Today, the number in the greater Algeris area is 4 million+. However, the number of MBBs in the city remains frightfully low-only hundreds. pray for the evanglization of the city of Algeris, Algeria!

Victoria - Thank you for your comment about American Christians praying for freedom and tolerance for other nations. I serve as a trainer for overseas workers and it's so essential that we remove the word "western" from the word Christianity. We need to allow the Holy Spirit to work in a country through prayer. Sometimes intolerance and persecution is the way the Lord brings people to Himself. It's evident in Asia and other places yet we attempt to fight for their freedom and the church is growing, thriving and mobilized! Tertullian (an early church father) said that "persecution is the seed of the church". We don't understand that in our 20th century western mind but God, Allah or Jehovah does. It's His job to bring people to Christ in His own way. We need to pull our grimy hands off of this at times and let God work! Allow the nationals to write their own worship music, set up their worship service in their own way and allow them to witness in a way that is appropriate for them in their culture. They know best and so does God!

What you pointed out demonstrates the power of culture over our perception of God, and I think this translates over into what I've been noticing as I'm reading the prayer requests from Muslims all over the world: we're praying for them from a Western perspective. As Christians in America, we enjoy freedom and the right to get up on our soap box, and our ability to spread our wings and be a "non conformist." We seem to want this same thing for Christians everywhere. For example, the Christians in Kuwait are working toward partnering with the government to further Christianity and be allowed to take it OUTSIDE of the four walls of their legal church building. As American Christians, it's natural for us to pray for more freedom and tolerance toward our brothers and sisters in Kuwait. It's very ethnocentric if you ask me, as is presuming one linguistic expression of God is better than the other. The Hebrews of the Old Testament didn't even speak God's name. Just some thoughts.

I understand that it could seem like blasphemy to say that Allah is the same as Jehovah. However, many "scholars agree that 'Allah' is the Arabicised form of the biblical Aramaic 'elah,' corresponding to the Hebrew 'eloah,' which is the singular of 'elohim'..." and "elohim" is translated as "the Most High God" in the Old Testament. (souce: Encounterin the World of Islam, pg. 20). Did you know that the English word "God" is derived from the German word "Gott" which refers to pagan gods? So, "Allah" is actually a closer translation of the word.

O Kord, help me not to judge my brother until I have walked a day in his moccasins. How much of the Muslim rejection of You is based on our misrepresentations of You? Bless all who in Your name seek to be ambassadors to our muslim brothers and sisters.

More amazing Cee, is to watch video of Muslim families at the Hajj spending hours, with little children, listening to the ceremony for up to 8 hours with almost no movement ... there is a reverence which is awesome, but a reverence to what ... a dead god, a being which Satan called into place ... striking to me is who is believing what ...

It is striking to me that probably very few Christians spend 5 times a day in prayer. Would that we do this and reach others with our fervency!
