East and Southeast Asia’s Muslims – October 2026

This month we seek to bless Muslims in East and Southeast Asia by praying for small business owners. As rapid development brings both opportunities and challenges along the Silk Road regions of East Asia, let us pray for Muslim business owners and consider how Christians may be used by God to encourage fair opportunities, responsible enterprise, and secure livelihoods for their families. In East Asia, Muslim businesses are often small and economically precarious. Pray for their owners to use their skills to provide for their families and contribute to their wider communities. Give thanks for their abilities, and pray God... Read more

Asia’s Muslims – September 2026

This month, we are thinking about hospitality. For many Muslims along the Silk Road and in Southeast Asia, sacrificial hospitality is an important value; they welcome strangers to their table with open arms and will often give more than they can afford. As we reflect on this, we also look to the example of Jesus, who welcomed others with compassion and used generous hospitality to bless those around him. Lord, thank you that your generosity is reflected in the generous hospitality shared by Silk Road Muslim communities. Pray that Christians who live alongside the Muslims of the Silk Road will...

Pray that as East Asian Muslims read verses like this one, they will want to learn more about Jesus. In Revelation, the Bible reveals that in the new creation, all cultures and nations will be there.
