PRAYER REQUESTS FOR
September 12, 2025
Please pray for...
…evangelism efforts in West Java, Indonesia. A worker reports: “During the meetings, Muslims bring loudspeakers from which they blare music and shout protests against the meetings.”
…Pastor Saint and his congregation in Nigeria. His update states: “Muslim jihadists completely wiped out eight families of our church and burnt down their homes. Each Sunday, those who can bring cups of foodstuff, to share with everyone—for at least one meal a day.”
…discipling classes for “large numbers of Muslims” who have come to salvation in Christ in Malaysia in the last few months. Of Malaysia’s population of 36 million, 65% are Muslim.
Pray for Believers in North Korea
North Korea today is like a nightmare. The state creates a cult around the young “Supreme Leader” (Kim Jong-un) and his dead grandfather (Kim Il-Sung), and does not allow the people to interact with the outside world. More than 3 million people have starved to death since 1994. Foreign charities can bring food, farming technology, training, and start business ventures, but are restricted in their activites and closely watched. Pray that help will reach the desperate, hungry people. Pray that in God’s timing a change would come to completely free and transform this land.
The Korean revival (1907) began in the Church in North Korea! People in those days called Pyongyang the “Jerusalem of the East”. But most Christians fled to the South during the Korean War, or died as martyrs. Now if you even say the name “Jesus” aloud you may die for it. We do not know much about the underground Church, but we know it survived and even grows. The government holds up to 100,000 Christians in labour camps. Pray for North Korean believers to persevere in probably the most difficult country for Christians.

Requests
PRAY FOR TOGO
Please pray for two believers belonging to a strongly Muslim people group that has long resisted the gospel. One was an influential leader who studied in North Africa before he met and accepted Jesus. He led the second brother to the Lord. Both have seen their wife and children taken from them and face outright rejection from their community. Let’s intercede for them and for their people.
-
Pray that the Holy Spirit would draw their wives and children—and other family members—to Jesus and restore these families.
-
The first man has recently written two books specifically to “enlighten” his people about Islam and to point them to the true God. They have been published elsewhere. and he is now working to get them shipped into Togo. Pray that these books may arrive and have a great impact on influential people in his region.
-
The Bible is currently being translated into the language of this people group. Pray for the team working on this project. Pray that the Holy Spirit would prepare hearts and minds to receive God’s Word with joy.
PRAY FOR A BELIEVER IN A SENSITIVE COUNTY
Recently, a Muslim-background believer, a leader in a ministry to his people, went into hiding after receiving death threats. After a time, he determined to meet with his opponents face to face, and asked Christian friends to pray for him. Praise God, he was able to present a strong testimony about Jesus to these radical, influential Muslims. They listened and made no attempt to harm him, but let him return to his city and ministry! Pray for the Lord’s continued protection over this brother. Pray that the Spirit would use his words and even miraculous revelations to bring these men to Jesus.
PRAY FOR MINISTRY IN DR CONGO
A worker traveled this week to a certain city here to give a seminar on Islam to church leaders and members. In this part of the country, he notes, “there is a strong Islamic presence…. Christians and Muslims live together in these regions, often side by side. This year, a national Islamic leader residing in the area came to faith in Christ and was baptized. Despite facing severe persecution and hardship, he is growing steadily in his walk with the Lord. He is one of the attendees of the current gathering.” This worker asks us to pray for the following requests:
-
Pray for the program, which aims to equip the churches to share the love of Christ more effectively with Muslim neighbors. Pray that the churches would be strategically organized to lovingly and wisely welcome new believers from a Muslim background.
-
“Lift up both the plenary sessions, which are open to all, and the sessions specifically designed for church leaders. Pray for God’s protection, as well as for divine wisdom in every teaching and interaction.
-
“Pray for more laborers willing to leave everything behind to present the gospel to unreached communities [in this region].”
