PRAYER REQUESTS FOR
March 21, 2025
Please pray for...
…the power of God to strike the hearts of Muslims as they observe Laylat al-Qadr (Night of Power) on March 27. Laylat al-Qadr commemorates the date of Muhammad’s first revelation.
…Osman Jama, a Somali Muslim who came to Christ in 2007 while living in Minnesota, USA. His family disowned him and refuses to speak to him. Osman feels called to share Christ with the 116,000 Somalis in the U.S. He says, “If God can reach me, He can reach any of them.”
…the North Kivu area of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Thirty people were recently murdered by the Islamic State group. A pastor says, “Mourning is a constant presence in our lives.”
IN THE NEWS: SYRIA
Pray for God’s intervention and for peace in Syria. In December 2024, a Sunni Muslim group, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, ousted dictator Bashar al-Assad, a minority Alawite Muslim. On Thursday, March 6, Alawite loyalists ambushed and killed members of the new government’s security forces. The government responded with attacks in Alawite-majority areas. Over four days, government forces, pro-Assad loyalists, and armed locals killed some 1,500 people—most of them civilians—in several coastal towns.
-
Pray for the bereaved families and for those who have fled their homes.
-
Pray for the Christians and church leaders in these areas and throughout Syria. Most who claim Christianity belong to historical Eastern churches, and few truly know Jesus as Savior and Lord. Pray that they would become true followers of Christ and become powerful witnesses of His love.
-
Pray that government leaders, who have assured the protection of minorities, would allow greater freedom of worship. Pray that, just as Jesus revealed himself to Paul on the Damascus Road, in this very land, Jesus would show himself to these leaders.

The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

URGENT PRAYER NEEDED
A pastor, along with other men, was kidnapped on Tuesday morning, March 11, when terrorists stopped the bus they were riding just outside a major city in Niger. Please pray for divine intervention!
PRAY FOR CHURCH PLANTING IN THE GAMBIA
On Sunday, March 9, workers launched a new church in the Muslim village where they have been living and serving for more than a year. The service was well attended, and that day three people entered into a new relationship with the God of love! This church will serve four villages in the area.
Let’s join this team in prayer, that these new believers would grow in their faith, and that more will be added to their number from all four villages!
OUTREACH IN THE GAMBIA
At a church in another area of The Gambia, a three-day training course is currently in session. Church members are learning about water-borne diseases and how to use a simple filtration system to prevent them. They will then share this information with neighbors and provide them with filters—and use this opportunity to share with them about Jesus, the Living Water. “Then the homes get 2-3 follow-up visits to check on the filters and follow up on discipleship,” a trainer explains. Pray that many would find both physical and spiritual health through these efforts and that new communities of believers would be established.
"Not by might; not by power, but by My Spirit," says the Lord of Hosts.
Zech. 4:6
