30-Days of Prayer for the Muslim World Ramadan 2007 / 1428: September 13 - October 12
- the Lion City
For Sunday, 30 September, Ramadan 2007. "Loving Muslims Through Prayer"
(Note - we send Saturday and Sunday e-mails in advance for those working in offices.)
The city has a fascinating mix of cultures. Singapore is known as the largest Chinese city outside of China.
In Singapore, there are two major groups of Muslim peoples - those of Malay origin and those of Indian origin. According to the year 2000 census, there are about 315,000 Malay Muslims and some 46,000 Indian Muslims (over 15 years) in addition to Pakistanis and Arabs and others. In the region being Malay is pretty much synonymous with being Muslim. Happily now there are close to 1,000 Malays who profess Christ.
Recently a Christian had the opportunity to pray for a Malay Muslim and also share the Gospel with him. He was quite open to listen but stopped short of making a decision for Christ. This is characteristic of the young Muslims in this nation. They tend to be a little less traditional and a little more open. A Malay Christian once made the comment that, in Singapore, the Muslims could easily become an unreachable people group (through restrictions and their own indecision).

Please pray with us for Singapore:
* Pray that God will give local Christians opportunities, training and the ability to proclaim Christ to the Malay, Indian, Pakistani and other communities in an appropriate way (Isaiah 60:1-3).
* Pray that Christians will be able to forge relationships with Muslims and open the way for them to hear the good news (Romans 10:14).
* Pray that believers involved in business will be able to share Christ with their Muslim counterparts (Psalm 49:6-8).
