Economically marginalized Muslims in Gujarat State
For Tuesday 30 September, Ramadan 2008. "Loving Muslims Through Prayer"More than one million economically marginalised Muslims live in the city. Often jobless or underemployed and unable to return to their villages, many live on by sheer force of will. They survive in the ghettos and slums and even the progressive Muslim elite now feel the segregation and the economic disparities with the Hindus. This profound human suffering does not have easy solutions.
As believers in Jesus, we acknowledge that the greatest need of the Muslims is Christ. Yet an extremely small amount of evangelistic work in Gujarat focuses on the unreached Muslim peoples of Ahmedabad which include the: Shaikh, Bohra, Memon, Khoja, Pathan and the Sayyid. Most local followers of Jesus openly acknowledge they are afraid to reach out into the Muslim community. Imagine over one million people in Ahmedabad who have practically no Gospel witness. Pray for labourers to bring the Gospel of hope to the Muslims of Gujarat.

Prayer Starters:
- Pray that Muslims will realise their inability to meet the demands of God’s perfect law.
- May the true fear of God come upon the Muslims (Proverbs 1:7).
- Ask God to increasingly establish faithful followers of Jesus among the Muslims of Gujarat State so they might be examples of godliness and bearers of hope in difficult situations..
