In partnership with a California megachurch to impact the 30 largest cities of the world, Team Expansion is offering training in Disciple Making Movement principles in Cairo. This third world megacity’s infrastructure cannot keep pace with its rapid growth: 36% of population is under the age of 15. Pray this DMM training will make an impact on the people of Cairo and that thousands will become disciples who make disciples who make more disciples.

The Internet is one of the most exciting medium where ministry is having an astounding effect in the Arab World. Opportunities for evangelism, apologetics, Bible study, discipleship, worship and fellowship are countless, and the Gospel impact in the Arab World through the Internet is truly amazing. Pray that the Lord of the Harvest will send more workers into the fields of the Arab World.

Praise the Ancient of Days for revealing His Son today as He did in Bible times. He is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. He is all-knowing and reveals in ways that are most convincing.
Pray for supernatural interventions from God, that Muslims in India will have dreams and visions about Jesus as the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

Salim was born in the Middle East, to a very religious Muslim family and raised according to Islamic teaching. As teenager, Salim enlisted in terrorist group to fight for the cause of Islam and became a potential suicide bomber. His bombing attempt failed. Following a serious confrontation with religious leaders, Salim fled his own country to Brazil to become most dangerous criminals and eventually had to live in forest to hide from police. Salim did not neglect reading the Qur’an or his daily prayers. One day he prayed differently, questioning the creator of heaven and earth. “Who are you? Are you Buddha, Mary, Allah, Jesus of the Christians? Whoever you are, I only ask you this: free me from this my present life and I will follow you forever.” God answered, and Jesus presented Himself to Salim several days later. A believer went into the forest where Salim was hiding and shared the Gospel. Salim still faces many struggles, persecution, beatings and humiliations. He understands his sufferings are small comparison to Jesus’ suffering on the cross and Salim proclaims the Messiah to his own people, so they may know God’s love manifest in Jesus. Ask God to reveal Himself to more people like Salim, remembering God can transform lives. Ask God to motivate, encourage and train Muslim background believers for outreach among Muslims in Brazil and abroad.

Bahrain lies between Iran and Saudi Arabia and consists of 30+ islands in the Arabian (Persian) Gulf. Open evangelism is not permitted, but believers can worship and minister using the Bible and Christian literature if they are sensitive to Arab culture. Christian professionals, workers, entrepreneurs find opportunities to engage Gulf Arabs. Pray for believers to creatively use these opportunities to meet and build relationships with Gulf Arabs so they may come to know Jesus and be used for His purpose and glory.

While Saudi Arabs go without food or water during daylight hours in these very days, Lord, would You awaken their souls to the superior satisfaction of Jesus. Oh, that their fasting this Ramadan would be far more than abstaining to be accepted by You.

As many Moroccans seek to be more spiritually sensitive in the month of Ramadan, let us agree together that the genuine hunger of many would be met through divine encounters with Jesus. Lord, we pray for visions, dreams, healings, and prophetic words of knowledge that cannot be denied and that bear fruit to Your glory.

“So Paul, standing in the midst of the Areopagus, said, ‘Men of Athens, I perceive that in every way you are very religious’” (Acts 17:22). Though we mourn the spiritual darkness of Islam, we rejoice that their convictions about God open the door for conversations about Jesus. Thank You, Father, for the ways that You will create dialogue about grace and truth.
