Jumaa Prayer

for the Muslims of Africa and beyond

August 28, 2015

West Africa Advanced School of Theology

Intercede with Us for the Muslim World!

And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we
are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life (1 John 5:20).
Let's pray this week that Muslims will likewise come to this understanding, serve the true God, and enjoy eternal life!

Today's Prayer Requests: From Students, Alumni, and Missionaries

BURKINA FASO: Please pray for an alumnus who has opened a new church in a heavily Muslim town. He explains,
After each campaign we register many conversions. Unfortunately, the following Sunday, no new converts come to
church. It's been this way for a year. Pray with me that this situation will improve. He adds that children will come,
but often parents will prevent them.
TOGO: Continue to intercede for the evangelistic team reaching out to scores of villages in a Muslim area. A medical
team offers consultations in the morning, and many attend the evening films and services. At least three new churches
have been planted thus far. Pray for these new churches and new believers. Pray for continued protection over the
team and for the Spirit's guidance each new day and in each new place.

In the News
New visa regulations in a sensitive country have affected several workers who need to renew their visas. Pray that the
Lord will intervene and give them miraculous favor so they may continue to serve.

From Global Initiative*

Please pray for outreaches to diaspora Muslims in the Netherlands. One million of the Netherlands' 16.8 million are
Muslims, served by 400 mosques. Islam is the second-largest religion in this very secular society. Most immigrants
come from Turkey and Morocco. Tension concerning immigrants is growing. Pray that church leaders and believers
would sense God's call to reach out to these people in friendship and with His message of love.

For Muslim Women**

Pray that B.s Muslim friends will be drawn to the Message she proclaims through her deeds and her words.
