Praying Globally
The Lord hears and answers. Praise the Lord!
Praise God for the completed 10th network meeting of the Lausanne Consultation on Jewish Evangelism. Praise Him for being amid the participants as they discussed reconciliation between Jewish and Palestinian believers, persevering in the face of persecution and moving forward with the next generation. Please see the statement from the LCJE web site: http://lcje.net/
Prayer requests from Global Diaspora Forum participants
Pray for wisdom and diligence for the authors and editors of the diaspora missiology compendium as finalize revisions to their chapters and sections. Ask God to remove all hindrances so that these revisions may be completed and reviewed soon.
Please pray for two Massah outreach teams of Israeli Messianic Jews. For the next month they will minister to Israeli post army travelers in India and Peru.
Please pray for the Messianic Jewish believers globally that will conduct High Holy Day services as outreach to Jewish people between September 13 and 23. Pray that the Spirit of the Lord will move during these times of celebration and reflection.
Pray for international students studying medicine to know that the Lord has good plans for them. Pray for local churches and ministries to welcome them with the love of Christ. Pray that students will grow closer to the Lord and, when they are scattered after finishing their studies, that they will be used to bring physical and spiritual healing among the nations.
Tens of thousands of Filipino workers are in Israel, many working inside Jewish homes or caring for the elderly. Pray for Filipino followers of Christ in these circumstances to make the most of every opportunity to share the grace of the Lord Jesus.
Global Migrant Crisis
Instead of focusing on a single diaspora people group or a single country with a significant diaspora population, this month we are joining other calls to the Church for prayer and fasting regarding the global migrant crisis. A small sampling of recent articles reveals the crisis is not isolated to a particular region or among certain peoples.

- "Inside the Migrant 'Jungle' in Northern France"
- "Image of Drowned Syrian, Aylan Kurdi, 3, Brings Migrant Crisis into Focus"
