      “Comfort My People”
      
      CMP is a ministry to the Jewish people of Israel and beyond, partnering with ANM. Historically resistant to the Gospel, many of Israel’s people remain unreached. These eleven Messianic ministries share the love of Jesus in various ways to draw the Jews of Israel to the Lord. Due to the sensitive nature of their work, protection of identities and details is sometimes necessary. However, Paul Robbins will gladly share information with individuals who contact him to learn more. “Comfort My People” assists these efforts through the generous gifts of our donors.
      
      Messianic Ministries:
      
      • Awake Israel
      
      • The Bible Society of Israel
      
      • Be’ad Chaim
      
      • Lech L’cha
      
      • Voice of Judah
      
      • Pillar of Fires
      
      • Reach Initiative International
      
      • Holy Land Missions
      
      • The Joseph Project
    - PRAYER REQUESTS / PAUL ROBBINS

  - - ANM
    - Tunisia is a secular country where the people have many freedoms including the right to convert to Christianity even for the Muslims. However, just this month we have seen drastic changes from these freedoms. Secret police have visited our believers at their homes and started investigating when they became a Christian, who helped them, and all the details about their lives. They even went to our safe house and ministry center, which are in secret locations know only by the local leader and the people who live and work there. There may be new trouble in Tunisia. We know that terrorist militia from Libya have crossed the border to Tunisia. A Facebook page was recently created to openly criticize Christianity and warn Tunisians against converting to Christianity. All this has happened within just a few days! Because of the new threats, our local teams are temporarily stopping prayer meetings and Bible studies.
    - PRAYER REQUESTS / KARIM SALEH
      
      Please pray:
      
      (1) That God would give the leaders wisdom—how do they navigate these new circumstances? Just last month they had freedoms, and now the secret police are investigating their personal lives and jeopardizing those freedoms.
      (2) That God would give believers boldness, that they would not be afraid to walk their faith and live as believers.
      (3) That God would protect them physically, emotionally, and spiritually, and that He would protect their families, homes, and belongings.
      
      Thank you for praying!
      Karim
