Week Of Prayer For Oman

Young Omanis have a desire for freedom. Pray that this search for freedom
will bring them to the Cross of Christ as they look for answers in the world around
them.
• The fear of evil spirits is a reality to most rural Omanis. They often carry out
practices to appease the spirits. Pray that God would release them from fear and
reveal Himself to them in dreams or visions.
• There are parts of Oman known for witchcraft. Pray that the many strongholds
of fear and shame will be broken by the power of Christ's finished work on the cross.
• The social media has come quickly to Oman. Pray that this media will be a means
for Omanis to be exposed to the Truth of Christ.
• Pray for the Christians who are working in Oman. Pray they will be open in their
faith and love for Christ and be able share it daily with Omanis.
• Many Omanis study abroad. Pray that Christians in these countries will reach out
to them with hospitality and love.
• Important decisions are made in families, clans, and tribes. Pray that whole
families would believe the Gospel.
• Many areas of Oman are almost completely untouched with the Gospel
message. Pray that God would call workers for these unreached areas. Pray that by 2014 every town and city in Oman will have been visited and prayed for by a prayer team.
• Praise the Lord for all those who believe in the Son and live in the Arabian Peninsula! They come from the all nations of the Arabian Peninsula and from countless
countries around the world. Omanis, however, are very few. Please pray for more
locals to hear the Good News, and give their hearts & lives to Jesus. Pray that a church of Omani believers will one day be there.
• Oman had a milder Arab Spring than some of its neighbors. The government
responded positively to those who raised issues. Universities and businesses responded to the demands brought to them. Young Arabs have a new voice, and they love
having a say in the affairs surrounding their lives. A new pride, open thoughts, and
energy are among the Omani young people. Pray that this openness will lead them to the cross.
