With religious passions stirred to a fever pitch, believers are being cautioned to be even more watchful. In many places with a high Islamic population, Christianity is considered a tie with the West. That association frequently paints a target on those involved with outreach and ministry. When warnings like this come, contingency plans often go into effect.Among those taking the warnings seriously, Teen Missions . TMIs Bob Bland says theyve received a direct threat. In one of the sensitive countries where we have a Bible school, that on the television program, it was broadcast live that they were going to attack our Bible school after Ramadan on the 14th. Bland says there are 25 students in the Bible schoolstudents who are having a great impact in the area through child evangelism. We take that very seriously and of course were concerned for the sake of our students, and concerned for the sake of the ministry. But there are people out there that will attack Christians, so we need prayer for the safety of these young people.Teen Missions currently operates Bible Schools in four locations in throughout the region.From the news flow at Intercessors Network

The frantic upheaval among Muslims generated by mullahs and political agitators will cause a clash of civilisations of enormous proportions.We must pray for an awakening among Christians as to their responsibility to withdraw to prayer chambers and prayer councils to find the will of God revealed.We must pray for the storm to be held back for yet a while for the sake of intensified evangelism.Terry
