Lift Off! Task Unfinished - Day 08
A Promise to Bless All People: His Glory in Blessing Abraham (Genesis 12:1-4, 15:1-6)
Through the story of Abraham, God begins to give us a glimpse of His promises to bring glory to Himself by revealing His blessing of love to all nations. God makes an unconditional promise to Abraham and swears on His own character to bless Abraham and to bless all the people.
Pray for the Nghari Tibetans
Nghari Prefecture (Nah-ruh) is in the western part of the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. It covers approximately one-fourth of Tibet and has the lowest population density in China. The 68,000
Nghari Tibetans live only in this part of China. Tibetans consider religion as highly important and it maintains a deep influence over all aspects of their lives. Most Nghari adhere to Tibetan Buddhism.
People flock to Nghari’s Mt. Kailash, a holy place for Hindus, Buddhists and other religions. It is believed that one circle around the mountain (32 miles) can atone for a lifetime of sins. They also
revere Tibet’s Lake Manasarovar, the highest freshwater lake in the world. They believe it is a holy lake and that bathing in it or drinking its water purifies sins. Many have never heard that only
Jesus has the power to wash away sins.
God is moving in this area of Tibet. Christians recently traveled to this area and shared the gospel with Nghari Tibetans who had never heard of Jesus.
- Please pray that the Nghari people residingon Mt. Kailash, “themountain of God,”would come to knowthe God who createdthe mountain.
- Pray more localChristians will makethe hard choice torelocate in order to startchurches among the people of Nghari.
- Pray that the Nghari Tibetans will come to know the only One who can truly cleanse them from their sins.
