NOVEMBER - QATAR |
Capital: Doha
Population: 700,000
Religion: Islam
Qatar
is an absolute monarchy ruled by the Emir, Sheikh Hamad Al Thani, who
deposed his father in 1996 in a bloodless coup. Under the progressive
leadership of the Emir, Qatar is developing quickly. Monday - Pray that God would give birth to a local Church and national leadership within Qatar Tuesday - Pray that the Bible, other literature and videos would be distributed boldly and that Christian media (satellite TV, radio, Internet, etc.) would have greater impact. Wednesday - Pray that God would mobilize the thousands of expatriate Christians here to pray for Qataris and to reach out to their Muslim friends. Thursday - Pray for greater unity amongst the 50 plus churches and Christian fellowships that meet in Qatar. Friday - There is only a handful of "known" local believers, most of whom are not spiritually mature. Pray that they would be strengthened, discipled and used of God. Saturday - Pray that God would break the spiritual pride that Qataris have concerning Islam and prepare their hearts for the message of the Gospel. Sunday - Pray
for God to grant Christians greater favor with the Qatari government, which
has decided to give land to build churches for the first time. It seems that
the Lord is creating a "new atmosphere" in this strict Wahhabi Muslim
country.
