Lydia is serving in the Near East. She's learning language and culture while connecting with those around her to share and show what it is to be a follower of Jesus.

Prayer points:

• That my Arabic continues to grow so I can have deeper conversations.

• Wisdom in relationships to know when/what to share.

• For the people here that they would be open to hear and bold enough to question and seek the Truth. The consequences of following Jesus are high, but pray that seeds that have been planted grow.

Here are a few people I'm spending a lot of time with. Pray that God would reveal Himself to them and for soft hearts:

• language teacher

• friend from the supermarket

• friend I met on the street

• refugee kids I'm teaching
