Boldness in newfound faith

What do OMers do with the boldness exhibited by new Muslim-background believers in sharing their faith in closed countries? It's a good problem to have, according to one worker living in a North African country. Chad* recently met Agmad*, who was kicked out of his home after deciding to follow Jesus. Chad soon discovered that Agmad had a strong desire to share his newfound faith with anyone who would listen.

"Many (new national believers) aren't familiar with official persecution, so we're experiencing a movement of boldness amongst them, even at the cost of separation from their family," said Chad.
"Agmad, who has been helped out with new accommodation, chats with people online and shares the Gospel openly with them. He has set up a web site and is regularly corresponding with people through that."

Pray for a revival throughout North Africa. Praise God for the boldness found in new Muslim-background believers in North Africa. Pray for wisdom in how and who they share with, and for their protection. Pray also for wisdom for the foreigners as they meet and disciple these new believers.
