Answer to Prayer
The increasingly committed faith among the Armenian diaspora is resulting in church growth not only among those abroad but also in Armenia itself, as diaspora Christians focus ministry and prayer on the land of their fathers.For an additional Answer to Prayer see Operation World book, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM.
Challenge for Prayer
The control of Nagorno-Karabakh, now functionally independent, is unresolved and a millstone around the necks of all involved. Refugees on both sides of the conflict (250,000 Armenians from Azerbaijan, and 530,000 Azeris from Armenia and western Azerbaijan) are still displaced. Although the armed cease-fire has held, all diplomatic solutions have failed. Both nations refuse to back down, and Nagorno-Karabakh itself refuses to accept any resolution into which it does not have direct input. Pray for an answer that is acceptable to all and that allows each group to move forward.For an additional 8 Challenges for Prayer see Operation World book, CD-ROM, or DVD-ROM.
