"But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you." - Psalm 5:11 Pastors in jail: • Release for the prisoners • God's protection over their health, their strength, and their spirit • Divine encouragement God's servants working covertly in countries with no true freedom of religion: • Safety and protection • God's continual guarding of their work • New leaders with courage to continue the work Church planters and believers in socially hostile environments: • Protection, endurance, safety and God's glory in the midst of persecution • Strong leadership to effectively build the body of Christ in the face of opposition "The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor." - Isaiah 61:1-2a "And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved." - Acts 2:47b Thank God for answering prayers during 2005: • 1,072,567 individual decisions for Christ • 13,684 Churches planted • 2,944 Church planters & workers equipped • 13,388 Pastors & workers trained • 365,000 Bibles and Scriptures provided • 5,703,000 Evangelistic booklets distributed • 2,050,000 Tracts distributed Continued responsiveness to the Gospel: In the face of persecution, God is bringing about one of the greatest revivals in modern times.
			We pray that • God will continue to bless these indigenous church movements with rapid growth. • Those who are invited will say yes. • People will exercise faith over their fears. All involved would seek the Lord first: • We trust the Lord; He is the one who adds to His body of believers. The Holy Spirit calls people to Himself. • We pray for a spirit of dependence on His presence for leaders here and leaders in the indigenous countries. "He has shown kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons; he provides you with plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy." - Acts 14:17b God will provide needed resources: • We know that everything comes from his hand and all belongs to Him. • We ask for wisdom and stewardship to honor God as we give back to Him. Believers will respond to God's invitation to join Him in His work around the world: "...O LORD our God, as for all this abundance that we have provided for building you a temple for your Holy Name, it comes from your hand, and all of it belongs to you." - 1 Chronicles 29:16
