This year, Ramadan begins on February 18th which is Ash Wednesday and ends March 20th – just before Palm Sunday. My habit over the last 10 years is to pray specifically for the Muslim world during Ramadan at the 5 obligatory prayer times – each prayer time having its own focus (the persecuted church, evangelistic efforts by missionaries and Arab Christians, access to the Bible, encounters with Christ). These times are different based on location and time of sunrise and change every day with the changing time of sunrise. For simplicity I use set prayer times. On a couple of occasions, I did use a Ramadan prayer reminder app to pray the exact times.
• 6:15 am Christians in Muslim countries to grow in faith and knowledge of God and share the love of Jesus with their community
• 1:00 pm Muslim students in western countries to encounter Christians who will introduce them to Jesus
• 4:30 pm The Muslim diaspora and refugees to hear the gospel and take it back to their homeland
• 6:30 pm Muslims to have encounters with Jesus and a desire to know Him through His Word
• 7:45 pm Protection for the Persecuted Church and missions efforts and their continued presence and influence in Muslim communities
Pray for the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth about Jesus and the Bible.
Ask God to give bold testimony to Muslims who have found Christ.
Pray for Increased Spiritual Awareness and Openness to the Gospel
Pray for Muslims to Gain Access to the Gospel
Pray for Muslims Experiencing Crisis
Each Muslim would meet someone who loves Jesus
They would have encounters with Jesus.
Pray for the protection of those who decide to follow Jesus.
Pray for an Islamic faith community near you.
