Ramadan, the Islamic month of fasting and seeking Allah has begun in Australia. In North America, it begins a day later on the evening before 12th August, and will continue for 30 days, ending on 9th September. During this month, the Muslim community do not eat or drink during the day (when the sun is up). To read more about Ramadan, click here.
As Christians, we are called to pray, and I believe God is calling us to pray for the Muslim people this month. Jesus desires ALL people to have a relationship with Him.
"For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth." 1 Timothy 2:3-4
Let us pray together this month for these people who need Christ so much! Growing up in a non-Christian family, I know it's probably the power of years of prayer that brought me to God. When we pray, He is surely faithful to answer.
The following short video produced by The Voice of the Martyrs ministry is very informative.
Please pray for:
1. Christian workers in Islamic nations, that God may give them many opportunities to witness for Him during the days and nights of Ramadan.
2. God to reveal Himself through visions to the Muslim people (as mentioned in the video above), so that they may come to the knowledge of Christ.
3. Opportunities for us to witness to our Muslim friends or neighbours.
Spread the word and tell your family, friends and church!
"Pray without ceasing." 1 Thessalonians 5:17
Blessings,
