Selected QUOTES from Participants in the annual

30 Days Muslim Prayer Focus

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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!.

  • 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."

  • "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."
