Christians pray during Ramadan for Muslims

Action "30 Days of Prayer for the Muslim World" starts July 9 Prayer booklets in 37 languages The "30 Days of Prayer for the Muslim World" action starts again from July 9 - August 7, 2013. This call to prayer coincides with the Muslim Fasting month of Ramadan and highlights Muslim peoples across the whole world. World-wide, Muslims live in difficult social, economic and political situations. Often they don't have education, health or even clean water resources, things that we often take for granted. Unfortunately they also don't have the freedom of religion nor the opportunity to even hear about the Good News of Christ. The prayer booklet highlights many of the aspects of Muslim life and gives concrete prayer topics from all the corners of the world. It unites Christians, helps them overcome fears of Muslim peoples and encourages faith, hope and love. Coinciding with Ramadan since 1993, the "30-Days of Prayer for the Muslim World" booklet is distributed to many thousands of Christians from 37 national offices. In Germany, 70,000 booklets are printed and distributed to churches. Mission organizations tell the public about the resource and bookshops such as in the USA sell and ship globally. The English booklet and links to other languages are available on the www.30-days.net website along with promotional material and the articles posted daily during Ramadan. This press release is also available in German. Supported by the World Evangelical Alliance (WEA) and the European Evangelical Alliance (EEA). ---------- 30-Days of Prayer for the Muslim World | www.30-days.net | facebook | twitter

Somalia Story

We often hear the bad news about Somalia ... famine, war, pirates, corruption, hatred, persecution and on and on it goes. Certainly Somalia has many problems and those we cannot deny. In fact, an interesting fact about Somalia is this: "To be Somali is to be Muslim". And a famous Somali Proverb goes like this: I and Somalia against the world. I and my clan against Somalia. I and my family against the clan. I and my brother against the family. I against my brother. What a way to live!?! However, the good news is that God is reaching and touching lives in Somalia. Here is a great testimony and church resources for praying and helping Somalia:: http://somalistory.com Here is a video from their site (via YouTube).
