Details: Pray for Bridges’ Easter outreach gatherings—that international students will hear and respond to the hope found in the death and resurrection of Jesus. Pray for the students who will be guests of Christian host families for Easter. Pray also for the six Indian students who are regularly exploring Jesus and for the nearly 50 students who are in investigative Bible studies. Ask God that the message of the gospel would be clear and that he would grant them the gift of faith in him. Pray for Ruth and two of her children as they spend most of April in Zambia visiting Equipping Servants International (ESI) groups and providing a Bible Club for children. Pray for God to provide a missionary to partner with their work in Kasempa, Zambia. In addition to spiritual nurturing, the ministry there includes providing access to clean water, education, and healthcare for the community. Last year, they hired a doctor to provide healthcare to people in the community, and he is dependent on the ministry to provide funding for medicine to treat patients and for his salary. Please pray for resources to continue to offer these services. Oman (Asia). Population: 5,495,000 Believers: 0.8%. Praise God that Oman enjoys an open and modern society compared to others in the region. All residents may practice their faith, and the government gave land to build places of worship! Pray now for spiritual openness to the gospel among all peoples of Oman. From Operation World DVD-ROM 2010 and www.operationworld.org
