Over the last several days, the Kingdom of Bahrain has witnessed a wave of violence and bloodshed, and on a scale that has baffled everyone. We believe that the resultant suffering and chaos in Bahrain is an opportunity for the gospel to take a deeper foothold in the Gulf. We are praying that in the midst of the turmoil, and as the country looks into the future, that this island known throughout history for its pearls (the "pearl roundabout" has now become a symbol of freedom and the future) will search for and find the greatest pearl of all. It was Samuel Zwemer who said, "Will you not pray earnestly for these islanders that in their search after pearls that they may seek and find the Pearl of Great Price?"
May this beloved little country in the Arabian Gulf find their Pearl of Great Price, and may they go and sell all in their possession to buy it.
