Day 69 of my 6th Bible Study Journey Part 4
6) This come from Praying for Muslims in Canada 2015 (Is there a 2021 edition?)
Saskatchewan
Quick facts on Muslims in Saskatchewan
Saskatchewan 2015 population 1125400
est Muslim Population 17279
CNMM Networks: Saskatoon
Saskatoon has seen quick growth in its Muslim population over the past
5 years, which maybe as high as 5000 today. Islamic leaders have
focused specifically on this city , having twice already sent cohorts
of about 70 families to start mosques. There are now 7 Islamic centres
of worship and an ISlamic madrassah (school) located right next to a
Christian school.
Of particular concern recently is the number of young adults who grew up
in evangelical churches and converted to Islam. Most of these are young
women whowere wooed by Muslim man and became emotionally bonded.
Both prior to and after marrying, these women are known to convert to ISlam.
Agree in prayer with us for:
- entire congregations and individual believers to catch God's heart
and passion for reaching Muslims in Saskatoon and the other growing
Muslim population centres of Saskatchewan.
- for the eyes and understanding of Canadian youth to be opened to the
spiritual reality of Islam, and not deceived nor manipulated into
converting to a religion which cannot offer assurance of salvation.
- for the few workers among Muslims now engaged there, and for many more
to be raised up into effective witness.
- for prayer and training events that are starting in Saskatoon
to spread and grow to other cities.
Adding further
Pray for the Millet of Bulgaria
If you ask the Turkish-speaking Millet of Bulgaria, they will tell you
they don't know where they came from. The `Ottoman' Turks within
Bulgaria say they are not Turkish; the Roma of Bulgaria insist they
are not Roma. But there are more than 300,000 of this Muslim people
group living in Bulgaria.
The Millet experience severe marginalization, often living in
segregated neighborhoods. But not only does God know them; many Millet
now have a living relationship with God.
In the late 1980s and lasting through the mid-1990s, an awakening
broke out amongst the Millet, which God confirmed by many signs and
wonders. Thousands left Islam to follow Jesus and more than a hundred
churches were started.
Rahim was a city bus driver whose wife became very ill. There was no
adequate medicine or care for a Millet living in squalor so eventually
she died. The neighbourhood women came and began their wailing. The
noise and crying became unbearable for Rahim so he went outside,
despairing of how he would care for his children. After two hours of
mental agitation, he cried out the prayer that desperate Muslims often
direct to Jesus: "Ey Isa! Ey Isa!"
Rahim returned home a short time later and instead of wailing, there
was excited stirring: his wife was sitting upright, very much alive!
As Rahim gave glory to Jesus, his entire street believed. Many came
asking for prayer and they were often healed as well. A church was
started of people with no Biblical knowledge other than belief in a
Jesus who heals and a God who answers prayer.

How to Pray
Pray for more Millet people in Bulgaria to come to know Jesus.
Pray for the Millet believers in diaspora who now number more than
those still in Bulgaria. Ask God to use their passion for Jesus to
inspire others.
Pray for theological training opportunities for Millet pastors,
many of whom have had little education.
Pray that the youth in believing Millet families would make their
own personal commitments to Jesus.
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, ...) .
7) Prayers for the nation (Canada) coming from Prayer map of Canada

10th Day of the Month
a) Pray for Canadians from Coast to Coast to Coast, that the reality of
Jesus's sacrifice and love will touch them personally.
(
John 3:16
16 (Ro 5:8; 1Jn 4:9-10; Jn 1:18)
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have eternal life."
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that
whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
)
b) Pray for students, that the Lord will grant them protection of body,
soul, mind and spirit and fill them with godly desires and true hope.
Eight) Day 16 - God's new work often requires expanded faith.
Scripture: Isaiah 54:2–3
2 (Isa 49:19-20; Ex 35:18) Enlarge the place of your tent,
and let them stretch out the curtains of your habitations;
spare not,
lengthen your cords,
and strengthen your stakes.
3 (Isa 43:5-6) For you shall spread out to the right hand and to the left,
and your descendants shall inherit the nations
and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
[2] Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains
of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy
stakes;
[3] For thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy
seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
---
The promise in Isaiah 54:2-3 came to Israel post-exile, symbolising
restoration and expansion after barrenness. God invites His people to prepare
for abundance, not in complacency, but in active faith.
This applies to money and finance as a call to faithful expansion under God's
sovereignty. Financially, "enlarging your tent" means stepping out in
obedience to grow resources - starting a business, saving diligently,
or investing wisely - while trusting God's provision (Philippians 4:19). We
often "hold back" due to fear of failure or scarcity mindset, but Scripture
urges boldness: strengthen stakes through education, debt reduction,
and ethical practices (Proverbs 21:5). Spreading "to the right and left"
echoes God's blessing on Abraham (Genesis 22:17), reminding us that wealth is
for generational impact, dispossessing "desolate cities" through gospel
advancement and poverty alleviation.
We emphasise stewardship: money isn't ours, but God's (Psalm 24:1). Like the
parable of the talents (Matthew 25:14-30), we're called to multiply what He's
given, not bury it. Expansion isn't selfish ambition, but preparing for God's
outpouring - perhaps increased income for ministry or family legacy.
If finances feel confined, hear God's command: enlarge! Pray for vision, act
prudently, and anchor in faith. As you stretch, He'll fill the space with His
glory.

Prayer:
- Father, give me courage to enlarge my financial tent. Strengthen my stakes
in Your Word, and let me spread Your blessings. In Jesus' name, Amen.
