PRAISE GOD THIS WEEK FOR:

WHAT HE DID AT THE OLYMPIC GAMES. The demand for Christian testimonial "mini-mags" and Sports Bibles was far beyond expectations and showed how well the churches reached out to athletes and crowds. (More Than Gold)

EGYPT. Despite increasing threats, church leaders report an increased spiritual hunger in Egypt, with many new converts in recent months. (Open Doors)

UC BERKELEY. Through the summer, Grad students have been growing in Christ -- reaching out to their friends, meeting in homes for meals, helping one another integrate their faith and work…and discover their callings in the world. (Dan Curran)

THANKS FOR YOUR PRAYERS THIS WEEK FOR:
ETHIOPIA. Pray for the people of Ethiopia, particularly the trained disciple-makers. Muslims are taking aggressive action against Christians. Police and government feel helpless to resolve the conflict as terrorists are growing stronger. (World Partners)

NIGERIA. In northern Nigeria, radical Muslims have chosen Sunday as their favored day for bombing churches. "We attacked simply because it's a church. We have just started." (Boko Haram spokesperson in a UPI interview)

NIGERIA. Pray for our persecuted brothers and sisters across Nigeria. Attacks continue to increase and the situation is becoming more volatile. There has been a series of coordinated attacks on Christians, with many serious casualties. (Open Doors)

SYRIA. Al Qaeda is gaining ground in Syria. Christians, who comprise 10% of Aleppo's 2.5 million people, are gravely imperiled.
