Praying with Purpose
Wherever I go throughout the Muslim world, there is one thing Christians always request when I ask them how we can help: "Please pray for us." One reason we wrote Secret Believers is to help those who live in freedom to understand the struggles of Christians living under Islam, and with that compassion to remember them as we pray. Many Muslims are becoming followers of Christ and they face special challenges - especially that they often have to keep their identities secret. They desperately request our prayers.
We have a few suggestions to help you get started praying for this special part of the body of Christ.
- Every time you see a news story from Gaza, Iraq, Pakistan, Iran or any other Muslim country or area, remember there is a Church there, and this news probably affects the Church. Use that news story as a reminder to stop and pray for the Church in that country. We also feature within this site Headline News that will give you more prayer points.
- Pray that Muslims will have an opportunity to hear about Jesus Christ, will receive a portion of Scripture in their language, and will meet someone who can show them the love of Christ.
- Pray for the political situation in the Muslim world. Pray for peace so that the Church may flourish and spread freely.
