THIS MONTH, AN ESTIMATED 1.8 BILLION MUSLIMS WILL BE MUCH MORE DEEPLY AWARE OF SPIRITUAL MATTERS

In their seeking, would you pray with us that they find Jesus?

In Matthew 9, Jesus tells His disciples that the harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few. He then encourages them to pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers to His harvest field. SIM’s motto, By Prayer, is a call to action emphasizing the important work to be done in God’s global mission. We must intercede for those living outside of a saving relationship with Jesus, many of whom have never heard His name or His offer of life through Him.

Every day, more than 4,000 SIM workers from more than 65 different countries are crossing barriers by prayer to bring good news to hard places in over 70 countries. We are convinced that no one should live and die without hearing about God’s gift of salvation through His Son. Yet, nearly 1.8 billion followers of Islam in the world today—men, women, and children—still need to hear the life-changing truth of the gospel.

How is God leading you to reach Muslims with the good news of Jesus? We believe that it begins with prayer, and if God leads you to give or go as your next step, a vital connection with God will sustain you every step of the way.

Thank you for joining SIM in praying for Muslims around the world.


To the people who are telling the Christian religion, SIM organization. We are the youth of Ingessana tribes and are requesting the Christian religion. The number of our youth is very big, more than 6,000. We want a pastor in each of the eight villages to teach our people. We want all Ingessana tribes to become Christians. We need churches to be built in the villages.

PRAYING FOR MUSLIMS: A SCRIPTURAL GUIDE

God guides us through His Word in so many ways—one of which is knowing how to pray for others. Use the prayer points and corresponding Scripture references below to guide you in praying for Muslims around the world.

"In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God." (2 Corinthians 4:4)
"For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart." (Hebrews 4:12)
"'Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.' " (Matthew 5:17)

"Moses said, ‘The Lord God will raise up for you a prophet like me from your brothers. You shall listen to him in whatever he tells you. And it shall be that every soul who does not listen to that prophet shall be destroyed from the people.’ " (Acts 3:22-23)

"Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world." (Hebrews 1:1-2)

"Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired carefully, inquiring what person or time the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glories. It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in the things that have now been announced to you through those who preached the good news to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels long to look." (1 Peter 1:10-12)
"We have all become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment. We all fade like a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away." (Isaiah 64:6)

"As it is written: 'None is righteous, no, not one; no one understands; no one seeks for God. All have turned aside; together they have become worthless; no one does good, not even one...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God," (Romans 3:10-12, 23)
"For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life." (John 3:16)

"...but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8)
"Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you--unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep." (1 Corinthians 15:1-6)
"Whoever believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. Whoever does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has borne concerning his Son. And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life." (1 John 5:10-12)
"And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." (Acts 4:12)
"You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart." (Jeremiah 29:13)

At Caesarea there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion of what was known as the Italian Cohort, a devout man who feared God with all his household, gave alms generously to the people, and prayed continually to God. About the ninth hour of the day he saw clearly in a vision an angel of God come in and say to him, "Cornelius." And he stared at him in terror and said, "What is it, Lord?" And he said to him, "Your prayers and your alms have ascended as a memorial before God. And now send men to Joppa and bring one Simon who is called Peter.' " (Acts 10:1-5)

"And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him." (Hebrews 11:6)
"If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple." (Luke 14:26-27)

KEY TO THE KINGDOM

Enraged at his Christian wife for going to a church conference, the Muslim husband locked up the house as soon as she left, declaring to the neighbors that his wife would never enter his home again. To make his point, he threw the key into the river as he headed to his girlfriend’s house for the week.
