Israel will reopen in November and I could probably visit Lebanon by then but it seems most effective to continue developing relationships online and wait until January to visit them. My role in Saudi and Sudan is becoming more clear but please keep praying for even greater clarity. God used the visit to Saudi to cause me to think more about the potential for using native speakers and chatbots in social media evangelism. Please pray for this around the region.
Would you take 5 minutes to pray for these brothers? After reading my prayer requests, you may assume that I have some kind of pastoral role in their lives but I don't. I tell them that I want to be one of their many "good friends" and an "older brother in Christ''. I encourage them to share these prayer requests with an elder in their church. For most of them, it is easier for them to share these things with a foreigner whom they don't have to see on a weekly basis.
I send specific prayer requests via text every week or so. When I'm overseas for 3 weeks, those texts are sent daily and include the names of the guys I'm meeting with. If you would like to receive these prayer texts, reply to this email with "I'm in!" You can always say, "I'm out" later and it won't hurt my feelings.
My mission/vision here.
