LMT Network Digest - March 2023

March 13, 2023

The countdown is on to the month of Ramadan. It begins the evening of March 22 and ends the evening of April 20. The Night of Power is April 17.

For Muslim families I’m sure the next few days and weeks will be filled with thinking and planning about how to observe this month. Some will aspire to observe this month of prayer and fasting more diligently that they have ever managed before. Some will be coordinating where and with whom to break the fast each evening. Others may feel discouraged at their previous efforts or their present circumstances, and not have much energy to observe Ramadan at all this year.

How are you preparing for this month? How will you be prioritizing prayer for Muslims during this month? Are you meeting with others? Let me encourage you to read a blog Cristina wrote with links to a variety of prayer resources. We’ll be sending a reminder email in a week as well. This year our Canadian-focus prayer guide has been translated into Korean and Chinese (both traditional and simplified). Help us spread the word about the guide. You can find and subscribe to it here.

While God alone knows how many Muslims have left Islam to put their faith in Jesus Christ in our lifetime, we can agree that we are seeing an unprecedented responsiveness to the gospel. I believe this is the fruit of persistent prayer. Let’s keep praying and loving our Muslim neighbours so that they too would turn and worship Jesus Christ, the only Saviour.

No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin or his background or his religion.

Nelson Mandela

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength and all your mind. And your neighbor as yourself.
