The young girls of the district of Durankaya in the southeastern province of Hakkari are campaigning for a local high school so they can continue their educations. The girls put up a canvas banner at the center of the town reading "We do not want to wait for our wedding doing nothing at home; we want to go to high school and university." The boys are allowed by the parents to go to a high school in another town, but they tend to be more protective of their daughters. Over 300 young women are being denied a higher education. - from Today's Zaman
Imagine a life where your entire ambition in life was restricted to waiting for a husband to marry you.

Project Kashmir movie coming out

Just saw the trailer for the Movie; Project Kashmir and it seemed to give a good idea of the situation in Kashmir. The movie is made by 2 Kashmiri/American women, one Muslim and the other Hindu. The situation concerning Kashmir does not have easy solutions. Please pray for Peace in Kashmir and Jammu.

Psa 24:1 Of David. A psalm. The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it;
Psa 47:2 How awesome is the Lord Most High, the great King over all the earth!
Psa 83:18 Let them know that you, whose name is the Lord-- that you alone are the Most High over all the earth.
Psa 124:8 Our help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.
Psa 148:13 Let them praise the name of the Lord, for his name alone is exalted; his splendor is above the earth and the heavens.

From a Short Term Trip Participant

No trip like this would be complete without funny moments and cultural shocks, a few being....

• The team's introduction to smelly 'long drop' toilets, and our scenic potty-stops were hilarious.
• Doing an inter-tribal powwow style dance with the people and looking over and seeing dear S. and B. doing the 'twist & shout' to the powwow song.
• I was sitting behind a bus driver and saw his head nodding like he was falling asleep. I yelled to get his attention, and my friend next to me started hitting him to wake him up, only to find that he was not falling asleep at all, and naturally he was pretty shocked.
• It was common for monks to walk the streets begging for money for their monastery and as one was holding out a $5 Yuan C. thought he was giving it away and took it and kept walking. The shock on his face was worth a thousand pictures. She did return it...

Our prayers are with those few who are working long term amongst these beautiful people who know not whom they worship. It is not an easy calling to learn two languages, suffering exposure to illnesses we are not accustomed to, and to have to always fight to stay in the country. Please keep them in prayer as well as justice for the peoples.

Pray for Nepali Believers

We all know that there is persecution in Orissa, India. This fire is igniting fires in some places in Nepal too. A Catholic father who was working in east Nepal was murdered few months ago. I heard recently that there is a threat coming to Christians in south Nepal and some pastors are fleeing to Kathmandu; the capital city for safety, because the threat is directed at them. Please pray for them. Also, in the mid-western part, some people are threatening Christians to force them to leave the village. In the past these Christian brothers and sisters had to go through a time of persecution, and many house were burned. They were beaten horribly and forced to leave the village and their property behind. So they left their village empty-handed, not knowing where to go. Please pray for our beloved Christian family in Nepal!

It's Enjoyable!

It's enjoyable being a liaison between our people group, my team and Christ-followers around the world. I get to do lots of stuff including facilitating/leading prayer times.

On Monday I was able to share the need and some of the hinderences that my team and our people group face. It turned into an amazing time of worship in many different ways... through marching, dancing, drawing, praying... all at the same time. It looked somewhat "messy" at times, but there was order in the chaos (if that makes any sense). It was active participation and God moved!

Next week I might share what some of the participants told me, so you can join in praying for the needs and ultimately rejoicing with us for the results!
