RAMADAN PRAYER As Muslims pray and fast during Ramadan, we pray for them.

QATAR

"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." - John 13:34-35 (NIV)

"I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one- I in them and you in me-so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me." - John 17:22-23 (NIV)

CHRISTIANS IN THE ARABIAN PENINSULA ARE ASKING BELIEVERS TO PRAY JOHN 13:34-35 AND JOHN 17:22-23 OVER QATAR.

• Qatar is relatively politically stable, yet it is struggling to maintain its cultural and religious values amidst rapid development and modernization. Pray that the government's response, often influenced by Islamic fundamentalists, will be driven by the desire to honor to God-respecting and protecting the rights of all, especially the majority foreign workers, by observing of international labour laws and basic human rights.

• Praise the Lord for the granting of property for building of churches and places of worship. Still, the reality is there remains insufficient space to accommodate the large number of Christ followers! Pray that the government will grant permission for groups to meet outside of the compounds in places like restaurants, hotels, etc. Pray for increasing unity among the various fellowships, and that God would use these fellowships to meet the growing needs of the very poor migrant communities, especially in the labour camps, and that they would be bold to proclaim the Word of God to these people.

• Pray for Christians to come together to pray, worship and fellowship together. Pray that God would grant the different fellowships a united heart to impact Qatar for Jesus' sake.

Bless the government of Qatar with a deep desire to stand up for the human rights of all people and even to to be an example to other nations.

Bless the many different Churches from expatriate communities that meet during the week; bless them with great worship.

Bless the few Qatari Believers in Jesus with boldness to meet together in unity.

Father, bless them with the ability not to repay evil for evil, but rather to repay evil with blessings, and may You bless them as well. (Prayer based on 1 Peter 3:9, the Holy Bible)
