The purpose of 30 Days is to call Christians to pray for, and show
love and respect to, Muslims around the world. In doing so, we hope to
see:

The 30 Days of Prayer for the Muslim World is a prayer focus which
coincides yearly with Ramadan, an important month of fasting and
religious observance for Muslims. Christians worldwide are called upon
to make an intentional but respectful effort during that period to learn
about, pray for and reach out to Muslim neighbors.

Global Initiative works in the areas of intercession, training, research
and mobilization to fulfill this mission by enlisting believers as
intercessors, encouraging an understanding of Islam and equipping
Christians to provide a culturally sensitive witness, training people to
disciple Muslim-background believers, and assisting in planting
churches among Muslims.

Say Hello is an imperative that beckons believers into the
wonderful experience of relating Christ to Muslim women. Its intention
crumbles language and culture barriers by appealing to everything
Christian and Muslim girls of all ages value in common. It imparts joy
in friendship; it yields eternal fruit.
Research affirms that Christian friendships are key to a Muslim’s decision to follow Christ. * (Christianity Today reference) Most Christian women regularly come in contact with Muslim women, but stereotypes and unfounded fears deceive us into behaviors that keep them marginalized and lost. A simple act of friendship can initiate a Muslim woman’s journey to Jesus. “Say Hello” wants to help Christian women everywhere know that they and Muslim women have everything to gain by being friends. We hold many common values, and most of our differences are also wonderful reasons for us to become friends. Our most important likeness is our need for Jesus, and our defining difference is that Christian women know Him, but most Muslim women have never even heard his story. For this reason “Say Hello: Serving Muslim Women” answers the call to inspire, equip and mobilize the Church for effective outreach to Muslim women everywhere. |
Muslim Movements to Christ
Something is happening in the
Muslim world, something unprecedented in history. Over the past 14
centuries, Islam has forged a ‘spiritual empire’ that stretches from
West Africa to Indonesia. Today, the Dar al-Islam or “House of Islam,”
as Muslims call their religious community, counts more than one in five
persons on earth.
