PRAYER REQUESTS FOR
April 26, 2024
Please pray for...
...discipleship opportunities for Adnan, a Lebanese Muslim who read about Jesus (Isa) in the Quran. Wanting further truth about Jesus, Adnan contacted a Christian pastor who led him to Christ. After his conversion, Adnan says, “It’s the first time in my life I have felt peace.”
…spiritual growth for Malik, a former Muslim. As a successful aircraft mechanic in the Arab Gulf, Malik’s expertise often required him to travel. While in the United States, he was invited to church and heard the gospel for the first time. He says, “I met the extraordinary Christ.”
…the success of a new church in Cyprus. The pastor says, “This is a safe haven for refugees from the surrounding Middle East region. Most of these refugees are former Muslims. With the removal of the obstacles they faced in their home countries, many are choosing Christ.”

2024 World Watch List: Syria (12/50)*
The city of Damascus, Syria’s capital, has been inhabited since the third millennium B.C. Here a newly converted Paul preached the gospel. Here the first Islamic caliphate was established in the year 661. Over the years, Muslim rulers subjugated, drove out, and dominated the Christian majority. Today 89% of Syria’s 23 million people are Muslims, while the estimated number of Christians ranges from 2.8 to 5.4% of the population. Most of these belong to traditional churches; the few evangelical believers (estimated at 0.17%), are foreigners or converts from Islam. Christians in general are targets of Islamic extremists, and those who have left Islam and/or are part of non-traditional (evangelical, Pentecostal) churches face oppression from the government and from family.
Let’s pray for Syria.
-
Civil war here is now in its 14th year, and Syrians are war-weary. Most Christians have fled, but some have stayed to minister to their countrymen. Pray God would use His people to bring many into the Kingdom.
-
The earthquake that rocked Turkey and northern Syria in February 2023 left some 3.5 million people in Syria alone destitute and traumatized. Pray for strength and resources for churches and believers who continue to care for victims, and that through their witness many would find Jesus and the total healing and life He gives.
-
Pray for the leaders and the various actors in the political/religious civil war, that the Holy Spirit would move in their lives and hearts, reveal Jesus to them, and draw them back to the Father.
Additional Prayer
Requests
PRAY FOR BURKINA FASO
A church leader shares several prayer requests concerning a city and area in central Burkina Faso, a Sahelian nation where Islamic extremists now control at least 40% of the land:
-
Many Assemblies of God (and other) churches in the area had to close due to jihadist activity. The situation is calmer, but many churches lack the resources to reopen. Pray that the Lord would provide the needed materials and personnel to relaunch these works.
-
The Bible school in the area has had to meet in a safer location over the past few years, but is now is planning to return to its campus. Pray for the resources needed to make the needed repairs so the campus can reopen.
-
Pray for pastors and workers who have lost their livelihoods. May their stories of miraculous provision bring glory to God and draw many to Him.
Over the past few years, many Muslims fled jihadists in the north and found refuge in this area. Through the love and witness of believers, many found their Savior as well! Some are returning home; pray that they will stand firm in the faith and share the Good News with others in their villages.
SENSITIVE COUNTRY
A worker in a Muslim-majority nation shares several requests:
-
Pray that authorities would allow an international fellowship to purchase the building where they are currently renting space, allowing them greater flexibility for activities and ministry.
-
Pray that God would open the door for a certain Arabic-speaking pastor from another country to come work with this fellowship and to begin a house church.
-
While Christian expatriates in this nation are allowed to meet and worship, citizens are forbidden to join them. Recently, however, two locals attended a meeting, were saved, and are now being discipled. Pray for their protection, spiritual growth, and witness to others—and that the Spirit would draw others in to hear!
"Our prayers may be awkward. Our attempts may be feeble. But since the power of prayer is in the one who hears it and not in the one who says it, our prayers do make a difference."
