AUGUST - KUWAIT |
Capital: Kuwait City
Population: 1,950,000
Religion: Islam
Before
the time of Alexander the Great, the location of Kuwait made this area an
important trade link between what is now Iraq and the rest of the Arabian
Peninsula. The tribes were able to sustain themselves through fishing,
pearling and trading. The inhospitable nature of the desert prevented any
significant development of the land itself. Monday - Pray that God will reach the locals. Pray that national Christian leaders would be raised up to lead the church. Tuesday - Pray that God will reach leaders (government, business, family and tribal) who will open great doors of ministry in this land. Wednesday - Many Kuwaitis travel to other countries as tourists, businessmen and students. Pray that they will meet Christians who will speak boldly of their Savior. Thursday - Pray for the few Kuwaiti believers to stand strong in their faith and share boldly with their family and friends. Friday - Pray that many expatriate believers will catch a vision for reaching their Muslim colleagues and neighbors and for wisdom in communicating the Gospel. Saturday - Christian Internet, radio, satellite television and videos can communicate the Gospel within Kuwait. Pray for Kuwaitis to respond to the Gospel message. Sunday - Pray
for unity among God's people with an eagerness to meet the spiritual,
physical and emotional needs of the people. Pray that this unity would be
present among the leaders as well as the people. |
