Intercede with Us for the Muslim World!The desert tribes will bow before him . . . . All kings will bow down to him and all nations will serve him (Ps 72: 9a, 11).*

Today's Prayer Requests: From Students and AlumniSOUTH SUDAN: An alumna asks for prayer for her husband, who is currently visiting a refugee camp in South

Sudan to give discipleship and church-planting training. He writes: Join us to pray for these training sessions, that the

Lord himself would envision the body of Christthe church in this refugee campto reach out to their fellow

refugees. The refugee camp offers a window of opportunity of reaching out to the unreached people groups from the

Nuba Mountains that are mostly Muslims and animist. These are all living together with the Nuba Christians in [this]

refugee camp in South Sudan, having fled their home land. Pray that the Lord will open the minds and hearts of theparticipants to receive and apply this training. Pray that the Spirit will speak through him as he teaches there and then

in Nairobi, Kenya.

In the News

Presidential elections in Iran are being held today. Seven candidates are running. Most are conservative Muslims, and

all are loyal to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khameinei, under whom the president serves. Please pray for peaceful

elections. Pray that Iranian people, even as they vote, will reflect on their lives and sense a desire for true freedom in

their hearts. Pray that they will have divine encounters with God's truth, which alone can set them free.

From Global Initiative**

Pray for the country of Nigeria. Since 2009, the Islamic terrorist group Boko Haram has killed approximately 3,000

Nigerian citizens. Pray especially for schoolchildren who are affected. Nigeria leads all other nations in the

percentage of children missing school, and in the north most fear to go to school. As Boko Haram means Westerneducation is forbidden, it is not surprising that the group seeks to close down non-Islamic schools. So far this year at

least 14 schools have been burned down in Maiduguri, Boko Haram's headquarters city, alone. Children in the north

are taking their exams under guard. Please pray for the protection of these children and for their families. Pray also

for churches, who also meet under guard, and that the Lord will touch many through Christians' lives and witness.

For Muslim Women***

Pray for a specific community of Muslim women in a very conservative Asian context. They have a divinely ordained

opportunity to witness the love of Christ manifest in the lives of a Christian family there. It is a sensitive death-to-life

story that we pray will stir the hearts of precious Muslim women to consider their own heavenward journeys. Please

pray Gods anointing upon the Christian family who carry this heavy burden with joy and with an earnest desire to see

their Muslim friends come to faith.
