A lot of interesting info on Islam and its influence in SE Asia.

I recently received an email with this report from my friends in SE Asia:

Kara lives in one of the island villages and recently had some believer friends staying with her family. One night, one of these friends (who comes from a Muslim background) said that he would like to study the Qur'an with Kara to explain how she could be sure about going to heaven. The following evening, when Kara's parents went out to tend the family store, Kara was home alone with her friends. They sat down for the first study of the Qur'an, and her friend led her through the Qur'an pointing to Isa Almasih (Jesus the Messiah) as the only hope for salvation and the Bible as the book of truth. Kara had many questions and the next morning she asked if she could continue to study the Qur'an and the Bible with her friends.

Though her friends have now left the island, Kara regularly sends text messages asking about different verses in the Qur'an about Jesus.

* Praise God for Kara's interest and desire to seek the truth.
* Pray that the Lord will work in Kara's life, that He will send dreams that will lead her to Jesus.
* Pray that God would protect Kara from distraction and spiritual attack in this time of seeking.
* Pray that the rest of Kara's family will also come to faith.

This is so encouraging to me as it is evidence that the Gospel is breaking through in this part of the world. I was there this past January and I hope to go back soon, but if you are one that spends time praying for the world, add SE Asia and the Muslim people as well as those ministering to them to your prayer list.
