PRAYER REQUESTS FOR
July 18, 2025
Please pray for...
…Pentecostal churches in Kazakhstan. A bishop says: “Our house church leaders have lost count of the conversions they are seeing among Muslims. It is simply a miracle.” Of Kazakhstan’s population of 15 million, 71% are Muslim.
…more workers to help in reaching Muslims in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex area in the United States. The Muslim population of the Metroplex area is 150,000.
…a new church plant on a remote Indonesian island called Mentawi. Stenly, an Indonesian believer, felt called to go there. Muslim radicals beat and tortured Stenly, but the Word of God has penetrated the hearts of Muslims. So far, seven Muslims have decided to follow Jesus.

IN THE NEWS
SOMALIA
Since January 2025, the Somali al-Qaida-linked Islamist group al-Shabaab has been retaking territory in central Somalia that they had lost to government forces in 2022. Most recently, on July 7, the militants seized a district capital, then another town on July 15; both towns are important crossroads leading to larger cities. At least 12,500 families have fled these towns. Since its founding in 2006, al-Shabaab’s stated goal is to establish an Islamic State in Somalia, with subsequent expansion into surrounding nations. Let’s pray for the people of Somalia.
-
Pray for God’s protection over these people. Even though 99.9% are Muslims, they are victimized by al-Shabaab if they do not subscribe to their radical, Salafist brand of Islam. Many are caught in the crossfire of ongoing conflict. Pray for provision for the some 3 million people displaced within Somalia.
-
Pray for the estimated 147,000 Somalis who follow Jesus in secret, that their quiet lives would radiate His love. May the Spirit would give them opportunities, boldness, and wisdom to witness in word and deed.
-
Pray that Jesus himself would intervene in the lives of al-Shabaab members in supernatural ways.
Additional Prayer
Requests
PRAY FOR CHILDREN IN CAMEROON
Recently, the annual church camps were held for children in the Muslim-dominated Far North Region, an area prone to deadly jihadist attacks. Praise God, the camps were held without incident. Please pray that the teachings about God the Father, salvation through Jesus His Son, and the power of the Holy Spirit would take root in each child's heart. May each child find a Christian friend or church to help him or her grow in the faith.
PRAY FOR THE UNITED KINGDOM
The city of Birmingham, England, is home to some 350,000 Muslims, who make up more than 30% of its population—well over the 7–8% in the UK in general. Most have roots in Southern Asia, especially Pakistan, and nearly 60% were born in the UK. Birmingham boasts more than 200 mosques and dozens of Islamic schools, and Muslims have a considerable and growing impact on their community’s politics, business, and education. A worker notes, however, that many are not strict Muslims and are open to the gospel message.
Please pray
-
that more evangelical/Pentecostal churches and local believers would be committed to evangelizing their Muslim neighbors. Many fear them or do not know how to approach them; pray that the Holy Spirit would give them guidance, provide them with the necessary training, and open doors for them to share Jesus.
-
that the Lord would work in the hearts of young UK-born Muslims, that they may find Jesus and lead others in their families and communities to Him.
PRAY FOR THE CHURCH IN THE ARAB WORLD
Praise God for a recent move among Bedouins in an Arab nation. In the past two years workers have seen 50 of these typically resistant people come to Christ, and the establishment of a church of 25. These Spirit-filled believers then began a second church. Recently 10 were baptized in water, choosing to do so on a Muslim holiday as a statement that the devil has lost them. Please pray that the Lord would strengthen these believers and continue to use them to reach fellow Bedouins.
The prayer of a righteous person is powerful
and effective.
James 5:16
