The e-SU Team would like to ask that you join in and pray for all the members of e-Sword-Users.org.

We ask for URGENT prayer as Brother Stanley, and Pastor Mark - Leader for the New Malaysia Bible Translation Team, ask for permission  from the new bible translation team to allow the distribution of the bible into electronic format.  It is currently not allowed.  Please, Please, keep these men in your prayers that God's Word will be able to go forward in Malaysia.

We ask you to pray for all of our e-Sword-Users.org family.  We would like to take these few moments though and give you a glimpse of things we see in our family here:

We currently have users from 116 countries.  With the US, Australia and the United Kingdom having the most members. In the United States, we have members from every state, and U.S. Territory. But, we also have users from Portugal, Israel, Grenada, Paraguay, India, Brazil, Hong Kong, Chile, Denmark, Ecuador, and Venezuela just to name a few.

I think the ones that I really truly ask you to pray for are those that join us from countries that are not open to the Bible or to the Word of God.  Countries that are Communist, or Muslim.  Countries like China, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Nepal, Indonesia, Malaysia, United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Qatar, Macau, Azerbaijan, Pakistan, Jordan, Mongolia, Vietnam, Uzbekistan, and Oman to name a few.  We have members from each of the above countries and we ask you now, to PLEASE pray for their safety as they risk life, limb and even freedom to gain more access to God, and His Word.

Heavenly Father,

We come to you now, and thank you for everything that you are doing here on e-Sword-User's.  We thank you for each and every person you have brought here, and pray for those that are still to come.  We thank you for each team member, that you have brought together,  and thank you for the knowledge and strength that each one brings to the team, We ask you to guide and direct each one now, and help us to make decisions that would bring honor and glory to Your name, Father.

Father, we ask you to be with Brother Stanley, and Pastor Mark, Lord Jesus, as they approach these people about printing the Word of God in Malaysia.  We ask you to soften the hearts of the people they will be seeing, and speaking with, that your truth will go forth freely in Malaysia.

Father, we ask you for peace, and comfort for our fellow believers in countries that frown on, discourage and/or torture Christians.  Lord we ask you to give these believers strength and courage to stand up and make the stand for You Lord Jesus, Give them a peace that passes all understanding, as they face each situation.

Father we know that your word says in 1 John 5:14, "...if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us." and in Matthew 18:19-20 Your Word tells us: "Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them."  Lord Jesus, we know that you are with us, and as we come together as part of Your family, and bring these petitions before you, we ask You now to hear and answer our prayers.

Father Thank you for who you are, and for what you have given to each and everyone of us.  Thank you for being our Savior, for providing the sacrifice that allows us salvation.

We pray this in the name of the Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord,

Amen
