The prayer calendar. |
Open Doors Australia is encouraging Christians to pray for Muslims as they fast during the month of Ramadan as well as for Christians living in Muslim majority nations.
The organisation – which supports the persecuted church around the world – has produced a calendar, which runs from 16th June to 17th July, to aid Christians in their praying over the period.
Each day focuses briefly on a different country and features a short sample prayer.
"As Muslims all around the world observe Ramadan, let us pray that the Christians living in these countries would be strengthened and encouraged," the organisation says on the calendar.
"Let us also thank God for bringing so many Muslims to Christ, and pray that during Ramadan this year, many more would find Jesus."
It’s believed to be about the 10th year that the organisation has produced a prayer resource to specifically coincide with Ramadan.
The prayer guide can be downloaded for free from www.opendoors.org.au.
