Dear Lord, protect your children in Brunei from the influence of the evil one. As we stood in public school science class here in America, so help the children of Brunei to stand in Islam class. Place questions on their lips for the teachers to stumble over, and strengthen their hearts to tell the other students your Truth.

For your children in Israel, a door to proclaim your truth has been opened. Lord, I pray for you to open hearts to the truth as your servants are emboldened to proclaim the Gospel. May they be encouraged and take heart.

And Lord, I pray for emotional healing for Pastor Santosh in India. Bring people into his life who will help him with his trauma, people who will allow for rest for his soul, strengthen him for Your battles ahead.
