Praying for Muslims to come to Christ during Ramadan – DAY 2

(Voice of the Persecuted) As Blaine Scogin, the Founder of Persecution Watch and Prayer Director of Voice of the Persecuted, did each year, the team will continue to host nightly calls during Ramadan. We will be following along with the Prayercast Team’s platform in praying for Muslims for the next 30 days, which began on April 24. Please sign up here to receive the daily video and prayer points from Prayercast which we will cover on the nightly prayer conference calls.

DAY 2

Syria. Iraq. Lebanon. Jordan. Israel. Gaza Strip and the West Bank. Egypt. These are the lands of much of the Bible. Jesus Christ himself walked here (and will return here again one day!).

The Middle East has long been marked by

• Political strife
• Economic struggle
• Booming population

Today, the region has been ravaged by wars in Iraq, Syria, and Sudan. Millions of displaced people have either fled from or to every part of the Middle East.

.

This is the birthplace of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hamas, and Islamic State. But while some have been drawn to fundamentalist movements, many, MANY more have been disillusioned by what they have seen done in the name of Islam.

.

God is doing something new!

.

Out of the death and destruction in Iraq – new life!

Out of the devastation and chaos in Syria – new life!

Out of the upheaval and persecution in Egypt – new life!

Praise God!

.

And yet most of the region’s 188 million people still don’t know that Jesus Christ has paid their ransom so they can be free!

And so we pray.

.

PRAYER POINTS

• Pray for God’s love, peace, and mercy to liberate this region from turmoil, oppression, and fear.
• Pray for those questioning Islam to be drawn to the life and teachings of Jesus.
• Pray for miraculous numbers of families and communities to turn to Jesus.

Dear brothers and sisters, we challenge you to join us on the conference call to pray during these 30 nights of prayer for the persecuted, the harvest and for Muslims to come out of the dark, receive the truth and follow Jesus.

What is Persecution Watch?
Persecution Watch is a U.S. national prayer conference call ministry that prays specifically for the global Persecuted Church. For over a decade, Blaine Scogin led this national network of believers who faithfully pray for the persecuted and the global harvest for the Kingdom of God. The group meets via a free call-in service every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday night at 9pm Eastern (please check your time zone). Blaine also served as Prayer Director for Voice of the Persecuted and our missions became one. The prayer mission of Persecution Watch is an important part of our own. With the passing of Blaine into glory on December 26, 2019, Voice of the Persecuted is committed to continue the prayer conference call for the persecuted along with our dedicated prayer warrior team.

On occasion, persecuted brothers and sisters have been invited on the call to share the trials they’re facing. The team serves to encourage them by washing their feet in Spirit led prayer. Time is often reserved for those on the call to ask questions. We believe this helps to gain a better understanding of the situation that persecuted Christians endure in their specific nations. Q&A also helps us to focus our prayers based on their current needs.

Persecution Watch also hosts callers who want to pray united from other nations. If your heart is perplexed by the sufferings of our persecuted brothers and sisters, you no longer need to pray alone. We welcome all who desire to pray for the persecuted church and consider it a joy to pray together with you. If you’re new to the call and can’t find your voice, listen in and pray silently or on mute. We are grateful and thank the Lord for bringing us all together to pray in agreement for our persecuted family in Christ. We can all be prayer warriors on this call!
