Day 19
Bahrain
Praise Points
Praise God for the freedom of migrant workers in Bahrain to practice their religion of choice (The Bible, Psalm 86:9).
Praise God that more than half of the country’s workforce is migrant workers where tent-making is possible (The Bible, Acts 18:3).
Prayer Points
Pray for God’s Salvation message to reach every Bahraini household (The Bible, Romans 13:11).
Pray for migrant workers with a zeal for the Great Commission to receive opportunities in Bahrain (The Bible, Romans 1:16).
Pray for new Christian Believers in Bahrain to find fellowship for mentorship, discipleship, and encouragement (The Bible, Acts 2:42).
A Call to Salvation
Let God’s Promises become rooted in the hearts of new Christian Believers in Bahrain, and may they be the beacon for the lost (The Bible, Isaiah 43:4).
Promise to the Nation
But if we walk in the Light, as He is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin (The Bible, 1 John 1:7).
Bahrain was the first country in the Arabian Peninsula to generate oil revenue. The country made technological advancements, allowing 1.5 million migrant workers to make a better living. Bahrain is a monarchy, and dissenting against the government is illegal. They imprison and torture activists quite often. The societal environment is relatively liberal compared to the rest of the countries in this region. While there are no restrictions on religious beliefs for migrant workers, conversion from Islam is illegal. Yet, with adequate freedom to receive Christian radio channels and Christian programs on the Internet, Bahrain is open to a wonderful Kingdom Harvest.
Day 19
Taiwan
Praise Points
Praise God for Chinese Christian missionaries who work in Taiwan to further the Kingdom Harvest (The Bible, Matthew 24:14).
Praise God for the opportunity available at this time to preach the Gospel Message of Jesus Christ in Taiwan (The Bible, Acts 14:7).
Prayer Points
Pray for the Taiwanese youth to seek the TRUTH of the WORD as they drift away from the traditional religions (The Bible, John 8:32).
Pray for a revival in Taiwanese churches and for nominal churchgoers to be transformed into effective Kingdom Workers (The Bible, Matthew 9:37).
Pray that tent-makers from Taiwan’s trading partner countries visit this country and engage in the Great Commission (The Bible, Romans 1:16).
A Call to Salvation
Let the strongmen of the traditional religions in Taiwan be bound and banished from this nation (The Bible, Psalm 7:9). Let this island nation proclaim the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ throughout their lands (The Bible, Mark 16:15).
Promise for the Nation
The Lord is my Rock, my Fortress and my Deliverer; my God is my Rock, in whom I take refuge, my Shield and the Horn of my Salvation, my Stronghold (The Bible, Psalm 18:2).
Taiwan is an East Asian country that has a long-standing dispute with China. After the Second World War, a civil war erupted in China. The Republic of China’s government fled to the island of Taiwan, and the mainland became the People’s Republic of China. The in-exile Republic of China christened itself as Taiwan on December 7, 1949. Only 12 countries recognize Taiwan as an independent country. None of the NATO alliance or Asian countries recognize Taiwan’s sovereignty. However, a vast majority of the countries have strong trade ties with Taiwan. Religious freedom is a reality in Taiwan. However, their traditional religions have a firm grip on the population. Despite the technological advancements made by the country, they have significant problems in domestic abuse, human trafficking, and drug abuse. Taiwanese youth do not exhibit the same enthusiasm for traditional beliefs as their previous generations.
