The annual worldwide call to prayer began in 1993. Though the issues faced by the Muslim world change from year to year, the aim of the 30 Days of Prayer for the Muslim World Prayer Guide remains to encourage, educate and enable. Through prayer, we engage in an act of love for Muslim people around the world—sharing their burdens, understanding their concerns and petitioning God to help them. In this way, we fulfill the command of Jesus to love our neighbors.
We are in the midst of the greatest turning of Muslims to Christ in 14 centuries of Muslim-Christian interaction. More than 80% of all the Muslim movements to Christ in history have occurred in the past two to three decades, a time period that coincides with the modern prayer movement for Muslims. At the heart of this modern prayer movement is ‘30 Days of Prayer for the Muslim World.’ Come, join us, and be a part of shaping salvation history — David Garrison, author of A Wind in the House of Islam
As war and terrorism have swept across the Muslim world, millions of Muslims have been displaced, fleeing to new places for safety or for the hope of a better life. These displacements provide new opportunities for Muslims to encounter the living Christ. Even for those who are not forced to flee, such tragic situations prompt soul searching, so some of your prayers will be directed to Muslims whose faith journey is taking them closer to Jesus. As always, we pray for those thousands who have yet to hear of Him.
30 Days International began with a group of people who felt compelled to change the way they understood the Muslim world and to see them in the same way God does—as unique individuals, families and tribes. Readers are encouraged to pray for that same inspiration and let God direct their prayers with His loving knowledge of the Muslim world.
