The Republic of Maldives is an Islamic country set on 2,000 picturesque coral islands off the southwestern coast of India. Very few Maldivians have even had the opportunity to hear the gospel. Ask God to help you understand the depth of his love for the Maldivians. Pray that officials would relent in their determined opposition to the gospel. In a village nestled in the foothills of Yemen's highlands, malaria is a constant plague and children continually suffer from diarrhea.
Water is drawn in dirty buckets from a well where flies and mosquitoes buzz.
The streets smell of raw sewage and garbage piles up near doorways. Officials in the capital plead for foreign workers to bring simple, life-giving health instruction to their people. Ask God to have mercy on the children of Yemen and send health workers to rescue them and tell them of his love. Pray that Christians would hear of this need and respond in willing obedience. A group of evangelists went out among the Yi people group of East Asia, visiting 15 of the 100-plus Yi subgroups, all of which have had little or no previous access to the good news of God's love.
