Praise God for local believers on the Indian Ocean Islands who are boldly living out their faith in Jesus! Some are boldly showing compassion and love to others because of Jesus, others are courageously staying faithful to him while under a lot of pressure from their unbelieving families. Please pray for God’s protection over believers and that they will “shine like stars as [they] hold firmly to the word of life.” (Philippians 2:15-16)
