The Back To Jerusalem Movement in China
[Day 24] For Wednesday, 24th August, Ramadan 2011. Praying in Faith, Hope and Love for the Muslim World…
In the 1940s God spoke to several Chinese believers about spreading the Gospel starting with the western Chinese province of Xinjiang through Muslim countries all the way to Jerusalem. They called themselves “The Preach Everywhere Gospel Band”; Western missionaries called them “The Back to Jerusalem Evangelistic Band.”
Cross-cultural outreach is still very young in China, yet some believers are praying continually about their role in reaching the Muslim nations with the Good News of the Kingdom.
Prayer ideas:
• Worship the Lord, Proclaim the truths of Isaiah 66:18-23 in prayer. May God open doors for many Chinese to proclaim his glory among the nations.
• Some Chinese believers have already made courageous efforts to proclaim their faith cross culturally but the results have not always been positive. There is a huge need for effective and in depth cross cultural outreach training for those who want to take the Gospel to other peoples. Training is a major priority. Zeal is not enough.

30 Days of Prayer during Ramadan
Spiritual Realities (1)
For Monday, 1st August, Ramadan 2011. Praying in Faith, Hope and Love for the Muslim World
Like all other peoples around the world, Muslims have to deal with certain evil, invisible spiritual realities. These negative spiritual realities are influencing and dominating Islamic civilization (as well as civilizations in general) (1 John 5:19). These forces can often be overcome by people who do things the opposite way (or “in the opposite spirit”).
Today and tomorrow we ask you to worship the Lord. Draw near to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from us. Then pray for the following subjects for yourself and Muslims in your town, region or country:
Where there is pride --- humility. Proverbs 8:13, 16:18, 29:23
Where there is legalism--- freedom. Mt 7:3-5
Where there is suspicion---trust. Acts 16:14
Jesus has shown us his way to do this through the cross. In his weakness he actually manifested strength. God has given us a commandment: “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good” (Romans 12:21).
In praying for Muslims and in living with them we need to exhibit the life of God. If we allow ourselves to be motivated by fear, self preservation, and suspicion instead of faith, hope and love we will not be able to bring the Gospel to Muslims.
