Leviticus 21
Rules for Priestly Conduct
1 (Eze 44:25; Lev 10:6–7) Then the Lord said to Moses: Speak to the priests,
the sons of Aaron, and say to them: None shall make himself unclean
for the dead among his people,
2 but for his closest relatives, that is, for his mother, his father,
his son, his daughter, his brother,
3 and his virgin sister (who is near him because she has not had a husband),
for her he may be made unclean.
4 And he shall not make himself unclean as a husband among his people
because of the dead and so defile himself.
5 (Dt 14:1; Eze 44:20; Lev 19:27–28) They shall not make bald areas
on their heads, nor shall they shave off the edges of their beards,
nor make any cuts in their flesh.
6 (Lev 3:11; 18:21) They shall be holy unto their God,
and not profane the name of their God;
for they offer the offerings of the Lord made by fire,
and the food of their God. Therefore they shall be holy.
7 (Lev 21:13–14; Eze 44:22) They shall not take a wife
who is a whore or has been defiled, nor shall they take
a woman divorced from her husband, for he is holy unto his God.
8 (Lev 21:6) You shall sanctify him, for he offers the food
of your God. He shall be holy to you, for I the Lord,
who sanctifies you, am holy.
9 (Ge 38:24) The daughter of any priest,
if she defiles herself by being a whore, she also defiles her father.
She shall be burned with fire.
10 (Lev 10:6–7; 16:32) He who is the high priest among his brothers,
on whose head the anointing oil was poured
and who is consecrated to wear the garments,
shall not dishevel his hair, nor tear his clothes;
11 (Nu 19:14; Lev 19:28; 21:1–2) nor shall he approach any dead body,
nor make himself unclean, even for his father or his mother;
12 (Lev 10:7; Ex 29:6–7) nor shall he go out of the sanctuary,
so as not to defile the sanctuary of his God,
for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is upon him:
I am the Lord.
13 (Lev 21:7; Eze 44:22) He shall take a wife in her virginity.
14 (Lev 21:7_ A widow, or a divorced woman, or a defiled woman,
or a prostitute, these he shall not marry. But he shall take
for a wife a virgin of his own people,
15 so that he does not defile his offspring among his people,
for I am the Lord who sanctifies him.
16 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
17 (Lev 10:3; Nu 16:5) Speak to Aaron, saying:
None of your offspring in their generations
who has any blemish may approach to offer the food of his God.
18 (Lev 22:19–25) For whoever has a blemish, he shall not approach,
whether a blind or lame man, or one who has a physical flaw
on his face or a limb that is too long,
19 or a man who has a broken foot or broken hand,
20 (Dt 23:1) or a hunchback, or a dwarf, or who has a defect in his eye,
or eczema or scabs, or is a eunuch.
21 (Lev 21:6) No man who has a blemish from the offspring of Aaron
the priest shall come near to offer the food offerings of the Lord
made by fire. He has a blemish; he shall not come near to offer
the bread of his God.
22 (Lev 2:3; 2:10) He shall eat the food of his God,
both of the most holy and of the holy.
23 (Lev 21:12) Only he shall not go in through the veil
or come to the altar, because he has a blemish, so that
he does not defile My sanctuaries, for I am the Lord who sanctifies them.
24 Moses spoke this to Aaron, and to his sons,
and to all the children of Israel.

entitled We’re Not God
Ezekiel 28:1–10
Ezekiel 28
A Prophecy Against the King of Tyre
1 The word of the Lord came again to me, saying:
2 (Eze 28:9; 2Th 2:4; Isa 31:3) Son of man, say to the leader of Tyre,
Thus says the Lord God:
Because your heart is lifted up,
and you have said, “I am a god;
I sit in the seat of gods
in the midst of the seas,â€
yet you are a man, and not God,
though you set your heart as the heart of God.
3 (Da 1:20; 5:11–12) You are wiser than Daniel;
there is no secret that is a match for you.
4 With your wisdom and with your understanding,
you have obtained riches for yourself,
and have obtained gold and silver
into your treasuries;
5 (Ps 62:10; 52:7) by your great wisdom, by your trade,
you have increased your riches,
and your heart is lifted up
because of your riches.
6 (Eze 28:2; Ex 9:17) Therefore thus says the Lord God:
Because you have set your heart
as the heart of God,
7 (Eze 31:12; 30:11) therefore, I will bring strangers upon you,
the most cruel of the nations;
and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom,
and defile your brightness.
8 (Eze 27:26–27; 27:34) They shall bring you down to the pit,
and you shall die the death of those who are slain
in the midst of the seas.
9 (Eze 28:2) Will you yet say before him who slays you,
"I am a god,:
although you are a man and not God,
in the hands of those who wound you?
10Eze 31:18; 32:19 You shall die the death of the uncircumcised
by the hand of strangers;
for I have spoken! says the Lord God.
In Mere Christianity, C. S. Lewis recommended asking ourselves
some questions to find out if we’re proud: "How much do I dislike
it when other people snub me, or refuse to take any notice of me,
. . . or patronize me, or show off?" Lewis saw pride as a vice
of the "utmost evil" and the chief cause of misery in homes
and nations. He called it a "spiritual cancer" that eats up
the very possibility of love, contentment, and even common sense.
Pride has been a problem throughout the ages. Through the prophet
Ezekiel, God warned the leader of the powerful coastal city of Tyre
against his pride. He said the king's pride would result in his downfall:
"Because you think you are . . . as wise as a god, I am going to bring
foreigners against you" (Ezekiel 28:6–7).
Then he would know he wasn't a god, but a mortal (v. 9).
In contrast to pride is humility, which Lewis named
as a virtue we receive through knowing God.
Lewis said that as we get in touch with Him,
we become "delightedly humble," feeling relieved
to be rid of the silly nonsense about our own dignity
that previously made us restless and unhappy.
The more we worship God, the more we'll know Him
and the more we can humble ourselves before Him.
May we be those who love and serve with joy and humility.
By: Amy Boucher Pye
Reflect & Pray
How did you answer Lewis' questions about
whether or not you're proud? Did that surprise you? Why or why not?
Almighty God, help me to revel in my identity as one You created,
knowing You are great and mighty and yet You love me.

3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation
Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools
Week 2 - Saved by Grace - Day 5 - Starting Over
2 Cor 5:17
17 (Jn 3:3; Ro 16:7) Therefore, if any man is in Christ,
he is a new creature. Old things have passed away.
Look, all things have become new.
"The trouble with turning over a new leaf," Gordon sighed,
"is that once you've done it twice, you're right back where
you started." Gordon, in his mid-fifties, had his job
"canceled" by a company wanting to cut back on retirement payments.
Out of work, with few prospects, he said wistfully,
"I wish I had the chance to start over again."
Many of us would echo Gordon's sentiments. Whether we have lost a job,
gone through a divorce, moved to another part of the country, or
experienced some lesser crisis, we often long for the chance to
begin again, fresh, without the shadow of past mistakes following us.
God's word offers just such an opportunity. Anyone who is in Christ,
Paul says in 2 Cor 5:17, is a "new creation". For the Christian, the past
is truly past - "all things are become new". In the forgiveness
and restoration of God's grace we can leave the past behind,
with all its mistakes, and enter into new life.
And the promise is not just for the newly saved. Those of us who
have been Christians for years need to hear the truth of 2 Cor 5:17 again,
for we accumulated some "new mistakes" since we came to Christ. Anyone who
is in Christ is a new creation; the freedom of forgiveness, of
"starting over" is available to all who call upon the name of the Lord.
We cannot every really "start over" simply by establishing New Year's
resolutions or turning over a new leaf. Only God gives us that opportunity;
his grace allows us to clear away the rubble of the past and begin again.
Everything becomes new in God's loving forgiveness.
Application
a) What "resolutions" have I made in an attempt to "start over"
in some area of struggle or failure in my life? Did my resolutions work?
b) What does 2 Cor 5:!7 mean for me at this point in my Crhsitian Life?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Mark 4:20-25
20 (Mk 4:8; Jn 15:4–5) "Still others are seed sown on good ground,
those who hear the word, and receive it, and bear fruit:
thirty, sixty, or a hundred times as much."
A Light Under a Basket
Lk 8:16–18
21 (Mt 5:15; Lk 8:16) He said to them, "Is a candle brought to be put
under a basket or under a bed and not to be set on a candlestick?
22 (Lk 8:17) For there is nothing hidden except to be revealed;
neither is anything kept secret except to be proclaimed.
23 (Mk 4:9; Mt 11:15)If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."
24 (Mt 7:2) He said to them, "Take heed what you hear.
The measure you give will be measured for you,
and to you who hear will more be given.
25 (Mt 13:12; Lk 8:18) For to him who has will more be given.
And from him who has not will be taken, even what he has."
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
God's Help in Times of Temptation
Hebrews 4:14-16
Jesus the Great High Priest
14 (Heb 6:20; 1:2–3) Since then we have a great High Priest
who has passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God,
let us hold firmly to our confession.
15 (2Co 5:21; Jn 8:46) For we do not have a High Priest
who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses,
but One who was in every sense tempted like we are, yet without sin.
16 (Eph 3:12; Php 4:6–7) Let us then come with confidence
to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy
and find grace to help in time of need.
Remember God's promises when You pray
The Lord's prayer
Matthew 6:9-13
9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."
6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)
Alberta
Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta
Alberta 2015 population 4121700
est Muslim Population 195240
CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton
It is estimated that Calgary has 82000 Muslims and Edmonton another 50000 .
Alberta may have a total as hihg as 195240 today.
Calgary is notable as the first Canadian city with a Muslim mayor. It's
become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.
Edmonton's Muslim population is very diverse, with the legrest group
coming from Tanzania, followed by Somalia, and then North African countries
such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.
Muslims are coming to faith in JEsus! They overcome huge spiritual,
emotional and cultural hurdles to follow Christ. Yet their challenges still
continue, especially in growing in discpleship. They often fell lost in our
Western congreations, and euqally lost trying to find a church body with whom
they can identify. some are even being lured into Christian cult groups.
Please join us in praying for:
- The church to reach out to the growing Muslim populations in Alberta.
- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to
Muslim-background believers.
- for Muslm-background believers to be well grounded spiritually and socially
in their faith and the Church.
- and for Muslim-background believers to share their faith with their
not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.
- for Farsi and Arabic fellowships to grow in spiritual maturity and outreach.
- for current and new workers among Muslims in these growing Muslim
in these growing Muslim population centres.
Adding further
30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020
Under the Keep Praying page
When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,
"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even on My menservants and maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]
Footnotes
Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the
house."
Ideas for prayer
- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people -
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!

Leviticus 21
Rules for Priestly Conduct
1 (Eze 44:25; Lev 10:6–7) Then the Lord said to Moses: Speak to the priests,
the sons of Aaron, and say to them: None shall make himself unclean
for the dead among his people,
2 but for his closest relatives, that is, for his mother, his father,
his son, his daughter, his brother,
3 and his virgin sister (who is near him because she has not had a husband),
for her he may be made unclean.
4 And he shall not make himself unclean as a husband among his people
because of the dead and so defile himself.
5 (Dt 14:1; Eze 44:20; Lev 19:27–28) They shall not make bald areas
on their heads, nor shall they shave off the edges of their beards,
nor make any cuts in their flesh.
6 (Lev 3:11; 18:21) They shall be holy unto their God,
and not profane the name of their God;
for they offer the offerings of the Lord made by fire,
and the food of their God. Therefore they shall be holy.
7 (Lev 21:13–14; Eze 44:22) They shall not take a wife
who is a whore or has been defiled, nor shall they take
a woman divorced from her husband, for he is holy unto his God.
8 (Lev 21:6) You shall sanctify him, for he offers the food
of your God. He shall be holy to you, for I the Lord,
who sanctifies you, am holy.
9 (Ge 38:24) The daughter of any priest,
if she defiles herself by being a whore, she also defiles her father.
She shall be burned with fire.
10 (Lev 10:6–7; 16:32) He who is the high priest among his brothers,
on whose head the anointing oil was poured
and who is consecrated to wear the garments,
shall not dishevel his hair, nor tear his clothes;
11 (Nu 19:14; Lev 19:28; 21:1–2) nor shall he approach any dead body,
nor make himself unclean, even for his father or his mother;
12 (Lev 10:7; Ex 29:6–7) nor shall he go out of the sanctuary,
so as not to defile the sanctuary of his God,
for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is upon him:
I am the Lord.
13 (Lev 21:7; Eze 44:22) He shall take a wife in her virginity.
14 (Lev 21:7_ A widow, or a divorced woman, or a defiled woman,
or a prostitute, these he shall not marry. But he shall take
for a wife a virgin of his own people,
15 so that he does not defile his offspring among his people,
for I am the Lord who sanctifies him.
16 The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
17 (Lev 10:3; Nu 16:5) Speak to Aaron, saying:
None of your offspring in their generations
who has any blemish may approach to offer the food of his God.
18 (Lev 22:19–25) For whoever has a blemish, he shall not approach,
whether a blind or lame man, or one who has a physical flaw
on his face or a limb that is too long,
19 or a man who has a broken foot or broken hand,
20 (Dt 23:1) or a hunchback, or a dwarf, or who has a defect in his eye,
or eczema or scabs, or is a eunuch.
21 (Lev 21:6) No man who has a blemish from the offspring of Aaron
the priest shall come near to offer the food offerings of the Lord
made by fire. He has a blemish; he shall not come near to offer
the bread of his God.
22 (Lev 2:3; 2:10) He shall eat the food of his God,
both of the most holy and of the holy.
23 (Lev 21:12) Only he shall not go in through the veil
or come to the altar, because he has a blemish, so that
he does not defile My sanctuaries, for I am the Lord who sanctifies them.
24 Moses spoke this to Aaron, and to his sons,
and to all the children of Israel.

entitled We’re Not God
Ezekiel 28:1–10
Ezekiel 28
A Prophecy Against the King of Tyre
1 The word of the Lord came again to me, saying:
2 (Eze 28:9; 2Th 2:4; Isa 31:3) Son of man, say to the leader of Tyre,
Thus says the Lord God:
Because your heart is lifted up,
and you have said, “I am a god;
I sit in the seat of gods
in the midst of the seas,â€
yet you are a man, and not God,
though you set your heart as the heart of God.
3 (Da 1:20; 5:11–12) You are wiser than Daniel;
there is no secret that is a match for you.
4 With your wisdom and with your understanding,
you have obtained riches for yourself,
and have obtained gold and silver
into your treasuries;
5 (Ps 62:10; 52:7) by your great wisdom, by your trade,
you have increased your riches,
and your heart is lifted up
because of your riches.
6 (Eze 28:2; Ex 9:17) Therefore thus says the Lord God:
Because you have set your heart
as the heart of God,
7 (Eze 31:12; 30:11) therefore, I will bring strangers upon you,
the most cruel of the nations;
and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom,
and defile your brightness.
8 (Eze 27:26–27; 27:34) They shall bring you down to the pit,
and you shall die the death of those who are slain
in the midst of the seas.
9 (Eze 28:2) Will you yet say before him who slays you,
"I am a god,:
although you are a man and not God,
in the hands of those who wound you?
10Eze 31:18; 32:19 You shall die the death of the uncircumcised
by the hand of strangers;
for I have spoken! says the Lord God.
In Mere Christianity, C. S. Lewis recommended asking ourselves
some questions to find out if we’re proud: "How much do I dislike
it when other people snub me, or refuse to take any notice of me,
. . . or patronize me, or show off?" Lewis saw pride as a vice
of the "utmost evil" and the chief cause of misery in homes
and nations. He called it a "spiritual cancer" that eats up
the very possibility of love, contentment, and even common sense.
Pride has been a problem throughout the ages. Through the prophet
Ezekiel, God warned the leader of the powerful coastal city of Tyre
against his pride. He said the king's pride would result in his downfall:
"Because you think you are . . . as wise as a god, I am going to bring
foreigners against you" (Ezekiel 28:6–7).
Then he would know he wasn't a god, but a mortal (v. 9).
In contrast to pride is humility, which Lewis named
as a virtue we receive through knowing God.
Lewis said that as we get in touch with Him,
we become "delightedly humble," feeling relieved
to be rid of the silly nonsense about our own dignity
that previously made us restless and unhappy.
The more we worship God, the more we'll know Him
and the more we can humble ourselves before Him.
May we be those who love and serve with joy and humility.
By: Amy Boucher Pye
Reflect & Pray
How did you answer Lewis' questions about
whether or not you're proud? Did that surprise you? Why or why not?
Almighty God, help me to revel in my identity as one You created,
knowing You are great and mighty and yet You love me.

3) Daily verses taken from Billy Graham Evangelical Organisation
Words in Season Scripture Memory Tools
Week 2 - Saved by Grace - Day 5 - Starting Over
2 Cor 5:17
17 (Jn 3:3; Ro 16:7) Therefore, if any man is in Christ,
he is a new creature. Old things have passed away.
Look, all things have become new.
"The trouble with turning over a new leaf," Gordon sighed,
"is that once you've done it twice, you're right back where
you started." Gordon, in his mid-fifties, had his job
"canceled" by a company wanting to cut back on retirement payments.
Out of work, with few prospects, he said wistfully,
"I wish I had the chance to start over again."
Many of us would echo Gordon's sentiments. Whether we have lost a job,
gone through a divorce, moved to another part of the country, or
experienced some lesser crisis, we often long for the chance to
begin again, fresh, without the shadow of past mistakes following us.
God's word offers just such an opportunity. Anyone who is in Christ,
Paul says in 2 Cor 5:17, is a "new creation". For the Christian, the past
is truly past - "all things are become new". In the forgiveness
and restoration of God's grace we can leave the past behind,
with all its mistakes, and enter into new life.
And the promise is not just for the newly saved. Those of us who
have been Christians for years need to hear the truth of 2 Cor 5:17 again,
for we accumulated some "new mistakes" since we came to Christ. Anyone who
is in Christ is a new creation; the freedom of forgiveness, of
"starting over" is available to all who call upon the name of the Lord.
We cannot every really "start over" simply by establishing New Year's
resolutions or turning over a new leaf. Only God gives us that opportunity;
his grace allows us to clear away the rubble of the past and begin again.
Everything becomes new in God's loving forgiveness.
Application
a) What "resolutions" have I made in an attempt to "start over"
in some area of struggle or failure in my life? Did my resolutions work?
b) What does 2 Cor 5:!7 mean for me at this point in my Crhsitian Life?
4) From Prosperity Promises - Kenneth Copeland
Mark 4:20-25
20 (Mk 4:8; Jn 15:4–5) "Still others are seed sown on good ground,
those who hear the word, and receive it, and bear fruit:
thirty, sixty, or a hundred times as much."
A Light Under a Basket
Lk 8:16–18
21 (Mt 5:15; Lk 8:16) He said to them, "Is a candle brought to be put
under a basket or under a bed and not to be set on a candlestick?
22 (Lk 8:17) For there is nothing hidden except to be revealed;
neither is anything kept secret except to be proclaimed.
23 (Mk 4:9; Mt 11:15)If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear."
24 (Mt 7:2) He said to them, "Take heed what you hear.
The measure you give will be measured for you,
and to you who hear will more be given.
25 (Mt 13:12; Lk 8:18) For to him who has will more be given.
And from him who has not will be taken, even what he has."
5) From a Book called God's Promises for you:
God's Help in Times of Temptation
Hebrews 4:14-16
Jesus the Great High Priest
14 (Heb 6:20; 1:2–3) Since then we have a great High Priest
who has passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God,
let us hold firmly to our confession.
15 (2Co 5:21; Jn 8:46) For we do not have a High Priest
who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses,
but One who was in every sense tempted like we are, yet without sin.
16 (Eph 3:12; Php 4:6–7) Let us then come with confidence
to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy
and find grace to help in time of need.
Remember God's promises when You pray
The Lord's prayer
Matthew 6:9-13
9 "Therefore pray in this manner:
Our Father who is in heaven,
hallowed be Your name.
10 (Mt 3:2; 4:17) Your kingdom come;
Your will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven.
11 (Pr 30:8; Isa 33:16) Give us this day our daily bread.
12 (Ex 34:7; Ps 32:1) And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
13 (1Co 10:13; Jn 17:15) And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen."
6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)
Alberta
Quick facts on Muslims in Alberta
Alberta 2015 population 4121700
est Muslim Population 195240
CNMM Networks: Calgary and Edmonton
It is estimated that Calgary has 82000 Muslims and Edmonton another 50000 .
Alberta may have a total as hihg as 195240 today.
Calgary is notable as the first Canadian city with a Muslim mayor. It's
become a prominent place of Islamic fundamentalism.
Edmonton's Muslim population is very diverse, with the legrest group
coming from Tanzania, followed by Somalia, and then North African countries
such as Egypt, Morocco, etc.
Muslims are coming to faith in JEsus! They overcome huge spiritual,
emotional and cultural hurdles to follow Christ. Yet their challenges still
continue, especially in growing in discpleship. They often fell lost in our
Western congreations, and euqally lost trying to find a church body with whom
they can identify. some are even being lured into Christian cult groups.
Please join us in praying for:
- The church to reach out to the growing Muslim populations in Alberta.
- for Canadian churches to start contextualised discipleship ministries to
Muslim-background believers.
- for Muslm-background believers to be well grounded spiritually and socially
in their faith and the Church.
- and for Muslim-background believers to share their faith with their
not-yet-believing family and friendship networks.
- for Farsi and Arabic fellowships to grow in spiritual maturity and outreach.
- for current and new workers among Muslims in these growing Muslim
in these growing Muslim population centres.

30 days of prayer for the Muslim World 24 April to 23 May 2020
Under the Keep Praying page
When the new moon is sighted it marks the beginning of t he new Islamic month
and Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast", will start! After 30 days
of fasting, the Eid celebration at the end of Ramadan is a joyful time that
usually lasts about 3 days. Muslims will buy new clothes, exchange gifts and,
of course, enjoy special foods. In Muslim-majority nations, the streets may be
decorated and festivals will be held.
For many Muslims, Eid-al-Fitr begins with communal prayers at daybreak and the
distribution of money (zakat) to the poor, which is one of the 5 pillars of
Islam.
You can greet Muslim friends during this time by saying "Eid Mubarak",
which means Blessed Eid!"
Ramadan is over for this year, but you can continue to pray for Muslims you
know, and Muslims around the world:
- Despite the unsettling developments in our world today that involve actions
in the name of Islam, there is at the same time a largely untold story about
unprecedented movement to Christ among Muslims. There have been more such
movements of thousands or more new disciples among Muslims in the last three
decades or so than in all the previous history of Christian Muslim
relationships! Pray for this momentum to continue.
Acts 2:12-17 : 17 "In the last days it shall be," says God,
"that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.
18 Even on My menservants and maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days; and they shall prophesy.
19 And I will show wonders in heaven above and signs on the earth below:
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness,
and the moon into blood, before that great and glorious day of the Lord comes.
21 And whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved."[a]
Footnotes
Acts 2:21 Joel 2:28-32.
- Pray for Christian workers an organisations focused on seeing effective
discipleship movements among Muslim people.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to continue to inspire you to have god's heart for
Muslims, to see them as He does, and to be the light that then to Jesus.
Matthew 5:14-15 : 14 "You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a
hill cannot be hidden. 15 Neither do men light a candle and put it under
a basket, but on a candlestick. And it gives light to all who are in the
house."
Ideas for prayer
- Pray for opportunities to show the love of Christ to Muslims around you
- Pray for, and offer generous hospitality to, those you know who are serving
Christ among Muslim people -
Romans 12:13 "contribute to the needs of the saints, practice hospitality."
- When you gather with fellow believers, remember to pray for Muslims
throughout the year and encourage them to also participate in 30 Days!
My paternal side is of Muslim heritage and will offer this section to further
call for Muslim converts to Christian and any other converts to Christianity
(Hindus, Jews, aboriginals Canadian, ...) .
