Come to our Ramadan Prayer Night on March 10th
Ramadan, the 30 day fasting period for Muslims spanning from February 28th-March 29th, is approaching. For years the global church has intentionally prayed for Muslims during this time, specifically for Jesus to visit them in dreams and visions.
As many of you know, we have multiple Global Partners serving among Muslim people around the world and here in our community. Ramadan provides a unique opportunity for spiritual conversations as the hearts and minds of Muslim people are particularly tuned to spiritual things. Would you join our Global Partners and the church in praying for Muslims during this Ramadan season in one or more of the following ways?
May this real life story from one of our Global Partners be an encouragement and fuel for you to continue in your prayers:
This morning, I shared breakfast with my Bosnian/Egyptian friend who I first met through board games. He is Muslim, though admittedly not very religious. His parents met as a result of the war here, his father coming here through a Muslim relief organization sending food during the war. The theme of our time together was even though he doesn’t feel loved by his earthly father (how much this relationship can affect our view of God!), he has a Heavenly Father that loves him dearly. When we left the restaurant, we saw two cars with snow on them that both had the words “love” and “you are loved” written into the snow. We both took that as a sign from God. How good is our God that He would leave such a beautiful message in the snow for us?! 🙌🏽
Reminder to us all today:
YOU ARE LOVED AND LOVED DEARLY BY THE ONE WHO FORMED YOU.
Pray for this friend during Ramadan! And, choose one or more of these ways to come to the Father to lift up Muslims all over the world during Ramadan.
