A call for a day of prayer and fasting on Wednesday, March 15th

The war in Syria has lasted for 6 years. We can picture the scenes and retell the stories of that great conflict.

Let us come together, as the Body of Christ, for a day of prayer and fasting for the people of Syria.

Below are four prayer requests that the Lord has put on the hearts of some who work with Syrians. Use these words as a spring board to begin your time before the Lord. After 6 intense years of struggle, the war in Syria has left the nation divided into two groups, those who have remained in country living in survival mode, and those who have fled to various regions all over the world, also struggling to have their basic needs met each day.  

• Pray that Syrians in both of these groups would come to know Jesus as their sustainer and provider, and would become the hand that the Father uses to bring the Light of the Gospel into the hidden recesses of Islam both inside of Syria and around the world. 

• Pray that God would bring forth a “ Cornelius” of the Syrian Muslims. Pray for the gospel message to not only reach the Syrian refugees but multiply out across the Middle East and around the world. 

 Several workers will be training/sharing with some near culture believers on how the Fathers’ plan for a quickly reproducing witness and a quickly reproducing church could be the beginning of a rapid harvest among Syrian refugees. 

• Pray that they will see how sharing and disciple making with the expectation to immediately pass on what the Lord has for us, is how we can see a Syrian people come to believe the gospel NOW!

​

• Pray that the local church in all affected countries would be burdened with a desire to see all of those affected by this conflict, both internally displaced people and refugees, have an opportunity to hear and respond to the gospel and that they would catch the vision of multiplication amongst these peoples. And ask that new believers faced with ongoing and inevitable persecution would stand strong in their faith and be encouraged.
