It is not our intention with this prayer focus to
disparage Islam or Muslim sentiments in any way. We
recognize that humans and the Muslim world are far too complex to simply or easily condense
or explain with a mere
booklet.
At the same time, as Christians, we
long for all the world's people to have an opportunity to understand
the grace of God incarnated in Jesus Christ. To this
end we inform ourselves, pray for, and support respectful
opportunities to make that grace also known among Muslims. Instead of giving in to generalizations, anger or fear
toward Muslims, Christians use this tool annually to direct their
concerns more constructively. |
