Summary
God is at work in Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh! Even amidst the Covid pandemic, the gospel message is advancing among Rohingya people. But it's not without cost; Rohingya Christians risk intense persecution.
Dave and Pam lead Operation Mobilization's work in western and central Asia, overseeing gospel workers reaching Muslims in multiple countries. They will share first-hand accounts of the gospel's advance and the persecution Christ followers endure in their region of the world.
They will also offer advice to Western Christians who want to build a bridge to Muslims living in their countries. It starts, they say, with simple things like hospitality and friendship. Dave and Pam also give listeners encouragement for seasons of struggle and discouragement.
Finally, they will equip us to pray for God's work in Muslim nations—including praying for our Christian brothers and sisters and praying for government leaders in those nations.
November is a strategic time to pray for persecuted Christians as churches around the world commemorate the International Day of Prayer for Persecuted Christians. Download resources to help you and your church pray.

| 0:26.0 | what can I pray for you about? |
| 0:28.0 | Then if they invite me back, I make sure I go. |
| 0:31.0 | Because I want to be their friend. And if they don't become a believer that's between |
| 0:35.0 | them and God I cannot change people and I am not God I've had to realize that and |
| 0:39.6 | if they're responsive they'll say something and if not, well, I have to let it go. |
| 0:45.6 | Jesus never promised his followers an easy path. |
| 0:48.8 | In fact, he told his disciples that the world would hate them. |
| 0:52.3 | He sent them out as sheep among wolves. |

| 1:10.3 | Last week we began a conversation with Dave and Pam for their security. |
| 1:14.6 | We are only using their first names. They have a wealth of experience sharing the |
| 1:20.0 | gospel in Central and Western Asia as a part of Operation Mobilization. |
| 1:26.7 | I know that conversation encouraged a lot of listeners. |
| 1:30.1 | If Dave and Pam can share Christ in countries like Tajikistan, Pakistan and Iran, |
