C.S. Lewis once said, "I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen; not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else."
As a Christian, this statement rings true in my life. The Bible tells us, "Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path." Psalm 119:105 God's word (the Bible) illuminates our lives, and making life so much brighter. We are able to see because of His word, and to know because of His word.
That is just one of the many reasons why it is so important to make sure the persecuted church has His word. With all the turmoil and pain they are going through, His word can light their path, and illumine everything in their lives, and encourage them to stand strong despite the persecution.
And our brothers and sisters are grateful for God's word. Their Bible is their most valuable possession. Please pray that the Lord would continue to allow more opportunities to deliver His word to these believers.
Please partner with us as we seek to place God's word in the hands of every believer by sending a special gift Right Now. Only $25 will put 125 Bibles in the hands of the people. $100 will provide 500 Bibles. Please pray as to how God may be leading you in this area of ministry.

Pray for the Tamil Muslim of India
The Tamil Muslims are largely defined by their language, Tamil. They are drawn from various subgroups, especially the Syed, Sheikh, Labbai, Maraikkayar, and Rawuthar. They are mainly businessmen and industrial workers. Some are in white-collar jobs and some are engaged in embroidery work. Their relation with the other Tamil caste groups and the Hindu communities is cordial. Some members of the community are descendants of Tamil women and Arab traders.Ministry Obstacles
To follow Jesus within an Indian Muslim community is to risk much that is important in life. Family, friends, and status are included in what is at risk.
Pray for the followers of Christ
Although there may be no followers of Jesus among the Tamil Muslim community today, pray for those the Lord will soon call to Himself. Pray they will grow in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, learning to live in the power of the Lord's Spirit. Pray they will be without any kind of impurity, or greed.
Pray for the entire people group
Pray for the Tamil Muslims to live in peace with their neighbors, and be able to care adequately for their families. Pray for employment opportunities.
