TRANSCRIPT
An unprecedented turning!
• For nearly 14 centuries Islam and Christianity have been engaged in a spiritual contest for the souls of millions. For over 12 of those centuries, Islam has been the clear victor.
• Since Muhammad founded Islam in AD 622, millions of Christians have been swept into the House of Islam – the name Muslims give to their global religious empire.

An unprecedented turning!
• In the last two decades of the 20th century, the tide has really begun to turn.
• Movements have broken out in Algeria, Soviet Central Asia, Bangladesh and Iran.
• In the first 14 years of the 21st century, new Muslim movements to Christ have erupted across the Muslims world, from West Africa to Indonesia and everywhere in between.
• The 21 century alone has seen the addition of 69 new Muslim movements to Christ.
HOW CAN WE PRAY!
• The current wave of Muslim movements to Christ has happened at the same time as an increase in prayer for the Muslim world.
• It’s no coincidence that the 30 DAYS of Prayer movement has just commemorated its 23rd year.
• PRAY that the Spirit of God will continue to sweep through the Muslim world, drawing Islam’s millions to realize their need for salvation in Christ alone!
Join hands with believers around the world!
• Through prayer, we engage in an act of love for Muslim people around the world – sharing their burdens, understanding their concerns and petitioning God to help them. In this way, we fulfill the command of Jesus to love our neighbours.
• A prayer guide, called 30 DAYS OF PRAYER is produced annually to encourage, educate and enable believers to pray effectively for Muslims during the month of Ramadan.
• Copies are available for only $2.25 each + postage. There is a special edition for elementary aged children.
