RAMADAN BEGINS SOON

Are you intrigued by different cultures, especially the food? Then you’ll love initiating a Gospel-centered conversation with a Muslim during the month of Ramadan.

Ramadan is a time when Muslims fast during daylight hours to celebrate the month when the Quran (the Islamic holy book) was revealed to Muhammad. This year, Ramadan kicks off the evening of May 5^thand ends June 4^th. And every night, Muslims worldwide will typically prepare a feast with their favorite foods and celebrate throughout the evening.

Take a cue from Chris: Initiate a conversation with a Muslim, and ask curious questions. Look for opportunities to pray with your new Muslim friend, in Jesus’ name.

Pray that Muslims world-wide would come to know Christ. Here’s a link for a helpful prayer resource called, “Muslim World Prayer Guide: 30 Days of Prayer.”
