December Update: MedRim Prayer Movement

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts.
(Colossians 3:15)

As we all spend time swimming around in the Old Testament prophecies about Jesus and in His New Testament birth stories, you can’t help but notice how unrooted our Savior was in His early days. He was technically “of Nazareth,” but He was born in Bethlehem and fled as a refugee to Egypt until there was a regime change in His country.

As you celebrate the first coming of Jesus and look forward to His second coming this season, pray that God would continue to work through unrooted people. A man who I will call Mahdi came to Christ in Greece, moved to Germany recently, and has led FIVE Islamic families to Jesus in the last month alone. He is “of Syria,” fled to Greece, and now lives in Germany – and is allowing God to work through him at every stop!

The enemy tried to defeat Jesus early in life, but, as we were told would be the case, the devil’s best efforts to strike Jesus’ heel just got his head stepped. Pray this Christmas season for Muslim background believers – both those solidly rooted and those who are most definitely unrooted like Mahdi – that they would be a part of proclaiming Christ’s victory over Satan.

May the peace of the Christ – who began life so unrooted and with refugee status – be on you and all in your house this Christmas season!

Thank you for praying with us for His will to be done in the MedRim. We couldn't do what we do without your faithful support.
