Jumaa Prayer

for the Muslims of Africa and beyond

March 6, 2015

West Africa Advanced School of Theology

Intercede with Us for the Muslim World!

The Lordgives food to the hungry, the Lord sets prisoners free the Lord opens the eyes of the blind the Lord lifts up
those who are bowed down (Ps 146:6- 8, Sharif Bible).
When people become disillusioned, they search for alternatives. Many young Muslims are disappointed with the strict and
graceless system they live under. Jesus and His Church have what they are seeking! This week, let's pray for those who are
searching, and for ourselves as a Body, that we may respond with love and wisdom to bring them to Jesus.

Today's Prayer Requests: From Students, Alumni, and Missionaries

NIGER: Continue to pray for the Assemblies of God of Niger as they restore their churches after the attacks by
Islamic militants in January. When the 16 AG churches were burned, nearly all the pastors were attending an Acts 1:8
Conference, where they sought the Holy Spirit, interceded for the lost, and were to set church-planting and missions
goals for the Decade of Pentecost. Please pray for the leaders of the AG-Niger as they set these goals, rebuild, and
reach out in the power of the Spirit!
TOGO: A student asks us to pray concerning the threat of Nigerian-based Islamic militant group Boko Haram. The
group threatens and attacks those who join forces against them. After recent attacks in Niger, the presidents of both
Togo and Benin visited the president of Niger to express their solidarity. Pray therefore that this visit will not be used
as a pretext of a threat by Boko Haram and that they will not establish themselves on Togolese soil. May the Lord
preserve us from this group and their threats. Continue to pray also that the Lord would reveal himself to these
militants.

From Global Initiative*

Please pray for church planting efforts in the tension-filled Peshawar area of Pakistan. The AG church in Peshawar
celebrated its 25th anniversary in 2014, with government officials attending. Please pray that, as they focus on their
vision for growth, the Lord will bless them, protect them, and use them to touch many in their community.

For Muslim Women**

Pray for God's anointing and creativity for a team that is developing a curriculum for Christian children designed to
teach them how to share Jesus with their Muslim friends.
