30-Days of Prayer for the Muslim World Ramadan 2009 / 1430: August 22 - September 20
Sudan, The Guhayna People
Day 03, For Monday 24 August, Ramadan 2009. "Loving Muslims Through Prayer"
The 1.3 million Guhayna are a largely nomadic people living in Central Sudan. Not much is known about this people group other than that they are Sudanese Arabs who trace their heritage to the Bedouin who wandered the deserts of Saudi Arabia centuries ago.
The Guhayna embrace rigid codes of honour, loyalty and hospitality, the strong role of men in society, the value of children, subservience of women and the five pillars of Islam. To confess Jesus as Lord is not well accepted and has serious consequences. Pray that fear of persecution from Islamic relatives will not hinder the Guhayna as they consider the Gospel. No one is actively reaching this people group.
Prayer Starters:
* Pray for missionaries and funds so the Guhayna can hear about Jesus.
* The Guhayna, like many Muslims, do not understand the term "Son of God." May God bring real breakthroughs in this area of Muslim misunderstanding. This subject is one of the most significant hindrances for Muslims coming to Christ. They need revelation.
* Scriptures to meditate on and proclaim in prayer: 2 Peter 1:16-18, 2 Samuel 7:12-14, John 1:49, 11:27, 20:31 and Romans 1:1-5, Psalm 2:7, Acts 13:33, Hebrews 1:5
