PRAYER REQUESTS FOR
DECEMBER 20, 2024
Please pray for...
…Bible distribution among the 345,000 Muslims in the Yangon Area of Myanmar. Chesa, a recent convert from Islam, says, “I am 46 and I had never held a Bible. It is now my treasure.”
…the 120,000 Christian Armenians who were forced from their homes in Nagorno-Karabakh by the Muslim Azerbaijani government and had to flee to Armenia proper. A year later, most are living in poverty and struggling to find jobs.
…the new government in Mozambique. Since 2017, Muslim terrorists have killed at least 6,000 people, mostly Christians. Pray that the new government will deal effectively with this crisis.
Pray for Muslims at Christmastime
Christmastime is here: a celebration of the earthly birth of Jesus, our Savior and Lord—and a stumbling block to many. Islam recognizes Jesus as a great prophet, but not as God Incarnate come to offer restoration and eternal life to fallen Man. According to Islam, Christians believe that Jesus is God’s physical son, born of a relationship with a woman—an abominable thought! As much of the world focuses on Jesus this coming week, let’s pray
-
that the Holy Spirit would use dreams and supernatural encounters with Jesus to show Muslims the Truth of who He is;
-
for God-arranged opportunities for believers to share the Christmas story, in its simplicity and majesty, with Muslim seekers, and for divine wisdom to respond to their questions;
-
that, even in areas where Christmas is not acknowledged, people would observe through various media this celebration and sense a desire to know more about this Jesus who means so much to so many.

Requests
PRAY FOR THE CHURCH IN TOGO
Workers are trying to establish a much-needed health center in a community in a strongly Muslim area, but local authorities are refusing to allow them to obtain land. Please pray that the Lord would move in their hearts to provide the land, and use this project as a great testimony of God’s love and faithfulness.
PRAY FOR NIGER
Some 96% of the people in this Sahelian nation follow Islam. Since 2015, Niger has been a hotspot of jihadist activity, as four major Islamist groups seek to gain power. In July 2023 a military junta took control of the government. Niger has been and remains a secular state and allows freedom of religion. While large open-air events are restricted for security reasons, churches and ministries can operate openly. However, Muslims who turn to Jesus face persecution from other quarters. Let’s pray for these brothers and sisters, and for those who oppose the gospel.
-
Pray for those persecuted by family. A church leader says, “We continue to preach the gospel publicly and to witness individually. Some accept the gospel, but persecution comes quickly and they abandon the faith.” May the Lord help them to stand firm and to show His love, and use them to bring family members to faith in Him.
-
Pray for local authorities, that they would show favor to God’s work. In some places, explains this leader, traditional chiefs or mayors oppose the purchase of land for churches or other activities.
-
Pray for national authorities. Pray that those in power would continue to uphold the right of people to worship the True God, not bending to any popular demands to oppress them. Pray that the Holy Spirit would reveal Jesus to these leaders.
-
Pray for the salvation of jihadists. In some areas, jihadists impose bans on churches and on the spread of the gospel. Pray that they would have a personal encounter with the One who created and loves them.
"Not by might; not by power, but by My Spirit," says the Lord of Hosts.
