Day 80, 21 March 2025 1) Deuteronomy 33, Psalms 91, Deuteronomy 34 DEUTERONOMY 33 Moses Blesses Israel Ge 49:1-28 1 (Jos 14:6) Now this is the blessing with which Moses, the man of God, blessed the children of Israel before his death. 2 (Hab 3:3; Ac 7:53) He said: The Lord came from Sinai and rose up from Seir to them; He shone forth from Mount Paran, and He came with ten thousands of holy ones; from His right hand went a fiery lawOr flashing lightning. for them. 3 (Lk 10:39; Hos 11:1) Surely, He loved the people; all His holy ones are in Your hand, and they sit down at Your feet; everyone receives Your words. 4 (Ps 119:111; Jn 1:17) Moses decreed to us a law, the inheritance of the assembly of Jacob. 5 (Dt 32:15) He was king over Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel were gathered together. 6 (Ge 49:3-4) Let Reuben live, and not die, and let not his men be few. 7 (Ge 49:8-12) This is the blessing to Judah. He said: Listen, O Lord, to the voice of Judah, and bring him to his people; may his hands contend for them, and may You help him against his enemies. 8 (Ex 17:7; 28:30) Of Levi he said: Let Your Thummim and Your Urim be with Your godly one, whom You tested at Massah, and with whom You contended at the waters of Meribah, 9 who said to his father and to his mother, "I have not seen him," and he did not acknowledge his brothers or know his own children, for they have kept Your word and guarded Your covenant. 10 (Lev 10:11; Ps 51:19) They will teach Jacob Your judgments and Israel Your law. They will put incense before You and the whole burnt offerings on your altar. 11 (2Sa 24:23; Eze 20:40-41) Bless, O Lord, his substance, and accept the work of his hands; run through the loins of them that rise against him and of them that hate him, so that they rise never again. 12 Of Benjamin he said: The beloved of the Lord will dwell in safety by Him, and the Lord will protect him all day long; he will dwell between His shoulders. 13 (Ge 49:22-26) Of Joseph he said: May his land be blessed of the Lord, from the harvest of the heavens, by the dew, and by the deep crouching beneath, 14 by the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and by the choice things put forth by the moon, 15 (Hab 3:6; Ge 49:26) by the finest things of the ancient mountains, and by the choice things of the everlasting hills, 16 (Ex 3:2-4; Ps 24:1) by the best things of the earth and its fullness, and by the goodwill of Him who dwelt in the bush. May the blessing rest on the head of Joseph, on top of the head of him who was separated from his brothers. 17 (Nu 23:22; 1Ki 22:11; Ps 44:5) His glory is like the firstborn of his bull, and his horns are like the horns of a wild ox; with them he will push the peoples together to the ends of the earth; they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh. 18 (Ge 49:13-15) Of Zebulun he said: Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going outside, and Issachar in your tents. 19 (Ps 4:5; Isa 2:3) They will call the peoples to the mountain; there they will offer sacrifices of righteousness, for they will draw out the abundance of the seas and the treasures hid in the sand. 20 (Ge 49:19) Of Gad he said: Blessed be he who enlarges Gad; he dwells as a lion and tears an arm and the crown of a head. 21 (Jos 1:14) He provided the first part for himself, because there, in a portion of the ruler, he was seated. He came with the heads of the people. He executed the justice of the Lord, and His ordinances with Israel. 22 (Jos 19:47; Jdg 18:27) Of Dan he said: Dan is a lion’s whelp; he will leap forth from Bashan. 23 (Ge 49:21; Jos 19:32-39) Of Naphtali he said: O Naphtali, satisfied with favor and full with the blessing of the Lord, possess the west and the south. 24 (Ge 49:20; Job 29:6) Of Asher he said: May Asher be blessed with children; may he be acceptable to his brothers, and may he dip his foot in oil.A metaphor depicting prosperity. 25 Your sandals will be iron and brass; according to your days, so shall be your strength. 26 (Ex 15:11; Ps 104:3) There is none like the God of Jeshurun, who rides through the heavens to help you, and in His majesty through the skies. 27 (Ge 49:24; Ps 90:1-2) The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath you are the everlasting arms; He will drive out the enemy before you, and will say, "Destroy them." 28 (Nu 23:9; Ge 27:28) Israel dwells in safety; the fountain of Jacob will be secluded in a land of grain and new wine; its heavens will rain down dew. 29 (2Sa 7:23; Ps 115:9-11) Blessed are you, O Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by the Lord, the shield of your help, who is the sword of your majesty! Your enemies will cringe before you, and you will tread upon their high places. Deuteronomy 33 [1] And this is the blessing, wherewith Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death. [2] And he said, The LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints: from his right hand went a fiery law for them. [3] Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words. [4] Moses commanded us a law, even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob. [5] And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel were gathered together. [6] Let Reuben live, and not die; and let not his men be few. [7] And this is the blessing of Judah: and he said, Hear, LORD, the voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people: let his hands be sufficient for him; and be thou an help to him from his enemies. [8] And of Levi he said, Let thy Thummim and thy Urim be with thy holy one, whom thou didst prove at Massah, and with whom thou didst strive at the waters of Meribah; [9] Who said unto his father and to his mother, I have not seen him; neither did he acknowledge his brethren, nor knew his own children: for they have observed thy word, and kept thy covenant. [10] They shall teach Jacob thy judgments, and Israel thy law: they shall put incense before thee, and whole burnt sacrifice upon thine altar. [11] Bless, LORD, his substance, and accept the work of his hands: smite through the loins of them that rise against him, and of them that hate him, that they rise not again. [12] And of Benjamin he said, The beloved of the LORD shall dwell in safety by him; and the LORD shall cover him all the day long, and he shall dwell between his shoulders. [13] And of Joseph he said, Blessed of the LORD be his land, for the precious things of heaven, for the dew, and for the deep that coucheth beneath, [14] And for the precious fruits brought forth by the sun, and for the precious things put forth by the moon, [15] And for the chief things of the ancient mountains, and for the precious things of the lasting hills, [16] And for the precious things of the earth and fulness thereof, and for the good will of him that dwelt in the bush: let the blessing come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the top of the head of him that was separated from his brethren. [17] His glory is like the firstling of his bullock, and his horns are like the horns of unicorns: with them he shall push the people together to the ends of the earth: and they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh. [18] And of Zebulun he said, Rejoice, Zebulun, in thy going out; and, Issachar, in thy tents. [19] They shall call the people unto the mountain; there they shall offer sacrifices of righteousness: for they shall suck of the abundance of the seas, and of treasures hid in the sand. [20] And of Gad he said, Blessed be he that enlargeth Gad: he dwelleth as a lion, and teareth the arm with the crown of the head. [21] And he provided the first part for himself, because there, in a portion of the lawgiver, was he seated; and he came with the heads of the people, he executed the justice of the LORD, and his judgments with Israel. [22] And of Dan he said, Dan is a lion's whelp: he shall leap from Bashan. [23] And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, satisfied with favour, and full with the blessing of the LORD: possess thou the west and the south. [24] And of Asher he said, Let Asher be blessed with children; let him be acceptable to his brethren, and let him dip his foot in oil. [25] Thy shoes shall be iron and brass; and as thy days, so shall thy strength be. [26] There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky. [27] The eternal God is thy refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms: and he shall thrust out the enemy from before thee; and shall say, Destroy them. [28] Israel then shall dwell in safety alone: the fountain of Jacob shall be upon a land of corn and wine; also his heavens shall drop down dew. [29] Happy art thou, O Israel: who is like unto thee, O people saved by the LORD, the shield of thy help, and who is the sword of thy excellency! and thine enemies shall be found liars unto thee; and thou shalt tread upon their high places. PSALMS 91 1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 (Ps 63:1; 84:2) I will say of the Lord, "He is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust." 3 (Ps 79:10; 80:5) Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the hunter and from the deadly pestilence. 4 (Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8) He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall find protection; His faithfulness shall be your shield and wall. 5 (Ps 42:11; 43:5) You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day; 6 (2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8-9) nor of the pestilence that pursues in darkness, nor of the destruction that strikes at noonday. 7 (Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3) A thousand may fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you. 8 (Job 35:10; Ps 63:6) Only with your eyes shall you behold and see the reward of the wicked. 9 (Ps 38:6; 18:2) Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling, 10 (Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17) there shall be no evil befall you, neither shall any plague come near your tent; 11 (Ps 42:5; 43:5) for He shall give His angels charge over you to guard you in all your ways. 12 They shall bear you up in their hands, lest you strike your foot against a stone. 13 You shall tread upon the lion and adder; the young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot. 14 Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name. 15 He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, and I will deliver him and honor him. 16 With long life I will satisfy him and show him My salvation. Psalm 91 1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: My God; in him will I trust. 3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the noisome pestilence. 4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: His truth shall be thy shield and buckler. 5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; Nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. 7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; But it shall not come nigh thee. 8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold And see the reward of the wicked. 9 Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, Even the most High, thy habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. 11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways. 12 They shall bear thee up in their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. 13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: The young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. 14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. 15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. 16 With long life will I satisfy him, And shew him my salvation. DEUTERONOMY 34 The Death of Moses 1 (Dt 32:49; Nu 27:12) Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is opposite Jericho. Then the Lord showed him all the land-from Gilead to Dan, 2 (Dt 11:24) and all Naphtali and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, to the Mediterranean Sea, 3 (Jdg 1:16; 3:13) and the Negev and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, as far as Zoar. 4 (Ge 12:7; 28:13) The Lord said to him, "This is the land which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, 'I will give it to your descendants.' I have caused you to see it with your eyes, but you will not cross over there." 5 (Dt 32:50; Jos 1:1-2) So Moses, the servant of the Lord, died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the Lord. 6 (Jude 1:9) He buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth Peor, but no man knows of his burial place to this day. 7 (Ge 27:1; Dt 31:2) Moses was 120 years old when he died. His eye was not dim, nor was his vitality diminished. 8 (Ge 50:3; 50:10) The children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days. Then the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended. 9 (Isa 11:2; Da 6:3) Now Joshua, the son of Nun, was full of the spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands on him. And the children of Israel - listened to him and did as the Lord commanded Moses. 10 (Ex 33:11) Since then there has not arisen a prophet in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face, 11 (Dt 4:34; 7:19) in all the signs and wonders which the Lord sent him to do in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh, to all his servants, and to all his land, 12 and by all that mighty power and by all the great terror which Moses displayed in the sight of all Israel. Deuteronomy 34 [1] And Moses went up from the plains of Moab unto the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, that is over against Jericho. And the LORD shewed him all the land of Gilead, unto Dan, [2] And all Naphtali, and the land of Ephraim, and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, unto the utmost sea, [3] And the south, and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees, unto Zoar. [4] And the LORD said unto him, This is the land which I sware unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, saying, I will give it unto thy seed: I have caused thee to see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not go over thither. [5] So Moses the servant of the LORD died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the LORD. [6] And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, over against Beth-peor: but no man knoweth of his sepulchre unto this day. [7] And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died: his eye was not dim, nor his natural force abated. [8] And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days: so the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were ended. [9] And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom; for Moses had laid his hands upon him: and the children of Israel hearkened unto him, and did as the LORD commanded Moses. [10] And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face, [11] In all the signs and the wonders, which the LORD sent him to do in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land, [12] And in all that mighty hand, and in all the great terror which Moses shewed in the sight of all Israel. 2) Our Daily Bread for 21 March 2025 titled <a href="https://www.odbm.org/devotionals/devotional-category/gods-own"> God's own </a> Isaiah 43:1-7 The Redeemer of Israel 1 (Isa 43:7; 44:2) But now, thus says the Lord who created you, O Jacob, and He who formed you, O Israel: Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine. 2 (Ps 66:12; Da 3:25-27) When you pass through waters, I will be with you. And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, nor shall the flame kindle on you. 3 (Ex 20:2; Pr 21:18) For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I gave Egypt for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in your place. 4 (Ex 19:5-6) Since you were precious in My sight, you have been honorable, and I have loved you; therefore, I will give men for you, and people for your life. 5 (Isa 49:12; 44:2) Do not fear, for I am with you; I will bring your descendants from the east, and gather you from the west; 6 I will say to the north, "Give them up," and to the south, "Do not keep them back. Bring My sons from afar, and My daughters from the ends of the earth, 7 (Ps 100:3; Isa 43:1) even everyone who is called by My name, for I have created him for My glory; I have formed him, and I have made him." [1] But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. [2] When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. [3] For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee. [4] Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. [5] Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east, and gather thee from the west; [6] I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth; [7] Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him. One day, while serving as my mom's live-in caregiver, we visited an art exhibit. We were emotionally and physically drained. I gazed at two wooden row boats filled with colorful blown-glass shapes inspired by Japanese fishing lures and flower arrangements. The display Ikebana and Float Boats sat in front of a black wall on a reflective surface. Speckled, spotted, and striped glass orbs, like oversized gumballs, were piled into the smaller boat. From the hull of the second boat, long, twisted, and curved glass sculptures rose like vibrant flames. The artist had shaped each piece of molten glass through the refining fires of the glassblowing process. Tears streaked my cheeks as I imagined God's caring hand holding me and my mom - His beloved children - through our hardest days. As God shapes the character of His people through refining fires in life, He affirms that our hope comes from being known and knowing we belong to Him (Isaiah 43:1). Though we can't escape hardship, God promises to protect us and be present (v. 2). His identity and His love for us make His promises secure (vv. 3-4). When life's circumstances heat up, we may feel fragile. We may even be fragile. But God holds us firmly in love, no matter how blazing hot the furnace gets. We are known. We are loved. We are His! Reflect & Pray Why does knowing you belong to God bring you hope during times of affliction? How has God used refining fires to shape your character? Loving God, thank You for holding me, molding me, and reminding me that I'm Yours. How are we to respond when we face hardship? <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0G2Pbu9WHqc"> Watch this video to learn how God is with us in our toughest moments.</a> 3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools Week 7 Promises of Grace - Day 6 Humility and Exaltation 1 Peter 5:6-7 6 (Jas 4:10; Mt 23:12) Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time. 7 (Ps 55:22; 37:5) Cast all your care upon Him, because He cares for you. 6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: 7 casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. "I was so humble I was given an award for humility," the pastor quipped. "They gave me a humility plaque - but they had to take it back when I hung it on my office wall." Humility is rare among 20th Century Christians. Our pride takes two seemingly contradictory forms: Self-exaltation and self-denial. But both focus on self, not on God. Francois Fenelon, 17th century French archbishop, From his "Letters of Spiritual Counsel" wrote: "He who so completely forget himself that he never thinks of self ... is truly humble. If we had the light to discern it, we should see clearly that when we think we are humbling ourselves we are exalting ourselves; when we think we are annihilating ourselves we are seeking out own life." True humility, as Fenelon implies, means recognising who we are in the light of who God is. Excess of self-importance and low self-esteem are both self-centered perspectives; true humility is God-centered. When we humble ourselves, we become intensely aware of God and less aware of ourselves. We can focus on his face and get our eyes off our own image. We can stop worrying about how others perceive us. Such humbling is difficult - as one 70-year-old saint joked, "It ain't the heat that gets you, it's the humility." But when we submit to him and fell the weight of the "Mighty hand of God" upon us, we can forget ourselves, abandon ourselves to his presence, and cast our cares upon him. Application a) What form does my pride usually take - self-exaltation or self-degradation? b) Why must I humble myself in order for the Lord to lift me up? c) How can today's verse encourage me when times are tough? 4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland Ps 35:27 27 May those who favour my righteous cause shout for joy and be glad; may they say continually, "The Lord be magnified, who delights in the peace of His servant." 27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: Yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. 5) From a Book called God's Promises for you: God's Generous Provision Matthew 6:24-34 God and Money 24 (Lk 16:13; 16:11; 16:9) "No one can serve two masters. For either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and money." 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 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? 28 (Mt 6:25; 6:31) "Why take thought about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: They neither work, nor do they spin. 29 (1Ki 10:4-7; 2Ch 9:4-6) Yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not dressed like one of these. 30 (Mt 8:26; 14:31) Therefore, if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is here and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31 (1Pe 5:7) Therefore, take no thought, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32 (Mt 6:8; Lk 12:30) (For the Gentiles seek after all these things.) For your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things. 33 (1Ti 4:8; 1Ki 3:11-13) But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be given to you. 34 (Mt 6:25) Therefore, take no thought about tomorrow, for tomorrow will take thought about the things of itself. Sufficient to the day is the trouble thereof. True Wisdom 24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 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? 28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29 and yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. 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. 6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?) 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 who were 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.

Eve, one of the many thousands of Palestianians living in Jordan, came to our clinic with back pain. Amongst the many desperate and demanding people that arrive at the clinic every day, she had an especially kind and sincere heart. Eve desires to please God and know the holy books. She attends Quranic classes each week at her local mosque. We invited her to a woman's exercise class and quickly decided to train her to become the class coach. As we visited each week, she poured out her heart. The gossip and suspicion between extended family members living in the same building was too much for her to handle. She also struggled with pain from her husband's debt and rejection from her stepsons. She ached for peace. We longed to read the Bible with Eve and she agreed! She drank in the prophet stories of the Old Testament, asking: "Do Christians still have to offer sacrifices, like Abraham and Moses did?" "Wait and see", we replied. Week by week, she asked her questions. Finally, we said, "We do have a sacrifice, but it is very expensive." Curious, she mused, "Expensive? Maybe a camel?" Eventually, we got to Isaiah 53. "This is about Jesus isn't it? He's the sacrifice", she observed, "But is he the sacrifice for ALL people?" We replied excitedly, "Yes, his sacrifice is for ALL people who trust in Him!" She looked flat. "I do believe Jesus is a prophet, but the Quran says he didn't die." We weren't surprised, as this is a common misconception. But we were saddened. Thankfully, the Word of God has captured Eve's heart. "I'd still like to keep reading with you", she exclaimed.
