All Days
Use these resources to help pray specifically each day.
One of the primary ways God is drawing Muslims to Himself is through simple Bible studies that highlight passages of scripture from Creation through the Resurrection. The Waha app (https://waha.app/) contains many story sets that have been translated into dozens of languages. Throughout the 30 days we will pray through these story sets that reveal Jesus, the Word made flesh.
As you read these familiar passages, prayerfully imagine what it would be like to read them for the first time – to see the wisdom, power, beauty, and authority of God and to be drawn to trust in Christ and yield your allegiance to Him.
Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Where will you have us prepare for you to eat the Passover?” He said, “Go into the city to a certain man and say to him, ‘The Teacher says, My time is at hand. I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.’” And the disciples did as Jesus had directed them, and they prepared the Passover.
When it was evening, he reclined at table with the twelve. And as they were eating, he said, “Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me.” And they were very sorrowful and began to say to him one after another, “Is it I, Lord?” He answered, “He who has dipped his hand in the dish with me will betray me. The Son of Man goes as it is written of him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.” Judas, who would betray him, answered, “Is it I, Rabbi?” He said to him, “You have said so.”
Now as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, “Take, eat; this is my body.” And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. I tell you I will not drink again of this fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father’s kingdom.”
And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
God is writing one unified story. We began tracing this story on Day 1 of this prayer campaign with God speaking creation into being. It continued with the promise about the Seed of the woman on Day 3, Isaac’s substitutionary sacrifice on Day 8, and the doorways painted with the lamb’s blood on Day 10. All of this builds up to today’s passage, the fulfillment of the new covenant that Jesus established.
All of humanity is capable of betrayal. When Jesus said that one of his followers would betray him, they all became sorrowful and asked one another, “Is it I?” Pray for Tunisians to have honest self-awareness about their capacity to do evil. Pray that this revelation would drive them to the only one who can forgive them of the evil they have done and give them a new heart — holy, pure, selfless, and loving.
Radhia grew up in a conservative Muslim family. She led a normal life, marrying, having children, and being a good neighbor. When she inexplicably lost more than 20 pounds, she went to a doctor to seek answers. She discovered she had a very rare intestinal disorder and that she would need an expensive surgery. She reached out to her family to help her, but found that no one was willing to support her. Confused and feeling abandoned, she reached out to her neighbor who was a Christian. Despite this neighbor having even more difficult financial circumstances than Radhia, by God’s grace this Christian was able to help her and walk with her through her overwhelmingly difficult circumstances.
Which of us has not experienced betrayal? Muslims are not an exception. Sadly, they do not know a Lord who knowingly accepted betrayal and continued to love his betrayer until the last moment.
Pray that when Muslims in this place experience human betrayal, they would have an opportunity through Christ and/or His followers to experience undeserved acceptance, love, and forgiveness.
While Radhia awaited surgery she put her trust in Jesus and he healed her. Miraculously, the surgeon found nothing wrong with her during the surgery and just sewed her back up. Radhia immediately shared the good news of her miraculous healing with her family and friends. Many hearts are being drawn to Christ through this testimony. Pray for God’s protection over the Discovery Bible Studies that are gathering and pray for fruit that will last.
A has a deep burden for southern Tunisia, her region of origin. Pray that God will open doors for travel and guide her words in conversation. Pray for A as a single mother and for her daughters. Pray especially for her oldest daughter to succeed academically and have the opportunity to continue her education abroad.
On the night Jesus was betrayed, he said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way also he took the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.” (1 Corinthians 11:23-26)
Pray that every time brothers and sisters take communion – eating the bread and drinking the cup – they would proclaim the Lord’s death. Pray this bold proclamation would lead to multitudes of people in this land becoming followers of Christ who participate in communion. Pray that the practice of taking the Lord’s Supper would be an act of spiritual defiance against the spiritual forces that try to say, “Jesus didn’t really die.” May it be taken with eager expectation for the day we will drink it again with Jesus in Our Father’s Kingdom.
