30-Days of Prayer for the Muslim World
The Cham people are an important ethnic minority in Cambodia. They are mainly rice farmers but also grow cotton, maize, tobacco, castor-oil plants, manioc, peanuts, ferns, beans, and vegetables. Some Cham are involved in animal domestication, hunting, and fishing. There are some Cham fishermen in the villages along the banks of the Mekong and its tributaries. Some are also cattle traders and butchers.
The Da'wa is a missionary movement from a variety of Islamic countries outside of Cambodia. Visiting groups of Da'wa missionaries can be seen in Cham villages of Cambodia traveling from village to village, spreading their beliefs, and preaching in village mosques, where they live during their stay. The Wahhabiyya is another missionary movement similar to the Da'wa; they also preach a more fundamentalist type of Islam.
Only a few dozen Cham have been reached with the gospel. There are no known churches and no Bible in the Cham language.
* May God open the eyes of the Cham to see the truth so that they will come to know Jesus as their Savior and Lord.
* Pray to the Lord of the harvest to send more workers to reach the Cham for Christ.
* Pray for safety and protection for those already working among the Cham.
* Pray for the spiritual growth in grace and knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ for Cham believers.
