30 Days of Prayer for Muslims

Last week, I attended a meeting in Europe, of people that have a heart to reach Muslims with the Gospel. Although not directly associated with this group, for the past two years, they have allowed me to attend and provide input and insight into their ministry.

My role during these meetings is to be "Joe Christian". Which means to give my perspective and opinion, as an average Christian, in how they can promote their program to Christians worldwide.

30 Days or Prayer, ( http://www.30-days.net/ ) is a worldwide ministry that provides booklets and materials to be used by Christians during Islam's Ramadan. This is the period of time that Muslims fast and pray for 30 days. This ministry believes that they are not so much, called to fight Islam but to lift up Jesus so they can see Him as Savior.

Their desire is for Christians worldwide to pray in unison, using a standardized, worldwide prayer guide, during this same period of time. They do this so that the Holy Spirit can touch Muslims and open their hearts to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

At the end of these meetings, I have left with a high level of respect for the people working on the 30 Days project.

Their goals are to:
• See the Kingdom of God come among the Muslims
• Pray for Muslims to recognize Jesus as their Savior
• Not criticize them but to love them

It really is my blessing to be with the team and hear them reflect God's love for Muslims worldwide. Thank you for asking and allowing me to participate.

Blessings,
Rev. Lawrence Blakeslee
