Global praise reports and prayer requests: February 20, 2015
Recent praise reports and prayer requests from NCN News, Nazarene Missions International, and JESUS Film Harvest Partners include:
PRAISES
JESUS Film - India
"I was so deep into bad habits, my parents were disturbed by me," shared Shamrao in India. "My parents did everything they could, but it was to no avail. I met a JESUS Film team and was able to see the film. I came to know who Christ is, and now believe He has forgiven me for my sins, and I have accepted Him as my personal Savior."
JESUS Film - Nicaragua
"I was involved with drugs and hunted by the police," confessed a viewer in Nicaragua. "After seeing the JESUS film, I realized I shouldn't be living this kind of life. I have accepted the Lord, but the change has not been easy for me. I am trusting in Him, and hope to learn more about His ways."
JESUS Film - Panama
"I live alone with a son who has special needs," shared a woman in Panama. "I worry for my son, because I am getting old. I feel everything will turn out badly for him. Talking with you today, though, I feel a hope in Jesus. I am giving my home to God to be used for a preaching point, and everything else in my life to Him to be used for His glory."
PRAYER REQUESTS
Request from sensitive area
Three families who were recently baptized in a city on the Asia-Pacific Region and the Nazarene pastor who had been discipling them were called in to give an explanation to local government officials, the police, and other important social figures who do not agree with their actions. This meeting could have a serious impact on these three families and also could have wide-ranging implications for the work of the church. For the full request,click here.
