“According to your faith will it be done to you.” Matthew 9:29 Please pray for the people of China. This is the world’s largest country in population, with 1.3 billion people. Some people in China are atheists; others are coming to faith in Christ. Please pray for the Lord to pour out His Holy Spirit and draw people to Himself. Click here to watch the series “10 Things Every New Believer Should Know.” These 10 short (2 minutes or so each), thought provoking videos by Jim Dennison covers such topics as how to resist temptation in your life. As Christians, we can be optimists. What is an optimist? An optimist is someone who believes that things will turn out well. As a believer in Jesus Christ, how can we believe that things will turn out well? We must be realistic — we know there is still pain and suffering in the world. At the same time, we know that God is loving and He is in control. Someday He will end this present time on earth and set up His kingdom where He will rule, and all death and sorrow will be done away. We also know that we have His Holy Spirit living in our lives as Christians this very day, and we can trust in Him and pray to Him always. We also know that our sins are forgiven when we accept Jesus Christ as Savior. What can help us be optimistic? In the book of Philippians chapter 4, Paul says “Rejoice in the Lord always.” He then says “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Then he says, “Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable — if anything is excellent or praiseworthy — think about such things.” So God can help us to be optimistic as we: 1) Rejoice in the Lord always; 2) Do not be anxious, but pray about everything with thanksgiving; 3) Put our mind on good things. This week, let us pray: God will help us have a positive mental outlook God will bring physical healing to someone near to you God will protect our staff at Global Media Outreach and surround us in His great love THANK YOU so much for your prayers. God hears and answer prayers; so, as you pray, we are covered and protected in God’s love.

“The joy of the Lord is your strength.” Nehemiah 8:10 Please pray for the people of Iceland. Iceland is one of the world’s smallest countries, located in the ocean northwest of Great Britain. This year the country of Iceland has had many financial reverses; please pray that God will bring many people in Iceland to Himself through these more difficult times. Here is how you can be joyful — click here and you can learn from Joyce Bartholomew how you can have the joy of God in any circumstance. “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, rejoice.” The apostle Paul wrote these words about 2,000 years ago. When he wrote these words, he was in prison for telling others about Jesus. How could someone say to rejoice — to be happy — even when in prison? He could say that because his joy, his happiness, came from Jesus Christ. When you have accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, here are just some of the things you can rejoice about. You are a child of God You will spend eternity in heaven with Jesus Christ when you die Your sins are forgiven God loves you and wants the very best for you God will hear and answer your prayers The God of the entire universe is good, and loving, and kind God has given you the gift of the Holy Spirit to live in your life The fruit of the Holy Spirit in your life is love, and joy, and peace, and so much more That is why Paul said rejoice in the Lord — because the source of our joy is God. The source of our joy is not our circumstances. And because of that, we can rejoice always — not just some of the time or when our circumstances are good. So this week, let us rejoice. And let us pray God will bring joy through the Holy Spirit into your life God will bring joy to our team here at Global Media Outreach God will help us bring millions to Jesus and they will experience God’s love, joy, and forgiveness this year THANK YOU so much for your prayers. We are reaching many with the gospel, and some day in heaven we will meet and we can say THANK YOU in person for how much your prayers have contributed spiritual power to make this happen. May God bless you, Your friends at Global Media Outreach This is an actual response received at one of our Web sites: "I thank our Lord Jesus Christ for ever existing in our lives. I thank this website for reaching me in time of need. I thought I gave my life truthfully. Now I understand as a full adult what it really means in my life. Thank you so much." J, California

We may think we are strong because of our money, or our health, or our good looks, or our position. But all these things can fade. Money can go away; our health may fail; we all get older; and we may lose our position. But God will never fail us. When we ask Jesus Christ to be our Lord and Savior, He comes into our lives by the power of His Holy Spirit. Jesus now lives in your life and in your heart — and He is stronger than anything in this universe. So you do not need to be discouraged, or downcast, no matter what happens. God is your strength — a very present help in times of trouble. How do you access God’s strength? Through having faith in God’s Word by the power of the Holy Spirit. Trust in the Lord with all your heart; lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him; and He will direct your path. So this week, let us pray God will give you strength to “stand strong in the Lord” no matter what the circumstance God will encourage our staff team at Global Media Outreach and fill us with His joy God will help us present the gospel to millions more this year — and help people grow in Christ As we begin this new year, THANK YOU so much for your prayers.

“So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped Him in closhs and placed him in a manger, because,there was no room for them in the inn.” (Luke 2:5 7) Please pray for the people of Bethlehem. This tiny village in the country of Israel is where Jesus Christ was born over 2,000 years ago. Please pray that the peace and joy of Jesus would fill this town which has been subject to so much strife in recent years. At www.iChristianLife.com, you can find many resources to help you grow in your Christian life. If you click here here, you can see 4 short videos by Joyce Bartholomew who will share Life Lessons that God has taught her. One of the life lessons is “Be Joyful” -- how you can be continually joyful no matter what the circumstances. “Joy to the world, the Lord has come! Let earth receive her King! Let every heart prepare Him room, and heaven and nature sing!” There are the words to a Christmas song. It is so true — Joy to the world! The angel said when Jesus was born, “I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.” Where does this joy come from? Jesus is our Savior; He has paid the price for our sins. When we accept Him as Lord and Savior, our sins are forgiven and we are assured of eternity in heaven. Jesus is the source of our joy no matter what our circumstances. Jesus Himself was born in humble circumstances in a stable. His family was not rich, and He no doubt had to work much of His life. His country was oppressed at that time by the Roman Empire. Yet Jesus had joy — and you can too! Even if you are sick, or poor, or discouraged, Jesus Christ can be the source of your joy this Christmas — and throughout the coming year and the rest of your life. So this Christmas, let us celebrate the birth of Jesus with great joy. Let us pray this week That someday soon everyone in the world would know the true meaning of Christmas — that Jesus is born! That God would give our staff at Global Media Outreach great peace and joy That your family this Christmas would experience the joy of knowing Jesus personally Merry Christmas from all of us at Global Media Outreach to you and your family! Your friends at Global Media Outreach This is an actual response received at one of our Web sites: "I want to give thanks to the great deed you have done on this website; and thanks for being in my home on the one day I needed this the most. I want nothing more than to walk with my Lord God and Jesus and no matter what life may bring I will rise above it; even if it takes a little help like this has given to me today." G (USA)

“The angel answered (Mary, Jesus’ mother), “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God...For nothing is impossible with God.’” (Luke 1:35, 37) Please pray for the people of Austria. Austria is located in the heart of Europe and has a long Christian heritage. However, like many countries, it is so important to win the young people to Christ as well as people of all ages. You can learn more about Austria and pray for Austria by visiting here. Please pray that the Holy Spirit will be poured out throughout Austria and many people would come to Christ. At www.iChristianLifeRadio.com, we have special music this Christmas season that will help turn your hearts and thoughts to Jesus this Christmas season. You can listen by clicking here and 24 hours a day you will be blessed by music and Bible teaching that can help you grow as a Christian. Jesus is the Son of God! As we celebrate Christmas this year, let us remember and honor Jesus Christ as the true and only Son of God. The Bible says that Jesus was born of a virgin — that God Himself was the Father of Jesus Christ. This is a great mystery that our human minds may not be able to fully comprehend. God Himself became a man and lived among us. Jesus Christ was fully a man — He was a human being. But He was also fully God — the Son of God here on earth. When Jesus was born, shepherd were out in the fields at night tending their sheep. Suddenly “an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord...” You can read the full story in the Bible in the gospel of Luke, chapters 1 and 2. So Jesus is God’s Son. What does that mean to us? It means many things — among them, that God loves us God lived as a human among us so He understands us God was willing to come to earth and live and die for our sins so we could be forgiven How great is God’s love for us! So this week, let us pray that Global Media Outreach would see millions of people pray to receive Christ this next year God would fill our staff each and every day with His peace and joy and Holy Spirit God would bless your family this Christmas time with His peace and they would all follow Jesus THANK YOU SO MUCH for your prayers. You have no idea how much they mean to us. Your prayers can touch God’s heart and bring Him joy — and can bring much benefit here on earth. May God bless you! And may you have a blessed Christmas. Your friends at Global Media Outreach This is an actual response received at one of our Web sites: "I am just so grateful that there are real people on this site and actually take time to read what we submit unlike most sites where there are computer generated responses. I was feeling so discouraged but am now ready to carry my cross again and follow Jesus; thank you so much" P, Zambia

“‘I am the Lord’s servant,’ Mary answered. ‘May it be done to me according to your will.’” Luke 1:38 Please pray for peace in India. Our goal is for the love of God in Jesus Christ to flow through all the world; let us pray that people in India and Pakistan would cease hostilities and would live in peace with one another. You can complete 6 simple Bible studies here. Each Bible study will take about 20 minutes to do and covers a key area of the Christian life. You can also get there by clicking “study the Bible” at www.iChristianLife.com. This is the season we celebrate Christmas — the birth of Jesus Christ our Lord! Over 2,000 years ago, Jesus Christ came to this earth to be born. The Bible describes how “God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary...The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a Son, and you are to give Him the Name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High...His kingdom will never end.” Even though Mary was a virgin and had never had relations with a man, God said she would give birth to a Son Jesus — and He would be called the Son of God. This was a great miracle — God became a man and lived among us. How great is the love of God for us! God could have just judged us — He could have ignored us — but He did not. Instead, He came to earth to be born as a man and give His life for our sins. It is a privilege to serve such a wonderful God. This week, let us join together and pray for The love of God to be poured out on everyone who comes to our web sites Jesus Christ would become known as Savior to all your famlly God would help our staff to be filled and controlled with the Holy Spirit each and every day Let us pray that, at this Christmas time of year, the hearts of people all over the world would turn to Jesus Christ the Savior. He alone can save people from their sins. He alone is King of Kings and Lord of Lords. He alone will come again to rule the whole earth. He alone is worthy of all praise THANK YOU so much for your faithful prayers.
