Please pray…

…for a Say Hello team who will minister among Muslim women in a sensitive European community the week of September 22-29. Pray for fruitful outreach and for our own hearts to be enlarged with love for our Muslim neighbors everywhere.

…for two women in an American ESL center who are being scrutinized and hurt by husbands who are suspicious of the center’s motives. Pray that these men’s rancor would supernaturally be replaced by genuine love and concern for their wives’ spiritual development and their transitions into western language and culture.

…for a worker whose ministry revolves around mission to Muslim women in her city and beyond. She has been witnessing to a Muslim academician who has become an avid Islamic activist in North America and Saudi Arabia. Please pray that the Lord would ordain J’s words and that she would be led and protected by the Holy Spirit, upon whom she relies completely. Pray that this academician would have a Damascus Road experience, so that like the Apostle Paul, her anti-Christ zeal might become zeal for Him.

…for a Muslim girl who is currently detoxing in a Christian drug rehab center in a sensitive country. She has been told she is worthless and has been beaten ruthlessly by family members. The first night of detox she tried to kill herself; she says her life is hopeless. She weeps during prayer and conversation with workers who share Christ’s love and truth with her. Please pray that she comes to faith, and that the Lord radically heals her body, mind and spirit.

…for Christian workers in Muslim countries worldwide whose safety is compromised by the riots that have broken out in protest of the film published by an Egyptian Coptic Christian. Pray for peace and protection.

…for a Christian worker family in Turkey who has just learned that the husband/father has terminal cancer. They have vested their lives in their Muslim neighbors. Their prayer is that through S’s illness their Muslim neighbors near and far, who are desperately broken over this man’s prognosis, would trust Jesus. May it be so.

Please pray…

…for widows in war torn Muslim lands, who are lonely, rejected and poor and have no one to turn to. Pray that they will meet the One who is a husband to the husbandless.

…for countless relationships that begin this month between Muslim university students who have been adopted by Christian families so they can welcome them to America, offer them loving hospitality, and speak Christ’s love into their lives. Pray particularly for female Muslim students, whose roles in their own communities abroad can limit the freedom they have to embrace new friendships in the West. Ask the Lord to protect their faith journeys.

… for women who are afraid to initiate friendship with Muslim women. Pray that the Holy Spirit will give them courage and insight to lovingly reach out to their Muslim neighbors. Pray that they will be successful and motivated for ongoing relationships.

…soon-to-start English as a Second Language (ESL) classes offered by workers among Arabic Muslim women in a specific Islamic community in the United States. Pray that the women will come with open ears and soft hearts, and for God’s favor to rest upon their teachers and the women who respond to their message. This community institute needs more teachers, volunteer children’s workers, and food service/break area helpers. Thank you for praying for these essentials, as well.

…women who serve in Muslim lands today, that they would be encouraged by the Lord through scripture, the visit of a friend, an email, or an open door. Pray that their hearts will be filled with joy.

…single, female Muslim background believers (MBBs) to find good husbands who love Jesus.

As of this Sunday night, August 19, Muslims around the world will have celebrated the end of Ramadan with spiritual focus, festive meals, and gift giving. Please pray for Muslim women worldwide whose Ramadan fasts have left them empty. Pray that they will seek Truth and that they will find Him.

Christian women who have Muslim friends need your prayers. Please pray that the Holy Spirit will guide their conversations in special ways this week.

A specific American woman who must remain nameless is married to a Muslim man and is finding it hard to understand his religion and culture. She needs wisdom to know how to meet the expectations of his extended family, and she needs encouragement for her own faith walk. Please pray for her and for any woman you might know or know of who finds herself in a similar dilemma. Pray that Christ will use such women to draw family members to Him.

…for Muslim women, children, and families from Syria who are fleeing the violence in their country. Pray that as they become refugees in other countries, they will receive comfort for the trauma they have experienced and that their hearts will be open to receive new life in Jesus Christ.

…for two women who have become followers of Jesus. One is called to be a missionary and needs God’s direction during this current time of decision and difficult transition. The second convert is growing in her faith, but her husband does not allow her to attend church.

…for Muslim women who are barren and therefore rejected because they cannot have children. During this Ramadan fasting month they will be praying earnestly for special answers to their deepest needs.

Please pray…

…for a Christian worker in a sensitive country, who must take a furlough from her ministry to tend ailing parents in the United States. Pray that the Lord would restore these parents’ health, and that the worker will also find peace in this storm. Pray for her ministry colleague who stays behind and will manage the ministry alone. She is a single woman with few Christian colleagues where she serves; the heat this time of the year, coupled with the challenges that Ramadan presents, are poised to challenge her stamina and strength.

…for Muslim women who will compete or attend the Summer Olympics in London—that they will connect with Christians who can seed their hearts with the gospel of Christ.

…that Christian women worldwide will take advantage of the opportunities Ramadan gives them to speak the love of Jesus into the lives of their Muslim friends. The opportunity for impact is especially available for Christian women whose friendships host immigrant Muslim women, mostly in nations where religious freedom exists.

…for Say Hello: Serving Muslim Women as we project for some upcoming events that we want the Lord to use in special ways. Our focus is for all that we do to bring Muslim women closer to Jesus.

…for girls’ and women’s centers in four conservative Muslim communities, each in different nations. Pray for that the Lord will meet their financial needs, so that ministry can continue without interruption.
