I've prayed through the 30 Days Muslim Prayer Focus for many
years. I personally haven't found a better resource
than your wonderful Prayer Guide to help me pray for Muslims with
clear understanding of who they are and their needs. I believe
consistent prayer lays the foundation for the Lord's breakthroughs, so I
hope every Christian everywhere prays through your Guide so that we can see
the Lord's name established throughout the entire Muslim world. Thanks for
your hard work. Eternity will show its impact!

The whole world is aware of the rise of Islamic
passions. Unfortunately, for many the response is fear and hatred; that is
not heaven’s response. Through the 30 Days Muslim Prayer Focus, we can tune
into God’s heart for people--and that never results in fear or hatred. The
prayer guide booklet published each year provides invaluable knowledge, and
that also helps us to approach Muslims with Godly hearts. As we learn and
pray, the kingdom of fear is driven back and the Kingdom of God advances.
Lynn Green, Chairman of Youth With A Mission
- A co-worker and I from World Impact have been praying through your 30-day
prayer guide about Muslims, and we have found it enormously helpful. Thanks
for the work you do on this. The Kingdom is being built and expanded
through this, so keep it up!
Bryan Cullison, World Impact (2008)
- I liked your new horizontal lay-out which gave the booklet a unique look,
distinguishing it from other prayer resources. It was colorful with pictures
of people and locations that gave a tangible feel to our prayers. It is easy
to use and look through. The resource pages in the middle are great and quite
helpful. Thank you for your efforts.
Fouad Masri, Crescent Project (2007)
- I have been using the 30 Day Muslim Prayer Focus in both English and Dutch
for many years. This is a wonderful way to meet the real world of Islam—a
world you may not have encountered physically—and to connect them to the
throne of God. Being aware of the growing influence of Islam, this book helps
us gain the right attitude towards Muslims and to let the compassion of Jesus
through us influence their lives. Think big! This is the only way all of us
can influence them.
Brother Andrew, Open Doors, Founder (2007)
- THANKS for making these Prayer Guides available. They are a great help as
we pray during Ramadan for the Muslims of our world.
James W., Choctaw, OK (2007)
- The Muslim world is a challenge to Christians--especially since 9/11. We
will not impact Muslims through our theological arguments or political
manipulation, but we will through prayer. The annual 30 Day prayer emphasis
that coincides with the Muslim month of Ramadan has been a remarkable global
effort to focus millions of Christians on prayer for the spiritual needs of
Muslims. Is it surprising, then, that during the 15 years of the 30 Days
Muslim Prayer Focus there has been a corresponding rise in the number of
Muslims turning to Christ? May God call many more as intercessor-priests (Rev
5-8) to change our world and extend His Kingdom!
Patrick Johnstone, WEC International, Author, Operation World (2006)
- Send me information regarding next year's booklet. I found the
information helpful in focusing my thoughts and prayers on Muslim / Christian
matters. Thank you.
Catheren R., Kent, WA (2006)
- I appreciate all the work put into the 30 Days Muslim Prayer Focus! I've
been following it for years now....the content is incredible and it's so neat
to join with others during that time. Just in case it's worth noting, now that
I'm at the border line for reading glasses, this year's colored ink made it
difficult to read. Thanks so much for the research and work done in layout,
the intro to the world areas was very helpful with the maps to follow, I was
impressed.
Flo (2005)
- Thank you so much. I have used the prayer guides for many years,
and this year's version is far and away the best I've seen. The personal
glimpses and the descriptive text lead us into a more clearly directive
prayer... The maps and other illustrations were great, and the 'Focus' pages
gave good overviews. I shall keep it as a prayer reference. Keep up the good
work.
Evelyn G., Lake City, MN (2005)
- The first time I read the Ramadan prayer guide was in
1993. It changed my heart and prayer life. I'm eager to pray for the Muslims
again...for them to truly know God's love through Jesus. This is one anointed
booklet. Thank you for making it available!.

Thank you for your faithful
publication of the 30 Days Prayer Guide, we are certainly seeing a difference
in North Africa with more fruit than ever before which really began after the
prayer focus was instituted! TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
Bob K., Eastview Christian Church (2005)
- I believe that someday soon we're going to see a great turning to Christ
in the Muslim world. The special prayer focus is important. Think back to the
mention of Herat, Afghanistan, the Kurds in Iraq, the Uighur people, and
others and look at how much has changed in those areas since they were
mentioned for prayer. At the time they were mentioned it seemed impossible to
reach them, now there's adequate opportunity. May God continue to give special
leading to those who select items to include in the Prayer Guide!
L. Williams (SIM missionary in Africa) 2005
- We all recognize the need to pray. We've all been challenged to pray for
the world. The hard thing is knowing how to do that well. The 30 Days Muslim
Prayer Focus is the kind of tool that enables effective prayer.
We at the U.S. Center for World Mission, Mission Frontiers magazine, and
William Carey Library publisher don't want to fill your mailbox with more good
things to do, we know you are likely very busy, BUT, we do want to encourage
you to join in with the thousands-if not millions-who will be praying this
fall for the Muslim world. This year's events from the war in Iraq to the
release of the film, The Passion, have continued to bring focus on this part
of the world. Let's join together and go before our Lord for the advance of
His purposes in all the earth.
Greg H. Parsons, General Director U.S. Center for World Mission (2004)
- "With great disappointment I turned to the last page in my booklet '30
Days Muslim Prayer Focus' which I faithfully prayed through during the month
of Ramadan. Now what do I do? My whole perception of the Muslim people has
changed. I used to have a vague perception of them as being extreme and
scary--and far away, not my concern. After praying for them for 30 days I find
myself much better educated about their beliefs and culture, AND, I have a
heavy, compassionate burden to see them come to the truth in Christ,
especially the women and children.
I have a feeling God is doing something important in my
heart. My husband is currently enlisted in the U.S. Army. learning the
intricacies of satellite communications. When his enlistment is up in two
years, he will be able to work anywhere in the world. Perhaps God is calling
us to a country where Christians cannot easily go... All this from your
brochure which someone handed to me in church one Sunday!
I need to continue praying daily for these people. Please
send me any prayer calendars or booklets that you have available (for ANY
foreign people groups). Of course, I want to be included next year! I don't
want to miss out on the serious and joyful responsibility of interceding for
such an important worldwide need. In the meantime, I will go back to page one
and start over in the booklet that I have here. Your ministry is awesome."
Heidi L., PA
- "The "30 Days of Prayer For the Muslim
World" booklet is a tremendous resource for
individuals, Bible study groups, families, churches,
etc. The children's version is especially great for
Christian schools, Sunday school classes, and young
family members. As a missions pastor, I have used this
resource in all the above settings and have seen it be a
wonderful tool for the mobilization of prayer for the
Muslim world. We purchased a number of copies to
distribute throughout our church and school. It is put
together with thought and prayer, and done with
excellence as well. I highly recommend this resource and
will be ordering it each year it comes out."
Lincoln Murdoch, formerly, pastor of Trinity Church (Omaha, NE)
now with Antioch Ministries in Phoenix
- "We have been using the Ramadan prayer guide. It is very helpful. Thank
you for putting it together. May our God answer our prayers more than we could
even ask or imagine."
First Baptist Church (Downey, CA)
- "What a joy to join with thousands around the
globe in prayer for the millions of Muslims for whom
Christ died. I am grateful for your dedicated and
anointed efforts in producing the materials and
organizing this special focus."
Barbara Kline, HCJB World Radio Prayer Coordinator
(Colorado Springs, CO)
- "Our entire Sunday School Class has realized what a
tremendous responsibility we have in praying for the
Muslim people. We were not aware of the rapid growth
among them."
- "I very much enjoyed using your 30 Days Muslim Prayer Focus book during
the month of Ramadan. It was a wonderful addition to my quiet times, and I
learned so much from it. Please keep me informed about similar items, such as
the Hindu Prayer Focus booklet."
Lisa Chapman
- "I realized that there is hope in reaching the
seemingly unreachable, thanks! I hope to participate
next year. I was shocked to know how little we know
about the Muslim faith."
- "Thanks for such an excellent guide to pray for
Muslims. We used it at our church, and found a number of
people very faithful in prayer and fasting. Our hearts
have been changed."
- "We have a Muslim student living with us. I was able to
share more insightfully with him and pray more
effectively for him."
- "As a 60 year old student at Okla. St. U. I come in
contact with Muslim students every day. My attitude
toward them has changed significantly."
- "I had limited contact with Arab people and viewed them
primarily as enemies of Israel. This has reminded me of
the need to pray for both Jewish and Muslim people, no
matter what my or their political philosophies are."
- "The most condensed, educational, and broadening
instrument to us "general people" I have ever
seen!"
- "This has really opened my eyes to the Muslim world.
The guide is on our breakfast table; we remember every
day to pray for Muslims. It has been the most
interesting prayer program we have ever done."
