1/1
Intercede with Us for the Muslim World!
'For this is what the Lord has commanded us: I have made you a
light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation tothe 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 ofthe
Lord!
Today's Prayer Requests: From Students and Alumni
DR CONGO: An alumnus writes, Pray concerning the proliferation
of sects, particularly Islam, because ofpassivity.... Pray for the
Decade of Pentecost efforts of the Assemblies of God in Africa as
it seeks to raise up 10
million disciples of Christ filled with the Holy Spirit for the
last-hour harvest. As Christians are empowered for
witness, they will effectively touch the Muslim world.
MALI: An alumnus who serves as a missionary in Mali asks us to
pray that God strengthen our brothers who have
left the north to come south. Pray for all the refugees and the
men of God who work among them in the countries of
the subregion. Pray also for the authorities at every level.
This past week Ansar Dine, MUJAO, and Al-Qaida forces
moved southward and attacked an army unit near Mopti, the
northern-most town under government control. They
were repelled, but people fear further attacks and war. See

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 beendetained, for the
Lord's favor and peace in this situation. For more information, see

From Global Initiative*
Pray for the 25+ million Muslims of China to have opportunities
to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ. The three
largest Muslim people groups in China are the Hui (12.5
million), with concentrations in the east near Beijing, central
China, and the northwest; the Uyghur (10.7 million); and the
Khazakhs (1.7 million). The Uyghur and Khazakhs live
mainly in the northwest. There is little witness among them.
Most believers in China are Han Chinese and have been
geographically and culturally insulated from Muslims. However,
many Han Chinese are now moving into the
northwest areas. Pray that the Holy Spirit will touch the hearts
of believers to reach out to their Muslim neighbors in
love and wisdom. Pray that they can establish good
relationships; many resent those moving into their territory.
For Muslim Women**
Please pray that Muslim women in less restrictive countries will
leave their complacency and their culturally binding
belief systems and turn wholeheartedly to Jesus.
