PRAYER REQUESTS FOR
June 20, 2025
Please pray for...
...the world’s 2 billion Muslims who will celebrate the beginning of the Islamic New Year on June 26. All religious duties and festivals are calculated according to the Islamic calendar.
…the growing vision of the African church to reach the world with the gospel, especially their burden to reach Muslim countries. African constituencies are increasingly scheduling Schools of Mission to prepare new missionaries.
…safety for new converts from Islam in Chad. Muslim radicals threaten to harm them if they do not return to Islam. Chad’s population of 19 million is 55% Muslim.
PRAY FOR MUSLIM STUDENTS IN THE
UNITED STATES
in 2020, the US Religion Census estimated that there were 4.45 million Muslims in the United States, representing 1.34% of the total US population. The estimate for 2025 is around 4.5 million according to a report from www.justiceforall.org, which is 1.1% of the total population.
In the 2023-2024 academic year, Iran had the most international students from Muslim-majority nations in the U.S., with 12,430 students. The number of international students studying in U.S. Universities in the 2023-2024 academic year is over 1.1 million. This number represented an all-time high and a 7% increase from the previous year!
International students provide a great opportunity for evangelism. Most of these students have never had a Christian friends, held a Bible in their hands, or had an adequate presentation of the Good News of salvation through Jesus Christ.
Let's pray for these international students living in America where they have a greater chance of hearing the gospel than in their own home lands:
-
Pray that Christians across the United States would boldly share the love of Jesus and the salvation He gives with these precious people who have never had the opportunity to know Jesus.
-
Pray that Muslim students would encounter Christians on their campus who will befriend them and share life with these students so they can find Jesus.
-
Pray that God would give Muslim students a hunger for Jesus and reveal himself to them through dreams and visions.

PRAY FOR A SENSITIVE COUNTRY
In a nation that is officially 100% Muslim, the few Christians have been experiencing a fresh wave of persecution over the past couple of months.
A worker asks us to pray
-
that the Holy Spirit would fill the hearts of His people with peace and give them the boldness and wisdom they need to live out and discretely share their faith;
-
for a team of local workers who focus on reaching children and youth, that the Lord would open doors for them and protect them and the young people who respond;
-
for an online ministry that guides young people to Jesus and disciples them. This ministry has made contact with some 1,500 youth, of whom about 800 have indicated they have accepted the gift of salvation. Pray they would grow in their faith and shine the Light among their people.
PRAY FOR OPEN DOORS IN A SENSITIVE COUNTRY
About ten workers were slated to enter this nation over the next few weeks and months to live and work among the primarily Muslim population. However, they are now unable to obtain visas. Please pray that the Lord would intervene in this situation and open the way for them to come.
PRAY FOR BENIN
A pastor asks us to pray for the people and churches in his region: “The security situation is becoming increasingly alarming in northern Benin. A church deacon [in a village] was killed in the field on May 15. This village needs your prayers because the threat is so great. In the same region, the people in two villages had to flee to another town. The pastors of the local churches and their congregations have also fled. Please support them in your prayers.”
The prayer of a righteous person is powerful
and effective.
James 5:16
