NUMBERS 30

The Law About Vows

1 (Nu 7:2) And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children 
of Israel, saying: This is the thing that the Lord has commanded. 
2 (Job 22:27; Ps 22:25) If a man vows a vow to the Lord, or swears 
an oath to bind himself with a bond, he will not break his word. 
He will do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.
3 If a woman makes a vow to the Lord, and binds herself by a bond, 
while in her father's house in her youth, 
4 and her father hears her vow and her bond with which she has bound 
herself, and her father is silent to her, then all her vows will stand, 
and every bond with which she has bound herself will stand. 
5 But if her father restrains her in the day he hears, none of her vows 
or her bonds with which she has bound herself will stand, 
and the Lord will forgive her, because her father restrained her.
6 (Ps 56:12) If she had a husband when she vowed, or uttered anything 
out of her lips with which she bound herself, 
7 and her husband heard it and was silent to her in the day that he heard it, 
then her vows will stand, and her bonds with which she bound herself will stand. 
8 (Ge 3:16) But if her husband restrains her on the day that he heard it, 
then he will make her vow which she vowed and that which she uttered 
with her lips, with which she bound herself, of no effect, 
and the Lord will forgive her.
9 But every vow of a widow and of her that is divorced, 
with which she has bound herself, will stand against her.
10 If she vowed in her husband's house, or bound herself by a bond 
with an oath, 
11 and her husband heard it and was silent to her and did not restrain her, 
then all her vows will stand, and every bond with 
which she bound herself will stand. 
12 (Nu 30:8) But if her husband has clearly voided them on the day 
he heard them, then whatever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, 
or concerning the bond of herself, will not stand. Her husband 
has voided them, and the Lord will forgive her. 
13 Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict her soul, 
her husband may establish, or her husband may nullify. 
14 But if her husband says nothing to her from day to day, 
then he confirms all her vows, or all her pledges, which bind her. 
He confirms them because he said nothing to her on the day that he heard them. 
15 (Lev 5:1) But if he clearly makes them void after he has heard them, 
then he will bear her iniquity.
16 These are the statutes which the Lord commanded Moses, 
between a man and his wife, and between the father and his daughter, 
while she is still young and in her father's house.

Numbers 30
[1] And Moses spake unto the heads of the tribes concerning the children of
Israel, saying, This is the thing which the LORD hath commanded.
[2] If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul with
a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all that
proceedeth out of his mouth.
[3] If a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD, and bind herself by a bond,
being in her father's house in her youth;
[4] And her father hear her vow, and her bond wherewith she hath bound her
soul, and her father shall hold his peace at her: then all her vows shall
stand, and every bond wherewith she hath bound her soul shall stand.
[5] But if her father disallow her in the day that he heareth; not any of
her vows, or of her bonds wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand:
and the LORD shall forgive her, because her father disallowed her.
[6] And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed, or uttered ought out
of her lips, wherewith she bound her soul;
[7] And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her in the day that he
heard it: then her vows shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound her
soul shall stand.
[8] But if her husband disallowed her on the day that he heard it; then he
shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her
lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of none effect: and the LORD shall
forgive her.
[9] But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced, wherewith they
have bound their souls, shall stand against her.
[10] And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond
with an oath;
[11] And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and disallowed her
not: then all her vows shall stand, and every bond wherewith she bound her
soul shall stand.
[12] But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day he heard
them; then whatsoever proceeded out of her lips concerning her vows, or
concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand: her husband hath made them
void; and the LORD shall forgive her.
[13] Every vow, and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may
establish it, or her husband may make it void.
[14] But if her husband altogether hold his peace at her from day to day;
then he establisheth all her vows, or all her bonds, which are upon her: he
confirmeth them, because he held his peace at her in the day that he heard
them.
[15] But if he shall any ways make them void after that he hath heard them;
then he shall bear her iniquity.
[16] These are the statutes, which the LORD commanded Moses, between a man
and his wife, between the father and his daughter, being yet in her youth in
her father's house. 

NUMBERS 31

Vengeance on the Midianites

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 
2 (Nu 27:13) "Avenge the children of Israel on the Midianites. 
Afterward you will be gathered to your people."
3 (Lev 26:25) Moses spoke to the people, saying, 
"Arm some of your men for war, and let them go against the Midianites 
to give the vengeance of the Lord against Midian.
 4 A thousand from each tribe, throughout all the tribes of Israel, 
you will send to the war." 
5 So there were delivered from the thousands of Israel
1000 of each tribe, 12000 armed for war. 
6 (Nu 14:44; 10:8-9) Moses sent them to the war, a thousand from each tribe, 
with Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, with the holy vessels 
and the trumpets to sound the alarm in his hand.
7 (Jdg 21:11; 1Ki 11:15-16) They waged war against the Midianites, 
as the Lord commanded Moses, and they killed every male. 
8 (Nu 25:15; Jos 13:21-22) They killed the kings of Midian, 
in addition to the rest of those who were killed: 
Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, 
five kings of Midian. Balaam the son of Beor they also killed with the sword. 
9 The children of Israel returned with the women of Midian and their children 
and took their livestock, and all their flocks, 
and all their wealth for plunder. 
10 They burned with fire all their cities in which 
they lived and all their camps. 
11 (Dt 20:14; Jos 8:2) They took all the plunder and all the prey 
of men and of beasts. 
12 (Nu 22:1) They brought the captives, the prey, and the plunder to Moses, 
to Eleazar the priest, to the assembly of the children of Israel, 
and to the camp on the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan across from Jericho.
13 Moses and Eleazar the priest and all the leaders of the assembly went 
to meet them outside the camp. 
14 Moses was angry with the officers of the army, with the captains 
over thousands, and captains over hundreds, who came from the battle.
15 (1Sa 15:3) Moses said to them, "Have you saved all the women alive? 
16 (2Pe 2:15; Rev 2:14) These caused the children of Israel, through 
the word of Balaam, to act unfaithfully against the Lord concerning 
the thing of Peor, and there was a plague among the assembly of the Lord. 
17 (Jdg 21:11-12) So now kill every male among the little ones, 
and kill every woman who has known a man by lying with him. 
18 (Dt 21:10-14) But keep alive for yourselves all the young girls 
who have not known a man by lying with him.
19 (Nu 5:2; 19:11-22) "And you stay outside the camp seven days. 
Whoever has killed any person and whoever has touched any slain, 
purify both yourselves and your captives on the third day 
and on the seventh day. 
20 Purify all your clothes, and all that is made of skins, 
and all work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood."
21 Eleazar the priest said to the fighting men of Israel who went 
to the battle, "This is the ordinance of the law which the Lord 
commanded Moses: 
22 Only the gold, and the silver, the bronze, the iron, the tin, 
and the lead, 
23 (Nu 19:9; 19:17) everything that can go through the fire, 
you will make it go through the fire, and it will be clean, 
but some of it will be purified with the water of purification, 
and all that cannot pass through the fire you will make go through the water. 
24 (Lev 11:25) You will wash your clothes on the seventh day, 
and you will be clean, and afterward you will come into the camp."

[1] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[2] Avenge the children of Israel of the Midianites: afterward shalt thou be
gathered unto thy people.
[3] And Moses spake unto the people, saying, Arm some of yourselves unto the
war, and let them go against the Midianites, and avenge the LORD of Midian.
[4] Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye
send to the war.
[5] So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of
every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
[6] And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of every tribe, them and
Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy
instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his hand.
[7] And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and
they slew all the males.
[8] And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were
slain; namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of
Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.
[9] And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives, and
their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their
flocks, and all their goods.
[10] And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their
goodly castles, with fire.
[11] And they took all the spoil, and all the prey, both of men and of
beasts.
[12] And they brought the captives, and the prey, and the spoil, unto Moses,
and Eleazar the priest, and unto the congregation of the children of Israel,
unto the camp at the plains of Moab, which are by Jordan near Jericho.
[13] And Moses, and Eleazar the priest, and all the princes of the
congregation, went forth to meet them without the camp.
[14] And Moses was wroth with the officers of the host, with the captains
over thousands, and captains over hundreds, which came from the battle.
[15] And Moses said unto them, Have ye saved all the women alive?
[16] Behold, these caused the children of Israel, through the counsel of
Balaam, to commit trespass against the LORD in the matter of Peor, and there
was a plague among the congregation of the LORD.
[17] Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every
woman that hath known man by lying with him.
[18] But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with
him, keep alive for yourselves.
[19] And do ye abide without the camp seven days: whosoever hath killed any
person, and whosoever hath touched any slain, purify both yourselves and
your captives on the third day, and on the seventh day.
[20] And purify all your raiment, and all that is made of skins, and all
work of goats' hair, and all things made of wood.
[21] And Eleazar the priest said unto the men of war which went to the
battle, This is the ordinance of the law which the LORD commanded Moses;
[22] Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the iron, the tin, and the
lead,
[23] Every thing that may abide the fire, ye shall make it go through the
fire, and it shall be clean: nevertheless it shall be purified with the
water of separation: and all that abideth not the fire ye shall make go
through the water.
[24] And ye shall wash your clothes on the seventh day, and ye shall be
clean, and afterward ye shall come into the camp.

Dividing the Plunder

25 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 
26 "Take the count of the plunder that was taken, of man and of beast, 
you and Eleazar the priest, and the chief of the fathers of the assembly. 
27 (Jos 22:8) And divide the prey into two parts between those that took 
the war on themselves, who went out to battle, and between all the assembly. 
28 (Nu 18:26; 31:30) And levy a tribute to the Lord 
from the fighting men of Israel who went out to battle: 
1 person out of 500, of the people and of the oxen, and of the donkeys, 
and of the sheep; 
29 take it from their half, and give it to Eleazar the priest 
as an offering to the Lord. 
30 (Nu 3:7-8; 3:25) Of the half of the children of Israel, you will take 
one portion of fifty, of the people, of the oxen, of the donkeys, 
and of the flocks, of all manner of beasts, and give them to the Levites, 
who keep the guard of the tabernacle of the Lord." 
31 Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the Lord commanded Moses.
32 The plunder, being the rest of the prey, which the fighting men of Israel 
had caught, was 675000 sheep, 
33 72000 oxen, 
34 and 61000 donkeys, 
35 and 32 000 people in all, of women 
who had not known a man by lying with him.
36 The half, which was the portion of those that went out to war, 
was 337500 sheep.
37 And the Lord's tribute of the sheep was 675.
38 The oxen were 36000, of which the Lord's tribute was 72.
39 The donkeys were 30500, of which the Lord's tribute was 61.
40 The people were 16000, of which the Lord's tribute was 32 people.
41 (Nu 18:8; 18:19) Moses gave the tribute which was the Lord's offering 
to Eleazar the priest, as the Lord commanded Moses.
42 Of the half of the children of Israel, 
which Moses divided from the men who fought, 
43 the half belonging to the assembly was 337500 sheep, 
44 36000 oxen, 
45 53500 donkeys, 
46 and 16000 people. 
47 (Nu 31:30) From the half of the children of Israel Moses took one out 
of fifty, of man and of beast, and gave them to the Levites, who kept 
the guard of the tabernacle of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
48 The officers who were over thousands of the army, 
the captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, 
came near to Moses, 
49 and they said to Moses, "Your servants have taken 
the count of the fighting men of Israel who are in our hand, 
and not a man of us is missing. 
50 (Ex 30:12; 30:15-16) We have brought an offering for the Lord, 
what every man has gotten of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, 
rings, earrings, and pendants, to make an atonement for ourselves
before the Lord."
51 Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them, 
all in the form of fashioned articles. 
52 All the gold of the offering that they offered up to the Lord, 
of the captains of thousands and of the captains of hundreds, 
was sixteen thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels. 
(About 420 pounds, or 190 kilograms. )
53 (Dt 20:14) The fighting men of Israel had taken plunder, 
each man for himself. 
54 (Ex 30:16) And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains 
of thousands and of hundreds and brought it into the tent of meeting 
as a memorial for the children of Israel before the Lord.

[25] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[26] Take the sum of the prey that was taken, both of man and of beast,
thou, and Eleazar the priest, and the chief fathers of the congregation:
[27] And divide the prey into two parts; between them that took the war upon
them, who went out to battle, and between all the congregation:
[28] And levy a tribute unto the LORD of the men of war which went out to
battle: one soul of five hundred, both of the persons, and of the beeves,
and of the asses, and of the sheep:
[29] Take it of their half, and give it unto Eleazar the priest, for an
heave offering of the LORD.
[30] And of the children of Israel's half, thou shalt take one portion of
fifty, of the persons, of the beeves, of the asses, and of the flocks, of
all manner of beasts, and give them unto the Levites, which keep the charge
of the tabernacle of the LORD.
[31] And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as the LORD commanded Moses.
[32] And the booty, being the rest of the prey which the men of war had
caught, was six hundred thousand and seventy thousand and five thousand
sheep,
[33] And threescore and twelve thousand beeves,
[34] And threescore and one thousand asses,
[35] And thirty and two thousand persons in all, of woman that had not known
man by lying with him.
[36] And the half, which was the portion of them that went out to war, was
in number three hundred thousand and seven and thirty thousand and five
hundred sheep:
[37] And the LORD's tribute of the sheep was six hundred and threescore and
fifteen.
[38] And the beeves were thirty and six thousand; of which the LORD's
tribute was threescore and twelve.
[39] And the asses were thirty thousand and five hundred; of which the
LORD's tribute was threescore and one.
[40] And the persons were sixteen thousand; of which the LORD's tribute was
thirty and two persons.
[41] And Moses gave the tribute, which was the LORD's heave offering, unto
Eleazar the priest, as the LORD commanded Moses.
[42] And of the children of Israel's half, which Moses divided from the men
that warred,
[43] (Now the half that pertained unto the congregation was three hundred
thousand and thirty thousand and seven thousand and five hundred sheep,
[44] And thirty and six thousand beeves,
[45] And thirty thousand asses and five hundred,
[46] And sixteen thousand persons;)
[47] Even of the children of Israel's half, Moses took one portion of fifty,
both of man and of beast, and gave them unto the Levites, which kept the
charge of the tabernacle of the LORD; as the LORD commanded Moses.
[48] And the officers which were over thousands of the host, the captains of
thousands, and captains of hundreds, came near unto Moses:
[49] And they said unto Moses, Thy servants have taken the sum of the men of
war which are under our charge, and there lacketh not one man of us.
[50] We have therefore brought an oblation for the LORD, what every man hath
gotten, of jewels of gold, chains, and bracelets, rings, earrings, and
tablets, to make an atonement for our souls before the LORD.
[51] And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of them, even all
wrought jewels.
[52] And all the gold of the offering that they offered up to the LORD, of
the captains of thousands, and of the captains of hundreds, was sixteen
thousand seven hundred and fifty shekels.
[53] (For the men of war had taken spoil, every man for himself.)
[54] And Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold of the captains of
thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tabernacle of the
congregation, for a memorial for the children of Israel before the LORD.

Matthew 6:25-27

Care and Anxiety
Lk 12:22-34

25 (Mt 6:31; 6:34; Php 4:6) "Therefore, I say to you, take no thought
about your life, what you will eat, or what you will drink,
nor about your body, what you will put on.
Is not life more than food and the body than clothing?
26 (Job 38:41; Ps 147:9) Look at the birds of the air, for they do not sow,
nor do they reap, nor gather into barns.
Yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much better than they?
27 Who among you by taking thought can add a cubit
[A cubit is about half a meter.] to his stature?

[25] Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall
eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is
not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
[26] Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap,
nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not
much better than they?
[27] Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

Nancy feared the future, seeing only trouble. Her husband Tom had fainted 
three times during a hiking trip. But doctors at a small nearby hospital 
found nothing wrong. At a larger medical centre, where doctors conducted 
additional tests, they also found no problem. "I was very afraid," 
Nancy stated. As her husband was released, she questioned the cardiologist 
one last time, asking, "What do we do now?" He gave her words of wisdom 
that forever changed her outlook. "G"o live your life," he said. 
"It wasn't in a flippant way," Nancy recalls. "It was his advice to us."

Such guidance captures Jesus' instruction in the Sermon on the Mount. 
He said, "Do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; 
or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, 
and the body more than clothes?" (Matthew 6:25). Such guidance doesn't 
say to ignore medical or other problems or symptoms. Instead, 
Christ simply said, "Do not worry" (v. 25). He then asked, 
"Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?" (v. 27).

The prophet Isaiah offered similar wisdom. "Say to those with fearful hearts, 
'Be strong, do not fear; your God will come' " (Isaiah 35:4). 
For Nancy and Tom, they're inspired now to walk more than five miles a day. 
No longer walking with worry, they step out with joy.

Week 5 Rejoice in Grace - Day 6 God Works!

Phil 2:12-13

12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence,
but so much more in my absence, work out your own salvation
with fear and trembling.
13 For God is the One working in you, both to will and to do His good pleasure.

12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence
only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation
with fear and trembling.
13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will
and to do of his good pleasure.

"I just can't do it!" Marlys, a career woman in her 30s, was struggling to fit
her new Christian principles into the business world. Accustomed to the
cutthroat tactics of the corporate hierarchy, she has a hard time knowing
Jesus' examples of grace and mercy applied.
Marlys was right. She couldn't do it. In our own strength, none of us is able
to "live the Christian life." Someone has said, " The Christian life isn't
difficult -- it's impossible!" Only the power of the Holy Spirit is
effective to work the needed changes in our priorities and behaviour;
only God can accomplish what he calls us to do.
In Phillippians 2:12, Paul says "work it out." If we stop there,
we are likely to throw up our hands in despair.
But the good news appears in verse 13:
" For God is the One working in you, both to will and to do His good pleasure."
WE are not left on our own to figure out how to live the Christian life.
God gives us both the will and the ability to obey him, to live in a way
that will please him.
The key to a God-pleasing life is not performance, but obedience. God does not
expect us to "do great things" for him, to deserve his love and grace.
Our part in the process of salvation is to respond in obedience to the Lord,
to say "yes" to what he asks of us. We cannot change ourselves;
we cannot even know ourselves apart from the Spirit's insight. But
as we cooperate with him, as we agree to be obedient, the Spirit changes us
within, and those changes are "worked out" into our lives.

Application

a) Have I ever tried to "Live the Christian life" on my own strength?
What was the result?

b) In what practical ways is Paul's declaration that "God works in me"
good new in my life?

4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland

Matthew 6:19-21

Treasures in Heaven

Lk 12:33-34

19 (Heb 13:5; Lk 12:21) "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth
where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal.
20 (Lk 12:33; Mt 19:21) But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven,
where neither moth nor rust destroy
and where thieves do not break in nor steal,
21 (Lk 12:34) for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."

19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth
corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust
doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:

God's Eternal Faithfulness

2 Tim 2:8-13

8 (Mt 1:1; Ro 2:16) Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead,
descended from David, according to my gospel,
9 (Php 1:7; 2Ti 1:8) in which I suffer trouble like a criminal,
even with chains. But the word of God is not bound.
10 (Col 1:24; 2Co 1:6; 4:17) Therefore I endure all things
for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain
the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11 (Ro 6:8; 1Th 5:10) This is a faithful saying:
If we die with Him,
we shall also live with Him.
12 (Mt 10:33; Ro 8:17 ) If we endure,
we shall also reign with Him.
If we deny Him,
He also will deny us.
13 (Nu 23:19; Ro 3:3 )If we are faithless,
He remains faithful;
He cannot deny Himself.

8 Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead
according to my gospel:
9 wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of
God is not bound.
10 Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sakes, that they may also
obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.
11 It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him,
we shall also live with him:
12 if we suffer, we shall also reign with him:
if we deny him, he also will deny us:
13 if we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself.

Remember God's promises when You pray

The Lord's prayer 

Matthew 6:9-13

9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."

9 After this manner therefore pray ye: 
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 
11 Give us this day our daily bread. 
12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: 
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

Saskatchewan

Quick facts on Muslims in Saskatchewan

Saskatchewan 2015 population  1125400

est Muslim Population       17279

CNMM Networks: Saskatoon

Saskatoon has seen quick growth in its Muslim population over the past
5 years, which maybe as high as 5000 today. Islamic leaders have 
focused specifically on this city , having twice already sent cohorts
of about 70 families to start mosques. There are now 7 Islamic centres
of worship and an ISlamic madrassah (school) located right next to a 
Christian school.
Of particular concern recently is the number of young adults who grew up
in evangelical churches and converted to Islam. Most of these are young
women whowere wooed by Muslim man and became emotionally bonded. 
Both prior to and after marrying, these women are known to convert to ISlam.

Agree in prayer with us for:
- entire congregations and individual believers to catch God's heart
and passion for reaching Muslims in Saskatoon and the other growing
Muslim population centres of Saskatchewan.
- for the eyes and understanding of Canadian youth to be opened to the 
  spiritual reality of Islam, and not deceived nor manipulated into
  converting to a religion which cannot offer assurance of salvation. 
- for the few workers among Muslims now engaged there, and for many more
  to be raised up into effective witness.
- for prayer and training events that are starting in Saskatoon 
  to spread and grow to other cities.

Pray for the People of Sandžak</a>

Hamza is sitting in one of the most famous ćevapi restaurants in the 
Serbian city of Novi Pazar with his foreign friend. People come here 
to drink coffee and to enjoy the best sausages and a good view 
of the pedestrian zone.

Hamza, however, is here to learn from the Bible. On their mobile phones 
the two men read John 8:32 together: 
"You will know the truth and the truth will set you free."

After a moment of silence, Hamza says: "That is what my people need. 
They should recognise Jesus as truth and as light. And He will free 
them from the many dark powers and the slavery of money." 
And he continues: "God sent you here for me! Without you, 
I would not be able to follow Jesus."

As the only known follower of Jesus in the entire region of 
around 250 000 Muslim residents, Hamza knows life in Sandžak. 
It is not easy for him to live his faith, but he always 
draws strength from the Bible.

The Muslims of Sandžak are a significant majority locally, 
but overall, they are a minority in Serbia and Montenegro. 
Thirty years after the war, they are still discriminated 
against and treated poorly. This is one of the reasons 
why many Muslims here are very religious and devout. 
In the city of Novi Pazar alone, there are over 60 mosques, 
three Quranic schools, and an Islamic university which 
trains religious teachers and imams.

How to Pray

Pray that more Muslims from Sandžak will recognise Jesus 
as the truth and follow Him wholeheartedly.

Pray that the people of Sandžak region would recognise 
the light of Jesus to be stronger than all the dark 
powers that they have experienced.

For more workers and new ideas on how to effectively 
share the Good News with the Muslim towns 
and villages throughout Sandžak.

My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further
call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity
(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .

and be their help

(
Ps 34:18 - The Lord is near to the broken-hearted,
and saves the contrite of spirit.

18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart;
And saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

Ps 145: 14 - 16

14 The Lord upholds all who fall,
and raises up all who are bowed down.
15 The eyes of all wait upon You,
and You give them their food in due season.
16 You open Your hand
and satisfy the desire of every living thing.

 Samek
14 The LORD upholdeth all that fall,
And raiseth up all those that be bowed down.

Romans 12:4-8

4 (1Co 12:12-14)For just as we have many parts in one body,
and not all parts have the same function, 
5(1Co 10:17; 12:20)so we, being many, are one body in Christ,
and all are parts of one another. 
6(Ac 13:1; 1Co 13:2)We have diverse gifts according to the grace that 
is given to us: if prophecy, according to the proportion of faith; 
7 (Ac 13:1; Eph 4:11)if service, in serving; he who teaches, in teaching; 
8 (2Co 9:7; 1Co 12:28) he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with 
generosity; he who rules, with diligence; 
he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness. 

4 For as we have many members in one body, 
and all members have not the same office:
5 so we, being many, are one body in Christ, 
and every one members one of another. 
6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that 
is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according 
to the proportion of faith; 
7 or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, 
on teaching; 
8 or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let
him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence;
he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness.

Col 3:17

17(1Co 10:31; Eph 5:20)And whatever you do in word or deed, 
do all in the name
of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. 

17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name 
of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.
