PRAYER REQUESTS FOR
March 28, 2025
Please pray for...
…the world’s 2 billion Muslims—who will complete their Ramadan fasting month on March 29. The occasion is celebrated with a religious holiday called Eid al-Fitr (Breaking of the Fast).
…Hamzeh, a Syrian convert from Islam who now lives in Jordan. Hamzeh struggled against unclean spirits and demonic oppression. Upon being anointed with oil and prayed for in the name of Jesus, Hamzeh was set free and is now steadfast in his commitment to follow Christ.
…Pastor Muhammad in Tyre, Lebanon. In the midst of chaos, the church is reaching larger numbers of people than ever before. Five new converts were recently baptized in water.
PRAY FOR MUSLIMS DURING RAMADAN
At sundown on Sunday, March 30 (dates vary by country), the Ramadan month of fasting ends, and Muslims around the world will celebrate Eid al Fitr, the Festival of Breaking the Fast. Greeting one another with “Eid Mubarak” (Blessed Feast), people meet in the morning for Eid prayers, thanking Allah for strength to complete the fast and for the Koran, and asking for his blessing and mercy. All who can are expected to give alms so that the needy can participate. People wear their finest clothes, enjoy a large meal and sweets, give gifts, and visit relatives, and some visit the tombs of deceased loved ones. Let’s pray
-
that even as they celebrate, many Muslims would sense the futility of their efforts to gain Allah’s favor and eternal life and begin to seek a source of peace and joy that will last;
-
that as they return to routine life, they would continue to reflect on their spiritual state, and that the Holy Spirit would reveal Jesus to them;
-
that many would observe in Christians around them the love and peace they crave and seek to know more.
The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
James 5:16

PRAY FOR BELIEVERS
IN NIGER
A worker in the western part of this Sahelian nation asks for prayer for his town. The area has many churches and has been “a haven of peace,” he says, taking in refugees fleeing terrorist attacks in other parts of Niger. Recently the town has been threatened by terrorists, and some residents are escaping to other cities. “The Church here has already been persecuted for many years.
Many of our brothers and sisters are living in fear, yet are still hopeful that the situation can change. May the Lord come to the aid of this innocent, suffering population.” Pray that the Lord would fill His people with His peace, strength, and wisdom, and give them opportunities to share the peace and hope of the gospel with their Muslim neighbors.
PRAISE REPORT FROM LIBERIA
A few weeks ago we prayed for “A,” a young lady who accepted the Lord at her Christian university and is the only believer in her Muslim family. Her mother was seriously ill, the father had left his family of six children, finances were short, and an uncle was threatening “A” that she would be destitute if she did not marry a certain rich Muslim man. Thank you for praying! Her mother has totally recovered. “A” has received help to return to school, and her pastor reports that she is faithfully attending church and “is smiling a lot these days.”
Please continue to pray
-
“that her commitment to the Lord will last”;
-
that God would meet the family’s ongoing financial needs, and that they may acknowledge His faithfulness and love for them;
-
that the Spirit would work in the heart of each family member—including this uncle—to draw them to Jesus.
"Not by might; not by power, but by My Spirit," says the Lord of Hosts.
Zech. 4:6
