๐ SURVIVING A MASS EXODUS: IS THERE HOPE FOR THE DISPLACED? ๐๏ธ๐ On 19 September 2023, Azerbaijan launched a military offensive in Nagorno-Karabakh, leading to a mass exodus of over 100,000 ethnic Armeniansโemptying the region of its Armenian inhabitants. As they seek refuge in Armenia, they face housing struggles, unemployment, legal challenges, and the loss of their homeland. ๐ Amid the crisis, God has not forgotten them. His promises in Isaiah 49:25 and Psalm 37:28 remind us of His justice and faithfulness. But as the global Church, we are also called to act. ๐ Join us in prayer for: โ Protection, provision, and healing for the displaced. โ Wisdom for Armeniaโs government in supporting refugees. โ Peace and justice between Armenia and Azerbaijan. โ Education, resources, and mental health support for displaced children. โ Ongoing global support for these refugees. ๐ฌ How can we stand with them in faith and action?

This week, our hearts are heavy for the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). On 13th February, 70 Christian believers were brutally murdered in a church by suspected ISIS-linked militants. In a moment of unimaginable violence, they were taken from their families and communities. Though separate from the M23 conflict, this tragedy is a stark reminder of the dangers Christians face in the DRC, now ranked 35th on the World Watch List. As persecution intensifies, we cannot remain silent. Let us stand in prayer and solidarity, lifting up our suffering brothers and sisters before the Lord. Let us pray together: ๐๏ธ Pray for those in authority, that God will grant them the wisdom and discernment to bring peace and protection to the DRC. May they have the courage to act for justice and safety for all. ๐๏ธ Pray for the Church in the DRC, that they may be filled with the love of Christ and show forgiveness to those who have wronged them. May they reflect His grace and mercy even in the darkest of times. ๐๏ธ Pray for the families grieving the loss of their loved ones, that Godโs comfort, peace, and strength would wrap around them in their deep sorrow. May they feel His presence in the midst of their pain. We ask that you join us in prayer for the strength of the Church in the DRC, for healing in the brokenness, and for the light of Christ to shine brightly amidst severe persecution. ๐ Your prayers matter. Your voice makes a difference. ๐ข Share to raise awareness. Read the full Pray for the Nations: https://incontextinternational.org/2025/02/25/pray-for-the-drc-3/

A quote from our director, Gustav Krรถs: As Christians we stand under the rule of our Lord and King, Jesus Christ, but in the 'rat race' of the world we easily allow time to rule over us. This focus or even obsession with time can easily dull our spiritual senses and make us deaf towards the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We should therefore not allow time to rule over us, but rather stay under the rule of Christ and remain sensitive to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, no matter the pressure 'time' wants to put on us. โณ๐

On 1 February, we had the joy of hosting two special gatherings in Pretoria. Our morning prayer group was a meaningful time of sharing and lifting up current events in prayer, while the afternoon Fellowship Gathering brought friends and ministry partners together to connect and hear about the future of INcontext. Both meetings reminded us how powerful small, intentional gatherings can be. Whether big or small, weโd love to be part of more get-togethers like theseโso donโt hesitate to invite us! Thereโs something truly special about coming together in fellowship.

Join us in praying for Myanmar. ๐ On 31 January 2024, Myanmarโs military extended the state of emergency as the nation spirals deeper into conflict. A controversial census and the first planned elections since the 2021 coup loom, bringing fear and uncertainty. But for Christians in Myanmar, the battle is even more personal: ๐ซ Churches raided โช Pastors arrested ๐๏ธ Believers displaced, especially in ethnic minority regions Yet, amid the persecution and violence, the Church shines as a beacon of hope, refusing to be silenced. ๐คฒ Will you stand with them in prayer? โจ Pray for believers to remain steadfast, anchored in Godโs Word and bold in their faith. ๐ Pray for the displaced and persecuted, that they find refuge, comfort, and strength. ๐ Pray for Myanmarโs leaders, that Godโs justice, wisdom, and peace will prevail. Your prayers matter. Your voice makes a difference. ๐ข Share to raise awareness. Read the full Pray for the Nations: https://incontextinternational.org/2025/02/04/pray-for-myanmar-2/

Wow! What an incredible milestone! Last weekend, INcontext proudly celebrated its 15th birthday! ๐ Itโs been such a privilege to serve the body of Christ by offering a Christian perspective on current events and strategically engaging the Church in missions. Each week, we send out an email featuring the latest news from a Kingdom viewpoint and prayer requests from around the world. Right now, weโre supporting 55 missionary families in about 24 countries across four strategic regions, with faithful intercessory prayer, member care, and financial support. Weโre also passionate about inspiring the next generation and the African church to get involved in missions. Through exposure trips and a heart for missions, weโve seen God move in remarkable ways! The past 15 years have been an amazing journey, and weโre deeply grateful for your prayers and partnership. As we look ahead to another year of ministry, we humbly ask for prayer in the following areas: 1. Our Content: Pray that our resources and articles would be insightful and impactful, guiding the Church with a Kingdom perspective. 2. Our Staff: Pray for the health, unity, and strength of our team, as they work faithfully to support the ministry. 3. Our Missionaries: Pray for protection, provision, and encouragement for our 55 missionary families serving in 24 countries. 4.
