As the month of Ramadan comes to a close, we can’t thank you enough for your faithfulness in praying for our Muslim neighbors around the world daily. We have the privilege to see continually that God is at work in the Muslim world today. His Spirit is drawing countless thousands of Muslims to new life in Jesus. But how can we continue to participate in what God is doing? Here are five steps we can take:

(1) Pray for Muslims
A Muslim-background believer in North Africa was asked, “Why do you think so many of your people are now having dreams and visions of Christ?” Her response: “I believe the prayers of people around the world have been ascending to the heavens, where they have accumulated like great monsoon clouds. Today, they are raining down upon my people miracles of grace and salvation.”

(2) Support outreach and ministries to Muslims
Muslims do not come to faith in Jesus just because of a dream or vision. As it is written, “How can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard?” (Romans 10:14) Communicating the gospel to Muslims is our job. Today, there are many effective ministries to Muslims, but these require our prayerful support. We must contribute to effective outreach to Muslims.

(3) Go to Muslims
“And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?” (Romans 10:14) Some who are praying through this 30 Days Prayer Guide are being called to take the gospel to Muslims. Unless we overcome fear and hatred, ignorance and apathy, we will be only spectators in God’s great redemption story among Muslims.

(4) Minister to Muslims in your own community
Many Muslims have moved to other nations, often to flee terrors in the House of Islam or to seek a better hope for their children. How will you view Muslim immigrants to your nation? With prejudice and avoidance or as an unparalleled opportunity to share with them the love and grace of Jesus Christ?

(5) Share the gospel with Muslims
There are many ways to communicate the love and gospel of Jesus Christ effectively with Muslims. When we join in these, we catch the Wind of the Spirit that is blowing through the House of Islam and are carried along with it.

How can we pray?
Pray for Muslims in your own community and around the world whenever they are in the news.

Pray for missionaries and Muslim background believers who are taking the gospel deep into the House of Islam.

Pray that God would raise up more witnesses to Muslims, and ask God what He would have you do to minister to Muslims and share your faith with them.
