Intercede with Us for the Muslim World!

The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came

 from the Father, full of grace and truth. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever

believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life (ohn !"!#$ %"!&, ')*.

The Incarnation is a truth that Muslims do not accept, and only God's Holy Spirit can open their eyes. Pray this week that

they will see that Jesus is truly Immanuel, “God with us.!
