30 Days of Prayer for the Mulsim World
Introduction
This call to prayer for Muslims originally came during a meeting of several Christian leaders in the Middle East in 1992. Several believers involved in an international movement strongly sensed God’s desire to call
as many Christians as possible to pray for the Muslim world. A prayer movement was planned to coincide with the Islamic month of Ramadan. It was intended that “30 Days” should be during the month of Ramadan for at
least two reasons: (1) as a means for Christians to identify themselves with Muslims during a fixed period of the year, (2) to call upon God’s sovereign
intervention in the lives of Muslims during a time of the year when they
are particularly religious. Please note that praying during the month of
Ramadan does not mean that we conform ourselves to the Muslim practices
of fasting and prayer.
As believers in Jesus we disagree with Islamic ideas, theology and practice
in several areas. However, the “30 Days” movement emphasizes God’s love
for Muslims. We encourage all believers in the Messiah to cultivate a spirit
of humility, love, respect and service toward Muslims.
The goal of this prayer guide is to inspire and direct each reader as he
or she intercedes for the Muslim world. However, it is far from being completely
informative. We encourage you to seek further information and
so gain a greater understanding of the Islamic world and God’s activities
among Muslims. Again this year we have included a number of testimonies
to encourage your faith as you pray. God loves Muslims. He wants them to
come to know Him.
The Editors
Each year in the “30 Days” prayer material we try to inform our readers more about
Islam. This year we have a special focus concerning the family of Mohammed. We hope
that you will gain insight into the life and family of this man who continues to greatly
influence Muslims through his preaching and example. In addition, we are trying to
focus much of our prayer efforts on some of the most remote and largely unreached
Muslim peoples. God has not forgotten them. God is awesome, and He knows the hairs
on the head of every individual who is Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Jewish or Christian.
Subjects and prayer topics in this edition of 30 Days:
• Christian and Muslim differences, misunderstandings, attitudes and false ideas
• Prayer for people with names taken from the family of Mohammed
• Prayer for peoples, cities, tribes, tongues and nations
• Special focus on unreached peoples without any committed Gospel witness
• What is it like to be a “secret believer”?
• Ministries are needed: healing, deliverance, etc.
• Testimonies of people who have found new life in the Messiah
