Pray During Ramadan Posted: 10 Aug 2012 12:00 AM PDT Until August 18, when Ramadan ends, we will be specifically and intentionally praying for the 1.56 billion Muslims around the world.  We will not neglect the persecuted church during this time, but continue to intercede for them, especially focusing on those who live in predominately Islamic contexts around the world. Muslims are even more religiously fervent during these last 10 days of Ramadan because they believe them to be especially blessed. IN THE PALESTINIAN TERRITORIES Pray for Palestinian Muslims living in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip to place their hope in Jesus amidst the poverty, fear, poor infrastructure, and unstable government.  Pray for believers there to find favor as they intentionally reach out to their Muslim neighbors.  As people come to faith in Christ, pray that Christians would be unified, strong, and courageous in the face of familial, cultural, social, and religious opposition. The Palestinian Territories are number 44 on Open Doors’ World Watch List for persecution of Christians.  Information gathered from 30-Days Prayer Network’s Prayer Guide IN ISRAEL, JORDAN, SYRIA, & LEBANON Pray for the Druze people, a group of about 940,000 scattered around this area who adhere an exclusive, mystical offshoot of Islam.  Pray that they would be changed by personal encounters with the Living God as they submit to Him instead of the “esoteric mental exercise offered in their religion” (Joshua Project).  Pray for Christians to reach out to the Druze despite their isolationist tendencies and the negative reputation they have in the eyes of other Muslims.  Pray that they would exercise “faith working through love,” (Galatians 5:6) toward the Druze and that God’s miraculous power would show itself true in the face of the Druze’s mysticism. Information gathered from 30-Days Prayer Network’s Prayer Guide and the Joshua Project
