Ramadan Prayer Focus, Day 10: Pray for the 40,000+ Muslims in the Raleigh, Durham and Chapel Hill Triangle Region of North Carolina 🎓
A few Christians in the region began to pray together every day during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, using 30 Days as their guide.
Many of these sought opportunities to befriend Muslims at work or in their neighborhoods.
As a result, a handful of Muslims have become followers of Jesus!

Ramadan Prayer Focus, Day 8: Pray for the 422 thousand Muslims in Texas 🤠
Abdul found the Bible interesting, but not compelling. Then came a crisis. He was wrongly forced out of his imam position, which exposed him to the hypocrisy of the other mosque members. And his work situation required him to move away.

When the Cincinnati Reds game is over and fans stream out of the ballpark, they come face to face with people from the other side of the world. The streets outside the ballpark are lined with taxi cabs that cite their drivers’ nationalities: Salaam Taxi, Musa Taxi, Timbuktu Taxi, Senegal Taxi... and more.

The Chinese vision to send out 100,000 missionaries from China into the unreached nations between China and Jerusalem was not well accepted by many western Christian observers in the early 2000s.
From their armchair perches of plush Western headquarters, “mission experts” dismantled the Chinese notion.
Yet God used His Church in China to prove all of the mission experts wrong.
China went from having no known missionaries in the area between China and Jerusalem to having the most missionaries in less than two decades.
So now, what can God do through YOU and your "foolish", "crazy" vision??

Please pray for Muslims: Day 1
"I discovered that more than 85 percent of all Muslim movements to Christ in history began just 30 years ago.
“I don’t think it’s coincidental that thirty years ago is when the 30 Days of Prayer for the Muslim World prayer movement began. ~ David Garrison

"I had a choice of how to look at it: I could choose to accept that this is part of God's plan for my life, or I could choose to let it drag me down and question my faith."
Ever been there?...
Even though our troubles weigh heavily upon us, there is a proper time and procedure to see that burden lifted. (Ecclesiastes 8:2-6)
Don't chase fantasies. Don't be eager to get rich. Instead, work your land and be faithful. Don't show partiality. Do what you promised to do - day by day. (Proverbs 28:19-21)
We either live from our hurt, or live from our heart. ~ Dr. Michelle Watson

Better a meal of vegetables 🥕
where there is love 💘
than a fattened ox 🐂
where there is hatred. 💀 (Proverbs 15:17-18)
Prophecy (μαρτυρίαν) is fully understood in the death, burial and resurrection of Messiah (Revelation 19:10)
I may live in a tent instead of a house... but as long as I live upright, I shall fluorish. (Proverbs 14:11)
In the Bible, the number seven speaks of perseverance until Naaman is healed of leprosy, or the walls of Jericho fall, or Elijah's sacrifice is consumed.
Six speaks of giving up just before the victory.
You may have to try more than seven times. But don't give up! He keeps His promises, when we keep our confidence firmly in Him!
