Jumaa Prayer
for the Muslims of Africa and beyond
'For this is what the Lord has commanded us: I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth. ' When the Gentiles heard this, they were glad and honored the word of the Lord, and all who were appointed for eternal life believed (Ac 13:47-48). This command that Paul quoted has not expired; its fulfillment remains the responsibility of every believer. Let's pray for opportunities to shine the light of Jesus before our Muslim neighbors this weeksome will be glad and honor the Word of the Lord!
In the News
IRAN: Last week we requested prayer for Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani, who was re-arrested on Christmas Day. We thank God for his release this past Monday. Please pray for two members of the same church network who have been detained, for the Lord's favor and peace in this situation. For more information, see http://bit.ly/TH9cHn.
