- I appreciate all the work put into the 30 Days Muslim Prayer Focus! I've
been following it for years now....the content is incredible and it's so neat
to join with others during that time. Just in case it's worth noting, now that
I'm at the border line for reading glasses, this year's colored ink made it
difficult to read. Thanks so much for the research and work done in layout,
the intro to the world areas was very helpful with the maps to follow, I was
impressed.
Flo (2005)
- Thank you so much. I have used the prayer guides for many years,
and this year's version is far and away the best I've seen. The personal
glimpses and the descriptive text lead us into a more clearly directive
prayer... The maps and other illustrations were great, and the 'Focus' pages
gave good overviews. I shall keep it as a prayer reference. Keep up the good
work.
Evelyn G., Lake City, MN (2005)
- The first time I read the Ramadan prayer guide was in
1993. It changed my heart and prayer life. I'm eager to pray for the Muslims
again...for them to truly know God's love through Jesus. This is one anointed
booklet. Thank you for making it available!.
Mary in Vancouver (2004)

Thank you for your faithful
publication of the 30 Days Prayer Guide, we are certainly seeing a difference
in North Africa with more fruit than ever before which really began after the
prayer focus was instituted! TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
Bob Knapp, Eastview Christian Church (2005)
- I believe that someday soon we're going to see a great turning to Christ
in the Muslim world. The special prayer focus is important. Think back to the
mention of Herat, Afghanistan, the Kurds in Iraq, the Uighur people, and
others and look at how much has changed in those areas since they were
mentioned for prayer. At the time they were mentioned it seemed impossible to
reach them, now there's adequate opportunity. May God continue to give special
leading to those who select items to include in the Prayer Guide!
L. Williams (SIM missionary in Africa) 2005
- We all recognize the need to pray. We've all been challenged to pray for
the world. The hard thing is knowing how to do that well. The 30 Days Muslim
Prayer Focus is the kind of tool that enables effective prayer.
We at the U.S. Center for World Mission, Mission Frontiers magazine, and
William Carey Library publisher don't want to fill your mailbox with more good
things to do, we know you are likely very busy, BUT, we do want to encourage
you to join in with the thousands-if not millions-who will be praying this
fall for the Muslim world. This year's events from the war in Iraq to the
release of the film, The Passion, have continued to bring focus on this part
of the world. Let's join together and go before our Lord for the advance of
His purposes in all the earth.
Greg H. Parsons, General Director U.S. Center for World Mission (2004)
- "With great disappointment I turned to the last page in my booklet '30
Days Muslim Prayer Focus' which I faithfully prayed through during the month
of Ramadan. Now what do I do? My whole perception of the Muslim people has
changed. I used to have a vague perception of them as being extreme and
scary--and far away, not my concern. After praying for them for 30 days I find
myself much better educated about their beliefs and culture, AND, I have a
heavy, compassionate burden to see them come to the truth in Christ,
especially the women and children.
I have a feeling God is doing something important in my
heart. My husband is currently enlisted in the U.S. Army. learning the
intricacies of satellite communications. When his enlistment is up in two
years, he will be able to work anywhere in the world. Perhaps God is calling
us to a country where Christians cannot easily go... All this from your
brochure which someone handed to me in church one Sunday!
I need to continue praying daily for these people. Please
send me any prayer calendars or booklets that you have available (for ANY
foreign people groups). Of course, I want to be included next year! I don't
want to miss out on the serious and joyful responsibility of interceding for
such an important worldwide need. In the meantime, I will go back to page one
and start over in the booklet that I have here. Your ministry is awesome."
Heidi L., PA
- "The "30 Days of Prayer For the Muslim
World" booklet is a tremendous resource for
individuals, Bible study groups, families, churches,
etc. The children's version is especially great for
Christian schools, Sunday school classes, and young
family members. As a missions pastor, I have used this
resource in all the above settings and have seen it be a
wonderful tool for the mobilization of prayer for the
Muslim world. We purchased a number of copies to
distribute throughout our church and school. It is put
together with thought and prayer, and done with
excellence as well. I highly recommend this resource and
will be ordering it each year it comes out."
Lincoln Murdoch, formerly, pastor of Trinity Church (Omaha, NE)
now with Antioch Ministries in Phoenix
- "What a joy to join with thousands around the
globe in prayer for the millions of Muslims for whom
Christ died. I am grateful for your dedicated and
anointed efforts in producing the materials and
organizing this special focus."
Barbara Kline, HCJB World Radio Prayer Coordinator
(Colorado Springs, CO)
- "Our entire Sunday School Class has realized what a
tremendous responsibility we have in praying for the
Muslim people. We were not aware of the rapid growth
among them."
- "I very much enjoyed using your 30 Days Muslim Prayer Focus book during
the month of Ramadan. It was a wonderful addition to my quiet times, and I
learned so much from it. Please keep me informed about similar items, such as
the Hindu Prayer Focus booklet."
Lisa Chapman
- "I realized that there is hope in reaching the
seemingly unreachable, thanks! I hope to participate
next year. I was shocked to know how little we know
about the Muslim faith."
- "Thanks for such an excellent guide to pray for
Muslims. We used it at our church, and found a number of
people very faithful in prayer and fasting. Our hearts
have been changed."
- "We have a Muslim student living with us. I was able to
share more insightfully with him and pray more
effectively for him."
- "As a 60 year old student at Okla. St. U. I come in
contact with Muslim students every day. My attitude
toward them has changed significantly."
- "I had limited contact with Arab people and viewed them
primarily as enemies of Israel. This has reminded me of
the need to pray for both Jewish and Muslim people, no
matter what my or their political philosophies are."
- "The most condensed, educational, and broadening
instrument to us "general people" I have ever
seen!"
- "This has really opened my eyes to the Muslim world.
The guide is on our breakfast table; we remember every
day to pray for Muslims. It has been the most
interesting prayer program we have ever done."
