Ramadan 3

September 21, 2007 To The Ends of The Earth

Verse of the Week
And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. (Mat 21:22)

Ramadan Challenge Reminder
Please continue praying for Muslims during Ramadan. I've included our Ramadan prayer focus at the end of this email. Let's not let up! Thanks for praying!

Muslim Commitment
One thing that has always impressed me about Islam is that Muslims take memorizing the Quran so seriously (in spite of the fact that it's often memorized in Arabic, which many of them do not speak). In fact, children as young as five years old and men and women as old as 50 years memorize the whole Quran as part of their love and devotion to the Book of Allah. How is our Scripture memorization? As we pray for Muslims during Ramadan, may we allow God to challenge our hearts to take the true Word of God more seriously.

**Special Prayer Request**
Today (September 21, 2007 ) there is an Outreach Committee meeting in Chicago. This is a committee commissioned by the Apostolic Christian Mission Committee to work on the furthering of missions and outreach in the Apostolic Christian Church. Those involved truly are seeking the Holy Spirit's leading. Please pray for the LORD's presence to be felt at this meeting. For those who are able, consider fasting from 1 meal today in order to seek God's will for this important effort.

Challenge
Please pray for Muslims each time you pray for a meal from September 13 until October 12. Pray for 3 quick things:

1. God would reach Muslims with the Gospel.
2. God would raise-up more pray-ers for Muslims.
3. Ask how would God like to use you to help reach Muslims?
