30 Ways for Muslims to Encounter Christ
On or around the 27th night of Ramadan, Muslims celebrate the “Night of Power” as a special time that their prayers and good deeds count for more. They believe their chance of getting their prayers answered and miracles done are increased on this night. Pray for multitudes of Muslims from BiH to encounter Jesus tonight in a dream or vision.
Praying Scripture
“All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord, and all the families of [BiH] shall worship before you” (Psalm 22:27).
We declare today that the people of BiH are destined to worship you and obey you, to love you and to enjoy you, forever. Lord, we ask that all the sects, tribes, and families of BiH shall remember you and turn to you; every knee will bow, and every tongue will confess that Christ is the Lord.
Praying for the Church
There are two organizations in BiH that are working to promote life-affirming options for women and families facing crisis or unplanned pregnancies.
Pray for their work through outreach and educational programs, humanitarian aid, and counseling. Pray for the foreigners and nationals who are working at these centers. Pray for this counter-cultural message to take root and help many to meet Christ in the process.
Liberty to the Captives
Each of us who comes to Christ must repent of and renounce every pact, promise, or identity we held before faith in Christ. Join us in praying for our brothers and sisters in Christ from a Muslim background as they repent of their former identity as Muslims. This prayer is inspired by chapter 7 and 8 of Liberty to the Captives by Mark Durie
Jesus is full of truth: “We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth” (John 1:14).
Pray for Christians from a Muslim background in BiH to model Jesus to those around them and to daily grow in being full of grace and truth.
Bosnian Insights
The “Night of Power” is believed to be the exact night that the prophet Mohammed was given the Quran. Many consider it to be the most important night in Islam, and they watch for it on the odd nights of the last 10 days of Ramadan. This year it will likely take place tonight (though only Allah knows). Many Muslims who don’t fast throughout Ramadan will choose to fast this day.
Pray for multitudes of Muslims from Bosnia to encounter Jesus tonight in a dream or vision. Pray that Jesus would break through this night to the Muslims in Bosnia and Herzegovina. May he reveal that he is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
