'Without divine assistance we cannot succeed, with it we cannot fail.' (John 15:4; Philippians 4:13) We wish you a very blessed weekend, Greetings from Marga Hooglugt (GPN) URGENT: The father of a friend is dying because of lung cancer. She asked me to go to him to explain the gospel. She also thinks he is bound. Please pray for my protection, for the deliverance of her father and that he will accept the Lord. Miss. M. Mrs. R. asks prayer for deliverance from her depression and a miracle of healing for her cripple lower. Syria: The United Nations' human rights office says almost 93,000 people have died in Syria's two-year civil war. Nearly six million Syrians have been displaced.  The Syrian crisis has opened the door for many who would otherwise have had no opportunity to hear the Gospel. In this predominantly-Muslim part of the world, missionary workers are seeing hope restored, communities transformed, and people following Jesus. Muslim-background believers still face significant persecution from their families, communities, and governments. They need prayer for strength, as well as support from the community of believers as they navigate what can be a very painful journey and wrestle with issues of fear, faith and truth.  Please pray for the workers in the field to have wisdom and discernment to know how to respond. Pray for Muslim-background believers to have the endurance, courage, and faith to stand firm in the face of persecution. Prayer Alert Belgium: My mother became seriously ill and is urgently hospitalized. The doctors don’t know what's going on. Pray that God will heal my mom. Miss. M. Lately I feel myself not so well.

Somalia: On May 27th, a Christian woman in Somalia is arrested and imprisoned for participating in underground Christian work. "Fatima" helped for 10 years. She was interrogated, tortured and the Somali authorities have said that she should remain in prison for three months. It is 'Fatima' not allowed to use her cell phone and also her exact location was not disclosed. Pray that God protects her and give courage and peace during her captivity. Pray that the Somali believers will be faithful to Christ despite increasing pressure, and not will return to the Islam.
