Fox & Friends is interviewing live 3 members of The Freedom Climb tomorrow at 0722. Freedom Climb was the climb of Mt. Kilimanjaro last month. Freedom climbers raised awareness, prayers, and finances for women and children being oppressed, enslaved, exploited and trafficked. Several bullet points from the Freedom Climb:
1. over $300,000 through this event for projects that will affect 10,000 women and children this year in 18 countries.
2. Perhaps a Kilimanjaro record: 91% of the climbers, all women, reached the peak (not a one was a professional or hobbyist climber). This is being submitted to Guinness Book of Records.
3. It is the biggest secular media attention getter OM has ever experienced. We’re willing to surrender our ship sinking and prison encounters adventures for that!
4. This is just the start.

TURKEY: THE 1881 PROJECT
Last July 2011, Turkey's Bible Correspondence Course (BCC) launched an 18 month initiative to challenge residents of all of the country's 81 provinces to consider the claims of Christ. More than a third of these provinces have no meeting of believers; many have no known believers at all. The BCC is working with international volunteer church and youth groups, giving training and advice as well as furnishing literature and other media to be distributed in each province. For more info or to sign up for prayer updates or even join live prayer meetings in Istanbul every 81 days, see: http://the1881project.org
Pray for Syria
Hundreds die in fresh civil unrest in Syria
Syria, the United States has closed its embassy in Damascus, Syria after hundreds were killed in renewed civil conflict there. The announcement came two days after Russia and China vetoed a U.N. Security Council plan authored by the Arab League in an attempt to end 11 months of violence.
Yesterday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov held talks with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on a solution to the crisis; all the while Syrian forces resumed bombarding the protest hotbed of Homs. More than 300 people reportedly died in the violence, including women and children.
Tom Doyle with E3 Partners says, "We know believers there, and it's extremely difficult. Some are predicting that the Assad regime will fall; others are saying he will dig in and never go down. So it doesn't look like any end in sight."
Doyle says since the unrest, Christians have been left alone by the government. However, believers still have to deal with the day-to-day violence. The climate for change is perfect for people to turn to Christ. "We're hearing the nominal Christians, Muslims, Alawite, Druze, in Syria are much more open to hearing about Christ. In fact, in some cases, they are seeking out Christians."
According to Viva Global Prayer Children playing innocently outside their homes, or trying to be helpful by doing chores or running errands in the community... these are the latest victims of Syria's conflict as violence in the nation rages on.
CryOut to the Father
• Pray that God will cause the Gospel to grow like wildfire in these Muslim strongholds
• Pray for the Believers in Syria to stay faithful and strong
• Pray for the safety and security of believers
• Pray for the Government and other leaders who are busy with negotiations
• Pray for God to use the uncertainty to draw people to seek the truth more urgently
• Pray that children will be protected amidst the continuing violence

Panama Update
Panama begins the process of recovery
After a week of riots, fires, road blockages, shortage of food and fuel, looting local businesses and much tension throughout the country, Panama woke up this morning in a state of hopeful expectation. Pending the signature of the President on the agreement between government and the indigenous, things are cautiously getting back to order throughout the country.
The protests of the indigenous tribe Gnöbe Buglé in the western part of Panamá caused great problems to the OM team in the Province of Chiriquí. Last week, a group of protesters blocked the only highway between Chiriquí and the country’s capital, Panamá City. The Gnöbe Buglé are upset with the government for approving hydropower and mining developments in the region. They want President Martinelli to exclude the indigenous area from the industry to protect the natural environment.
It now has been reported that the first 9 trucks of fresh produce from the province of Chiriquí have made their way to Panama City in the early hours of the morning, after a week of no commercial trading throughout the country.
All of this is good news for the team of OM Panama. This means that they should be able to resume normal activity in their daily operations. It also means that the OMers from around the world who have been in Volcán this week for the OM Latin America Finance Forum will be able to travel freely to catch their busses and flights back home.
