30-Days of Prayer for the Muslim World Ramadan 2007 / 1428: September 13 - October 12
Several years ago God gave a group of Chittagonian believers a vision for reaching their own people. With help from some other groups, they were able to translate the Jesus Film into their language. The response to this ministry tool has been very positive. After seeing the film for the first time, one Chittagonian man said, “Jesus must be our prophet because he speaks our language.”
Today the Chittagonian people are at a crossroads spiritually. Living in the poorest area of one of the poorest nations on earth, they have little opportunity for advancement and education. Conservative Muslim groups have taken advantage of this situation, building many Muslim schools for the young people. Here they learn to read and write and to recite the Qu’ran. In some cases they are also taught fundamentalist Muslim doctrine. The past decade has seen a growth in conservative Islamic politics as well.

Prayer Guide for the Chittagonian people
* The next few years are crucial to seeing a strong Christian witness established among these people.
* Pray for workers who are committed to reaching this group. Christians will need to be committed to learning this unwritten language.
* Pray for the tiny group of Chittagonian believers as they bravely reach out with very limited resources. They work hard to build relationships of trust. One Christian worker says that up until now it has usually taken an average of six years for people to become believers after their first contact with the Gospel.
* Pray for the establishment of a Chittagonian Prayer Network among believers world-wide. There is a need for constant prayer for this large, but long-neglected people group.
