10/40 Window Update

So we've decided to keep our bloggers, and ourselves, updated on the work of missionaries and Christ's message around the world through a weekly 10/40 Window Update!!
WHY? Because we can make a difference by PRAYING for missionaries to be lifted up to go into these nations and share the Gospel and to open the hearts of the unreached to the glorious message!

Now, this idea of the 10/40 window may be new to some of you, so below we've copied a definition straight from an incredible website dedicated to reaching the unreached people of the world with the Gospel of Jesus Christ!
"The 10/40 Window is home to the majority of the world's unevangelized countries. The 'unevangelized' are people who have a minimal knowledge of the gospel, but have no valid opportunity to respond to it. While it constitutes only one-third of earth's total land area, nearly two-thirds of the world's people reside in the 10/40 Window." - Joshua Project  http://www.joshuaproject.net/10-40-window.php

This week's update: Burmese, Myen people of Cambodia.  Population: 4,500  Christians: 0.09%
The Burmese are predominantly Buddhists. The traditional goal in Buddhism is to seek the middle path to nirvana, or ultimate peace. The Burmese have mixed these Buddhist beliefs with their own animistic beliefs (belief that non-living objects have spirits).
Prayer Points
* Ask the Lord to call people who are willing to go to Myanmar and share the love of Christ with the Burmese.
* Pray that Jesus will begin to reveal Himself to the Burmese through dreams and visions.
* Ask God to use the Burmese believers to share the Gospel with their own people.
* Ask God to raise up prayer teams who will being faithfully interceding for these precious people.
* Ask the Holy Spirit to soften the hearts of the Burmese towards Christians so that they will be receptive to the Gospel.
* Pray that strong local churches will be raised up among the Burmese.
