PRAYING THROUGH RAMADAN

On September 1, with the sighting of the new moon, a time of fasting called “Ramadan” began. This month of fasting, one of the five Pillars of the Islamic faith, is a result of obedience and causes Muslims to remember the qualities of Allah. Because of the spiritual dimension to fasting, many Muslims study the Koran and visits increase to mosques during Ramadan. We would like to challenge you to pray for Muslims this month. Pray that many will hear and entrust their lives to Jesus. ****************************************************** RAMADAN PRAYER CALENDARS ...............................................
