PLEASE PRAY:
- Thank God for walking alongside Halida. Pray for Him to bring and healing and new life to many during this season
- That God will protect believers from Muslim backgrounds in Central Asia, for whom Ramadan can be a dangerous time - particularly during lockdown
- Nothing is impossible for God. Ask the Holy Spirit to speak to those who persecute Christians, showing them the way to love and forgiveness.
