Prov. 29:25 - The fear of man will prove to be a snare.

A few months ago, we wrote about a lady named Helen, who had experienced some threats on her life.  She escaped to another nation for a time and now is back in her own country living with family members.  These family members are not people that trust in God, so their counsel and their actions are for the most part, based on fear.  This has made quite a negative impact on Helen as now she does not even go to church, seek out fellowship, or do much with her faith in God.  What a great power the enemy has in is arsenal, when he begins to attack peoples faith so that they begin to fear! 

• Please pray that Helen and other believers would not give up meeting together (Heb. 10:24-25), but would rather see how they could encourage one another. May they base their actions in faith of God's Sovereignty.

• Please pray that Helen would come to be reassured of God's power and victory in this world.

• Pray for 12 Lao kids in a Tai Dam hostel.  As their school term begins, may they walk in His ways, learn of His love, and have a word to encourage their classmates

• Next week will mark 8 months that the Teacher has been missing.  Please remember both him and his family.
