PRAYER REQUESTS FOR
March 20, 2026
Please pray for…
​
…Christians to share with Muslim friends during Eid al-Fitr about the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, which far exceeds the feasting that follows Ramadan. Pray that God will open opportunities to share the way of salvation and eternal life through Jesus Christ, bringing true and lasting joy.
​
…for the suffering families of Afghanistan, especially the children. This nation faces widespread malnutrition, even starvation, and extreme poverty. Afghanistan has a population of 50 million, with 99% being Muslim.
​
…a team from Kenya preparing to serve among an “unengaged” people group with no known Christian presence. Northern Kenya and the Horn of Africa countries (Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Somalia) have more than 25 unengaged Islamic people groups. Pray for favor among these people groups and for a great harvest of souls.
In the News: The Islamic Republic of Iran
This past week, under pressure from Iran’s hardline Revolutionary Guard, the new supreme leader has been named: Mojtaba Khamenei, a son of assassinated leader Ali Khamenei. This appointment raises fears of continued and even stronger oppression. Iran’s chief of police has warned that anyone expressing opposition to the regime will be considered an “enemy” and has given police permission to shoot them on sight. Iranians living overseas are also being warned that those seen as dissidents “will be met with the confiscation of all their properties and other legal penalties in accordance with the law.”
​
-
Pray for God’s protection over and wisdom for Iranian believers, who already experience great persecution.
​
-
Pray that many disillusioned Iranians would hear and believe the message that Jesus is the Source of the peace, life, and freedom that they seek.
​
-
Continue to pray that government authorities would have supernatural encounters with Jesus.
Join our brothers and sisters who are praying in this “defining moment”:
Pray for Muslims during Ramadan
Beginning February 18, Muslims around the world will observe Ramadan, their month of fasting. Throughout this month, from dawn to dark, Muslims abstain from all food and drink, even water. As they sense their own hunger and weakness, they strive to focus more on Allah, to seek forgiveness, and to identify more with those in need. Because deeds done during Ramadan bring greater blessing, many give extra alms, pray more, and read through the Koran. After the sun sets and evening prayers are recited, they gather with family or in the mosque for the iftar meal. They satisfy their physical hunger—but the gnawing spiritual hunger remains.

for the 30 Days of Ramadan
Let’s pray
-
that as Muslims reflect on Allah, the Holy Spirit would break into their thoughts and direct them to the One True God;
-
that many would experience a growing sense of dissatisfaction in the rituals, have the courage to question their own beliefs, and seek the way of salvation;
-
that Christ-followers would have divine opportunities to share with Muslim neighbors.

Additional Prayer
Requests
PRAY FOR SENEGAL
A Senegalese worker asks us to pray for his country, where Islam predominates:
-
“Pray with us for the salvation of Senegal during this Ramadan period, during which the Koran is recited everywhere. This disturbs children in class, and workers are unable to work as they should.” May the Holy Spirit reveal Jesus to Muslims who making special efforts to seek God during this month.
-
“The government wants to introduce the study of the Quran in schools in a secular country.” It is increasingly seeking to assimilate daaras (Quranic schools) into the national education system. Let us pray that God will thwart this strategy, which threatens freedom of worship.
PRAY FOR GUINEA
The Lord continues to move in this West African nation. Though some 90 % of the people are Muslims, citizens officially have freedom of worship, and churches are free to meet and evangelize. In the largest Pentecostal denomination, new congregations are being established, and a team is working to see that some of them receive tabernacles (roofed steel shelters) in which to meet. But this growth means that more Spirit-filled, trained pastors are needed to care for and disciple these new Christ-followers. Let’s pray concerning this need.
-
Pray that the Lord would raise up more qualified teachers who can devote themselves to the work of the Bible school. .
-
Pray that the Holy Spirit would stir the hearts of more Guinean believers to enter full-time ministry, and provide for them and their families as they obey and pursue the theological training they need.
PRAY FOR WEST AFRICA
Two translation projects are in progress to provide culturally appropriate theological textbooks for Bible schools in several Muslim-majority West African nations. The director of the ministry launching these projects shares these needs:
-
Pray for the translation of these manuals into Hausa, which is progressing well. Pray for the presentation of these documents in Nigeria later this year and for their successful integration into the schools’ curriculum.
-
“Pray for the Bambara translation project, which will be strategic in reaching Muslims in Burkina Faso, Mali and Ivory Coast.” Three of the 13 books have been completed. Pray that the Lord would strengthen and guide these translation teams.
