Welcome to the 2007 Event

Welcome to the 2007 30-Days Prayer Event
This years theme is "Loving Muslims Through Prayer".

Dear praying friends:

This call to prayer for Muslims originally came during a meeting of several Christian leaders in the Middle East in 1992. These men and women strongly sensed God’s desire to call as many Christians as possible to pray for the Muslim world. The prayer movement was planned to coincide with the Islamic month of Ramadan.

The dates for Ramadan are established according to the Islamic lunar calendar. In 2007, Ramadan begins approximately on September 13th and ends on October 12th, although this may vary from country to country. The fasting period begins and ends with the sighting of the crescent moon.

It is intended that “30 Days” coincide with the month of Ramadan for at least two reasons: (1) as a means for Christians to identify themselves with Muslims during a fixed period of the year, (2) to call upon God’s sovereign intervention in the lives of Muslims during a time of the year when they are particularly religious.

While being opposed to Islam, “30 Days” emphasizes God’s love for Muslims. The movement has always tried to cultivate a spirit of humility, love, respect and service toward Muslims.

The goal of this prayer guide is to inspire and guide each reader as he or she intercedes for the Muslim world. It is far from being completely informative about the Muslim world. However, each article will give you some ideas about the needs of Muslims. God is able to reach Muslims. He wants many of them to come to know Him.

Because of the changing nature of the Islamic year the 2007 booklet is actually our 16th edition (there have been 16 Islamic lunar years since the beginning of “30 Days” in March 1993. This is the year 1428 of the Muslim lunar calendar).

You are welcome and encouraged to share these posts with others.

Blessings, Ron and the Editorial Staff
