This month we are focussing on praying for the Muslim peoples in East and Southeast Asia who are suffering and for the Christians who seek to bless them.
The King will reply, “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”
– Matthew 25:40
- Sadly, suicide rates among Muslims in some countries in Southeast Asia are on the rise, especially among youth. Pray for the Lord to provide opportunities for followers of Jesus in the region to be able to come alongside these young people and help them.
- Some Muslims in Southeast Asia believe people born with disabilities/special needs are cursed by Allah. Pray for followers of Jesus who live and work amongst them to show them love and compassion because they see their true value to God.
- Give thanks for development projects run by followers of Jesus that are reaching overlooked poorer communities in Southeast Asia to bring blessing and relief to the people they serve.
- Pray for governments in Southeast Asia to seek a sustainable solution for persecuted Muslim peoples to be able to return to their homelands as citizens with full rights. Pray for Christians to support their efforts by praying for those who are being persecuted, and those who have authority to change their situation.
