PRAYER REQUESTS FOR
October 24, 2025
Please pray for
…protection for an Iranian mother named Zohre and her family of eight. When the Lord healed her son of heart disease, Zohre left Islam and embraced Jesus as Lord. Her husband immediately abandoned her and the family. Zohre says, “Jesus is our provider. We will not turn back.”
…the Balkan Reach Initiative, based in Albania. Global Initiative is honored to help train workers to serve in the greater Balkan region, where Islam has a strong presence.
…a house church movement in a 98% Muslim country of Central Asia. The leader reports: “Islamic opposition is actually strengthening the home fellowships. Key leaders are now encouraging and communicating with one another more than ever before.”
IN THE NEWS: SOMALIA
On October 1, the Somalian parliament ratified the international African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the Child, a step forward in better protecting and providing for its children. Then, responding to dissension from some, the parliament clarified its stance, saying, “Our religion and constitution are the foundation of all laws in Somalia. Clauses that contradict Islamic teachings cannot be implemented.” Thus, they reject several key rights laid out in the Charter. Children, they insist, are Muslim and are not free to change their religion. Parents, not any external law, remain the authority to whom children must submit. The age of adulthood and marriage consent is decided by Islamic law, not fixed at 18 as stipulated in the Charter.
Please pray
-
for Somalia’s children. Many girls are married at a young age; few go beyond primary school. Many boys are recruited by the army or jihadist groups. Hundreds of thousands are displaced and have no stable home life.
-
that the Holy Spirit would reveal to Somalis the truth of who they—and their children—truly are: people created in God’s image and of immeasurable value to Him.
-
for the few Somali and foreign believers in the country, that the Lord would give them opportunities to quietly share His redemptive love—love that gives dignity and purpose to each person.
The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
James 5:16

Requests
PRAY FOR A SENSITIVE NATION
In this Muslim nation, fewer than 0.1% of the people are followers of Jesus. Most of them face the dual stigma of belonging to a minority ethnic group as well as following an illegal faith. Despite this, workers report, “The underground Church is experiencing remarkable growth . . . . [These] brothers and sisters are showing inspiring fervor, and fellowships are multiplying despite restrictions.”
Please pray for them.
-
Pray for God’s protection over His people, and for freedom to meet, carry a Bible, and share Jesus with others.
-
Pray for the leaders of underground fellowships, for divine strength, wisdom, and encouragement .
-
Pray for Pastor M, who was arrested for evangelistic activities. He has appealed to the Supreme Court. The ongoing stress is causing him serious health problems. Pray that the Lord would touch his body, soul, and spirit, and for a positive response to his case.
PRAY FOR CÔTE D’IVOIRE
Ivoirian citizens will vote for their president this Saturday, October 25. Although demonstrations have been banned, some 200 protesters have been arrested this month. Pray that the election would be held peaceably.
Pray for believers in both nations, that they would speak and act wisely, pointing people to Jesus alone.
PRAY FOR CAMEROON
Pray for peace in this Central African nation as the result of the October 12 presidential election is announced this week. Already both the current president and his main contender have claimed victory. Demonstrations in various cities have led to at least 20 arrests.
In the Muslim-dominated hometown of the opposition leader, a female teacher at the local Arab school was fatally shot as soldiers dispersed protesters. Pray for calm. Pray for the family of this teacher, that they would come to know and find comfort in Jesus.
