Three Christians in Iran were arrested from their homes July 24 and 25 following the violent arrest of pastor Yousef Nadarkhani on Sunday (July 22), according to advocacy group Middle East Concern. Pastor Nadarkhani, a convert from Islam like the others arrested, was awaiting a summons to begin a 10-year prison sentence after his appeal of a conviction for “propagating house churches” and promoting “Zionist Christianity” was upheld in May.

Please pray that…
– the Lord will comfort and strengthen those arrested and their families and that the Christian community in Iran will trust the Lord and not be intimidated.
– the Iranian authorities will treat converts and other religious minorities with respect and that they and their families will not be wrongly and aggressively handled.
– those officials responsible for the persecution of Christians will be convicted of the injustice and repent and find new life in Christ.

CRC’s World Renew, Kenya: A few months ago World Renew was responding to drought emergencies throughout Kenya. Now heavy rains have caused flooding and loss across the country. Many people have lost loved ones, homes, farms, and livelihoods as a result. Please ask for God’s guidance for World Renew staff as they assess needs and comfort people affected by this disaster.

CRC’s Resonate Global Mission, Central Asia: Pray for our brothers and sisters in an unreached city in central Asia, asking God to give our missionaries wisdom, to open doors, and to provide ways to share Christ’s love.

 MISSIONAL MARKER

The congregation of Hope in Christ Church has made the Spirit-filled decision to move forward and become a healthy missional church.  This week’s marker is: Sacrificial and Generous Living and Giving (Romans 12:1-8)

  • We help people discover, develop, and deploy their spiritual gifts.
  • We regularly, graciously, and unapologetically teach on the importance of financial stewardship in the spiritual growth of the Christian.
  • We have many examples of lifestyle choices being made on the basis of stewardship and the priority God plays in the lives of our members.
