Standing with the Persecuted<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Supporting and praying for our persecuted brothers and sisters is a frequent theme in our Missions Catalyst news briefs. But Wissam al-Saliby says it\u2019s not enough. In fact, he goes so far as to say international anti-persecution strategies are failing Nigerian churches<\/a> (Christianity Today). Learn more about al-Saliby and his fight for persecuted Christians around the world in Faithful Among the Nations<\/a> (World).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wisdom from Proverbs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019ve heard a lot about the Proverbs 31 woman. But where are today\u2019s Proverbs 22 men? Read Jaimie Oliver Garande of Zimbabwe\u2019s brief reflection on Proverbs 22:9 in To Solve Problems Skillfully<\/a> (Haggai International). Do you think we need more Proverbs 22 leaders? Let\u2019s pray for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also pray for those participating in the Parliament of World\u2019s Religions, August 14-18 in Chicago. But all religions are not one. I suggest you get the insider scoop from Carl Teichrib<\/a>, a critical observer and author of the book Game of Gods<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Greetings!
