July 20th - August 18th is Ramadan, the holiest time for a Muslim. Would you pray during these days for fellow Christians living in Islamic-dominated countries, for strength when they are harassed, for comfort when they are fearful, but most importantly that they may be emboldened to share the Gospel when possible?

"Blessed are they who suffer persecution for justice sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."

Day 29: August 17

The persecuted suffer for doing rigteousness and standing in the truth of Christ.

Those living across the globe in Comoros Islands, Djibouti, United Arab Emirates, and Brunei are suffering only becuase they stand on the truth of Christ, living their lives of righteousness.  Father, today hear their cries, strengthen them to remain bold in their faith and show Your glory in the midst of their suffering.
