“Watchmen are ordinarily placed on the walls of a city to give notice to the rulers of coming danger. God appoints watchmen not only to warn men - often they will not hear - but also to summon Him to come to their aid whenever need or the enemy may be threatening. The great mark of the intercessors are that they are not to hold their peace day or night, to take no rest, and to give God no rest, until the deliverance comes. In faith they may count upon the assurance that God will answer their prayers.”  Andrew Murray

ALGERIA

An Algerian believer explains, "I went to visit a lady who said she had become a follower of Christ. She lived in a small town. She was illiterate. She had a vision of Jesus and had decided to put her trust in Him. She had a Bible but could not read it. She asked for help to read it, but no one would help. So she cried out to God in her desperation, and Jesus appeared in her room, sat with her, and began to teach her to read the Bible. She showed me that she can read it. Her family are amazed!"

•    Praise God for the revival that continues in Algeria, specially among the Berbers.

•    Pray that believers will be committed to fellowshipping together.

•    Thank God for the churches who have permission to operate openly, and ask God to protect that permission.

•    Pray for an increase in home fellowship groups too.  

•    Pray for good discipling of believers.  

•    Pray that Algerians will receive a burden for evangelism in their own nation and in neighboring North African nations.

•    Pray that there will be a softening of the hearts of Algerian Arabs towards the Good News.
