Christians in majority-Muslim nations face opposition from Muslim family members or even from militant Islamist groups. Here are seven ways to pray for believers facing Islamic extremists:
- Pray that they will have opportunities to advance God’s kingdom through their faithful witness and that many Muslims will come to know Jesus Christ as Lord.
- Pray for their wisdom and boldness as they share the gospel with Muslims and disciple new followers of Christ.
- Pray that they will have access to their own copy of God’s Word.
- Pray for their spiritual growth as they meet with other believers for fellowship and discipleship.
- Pray for their perseverance amid threats and opposition from Islamic extremists, hostile governments, communities or their own families.
- Pray that their faith will be strengthened through persecution.
- Pray that our sisters and brothers in Christ will know they are not alone and will sense God’s presence as we pray for them.
