Fact: According to the Joshua Project, the world’s population of Muslims is estimated at over 1.8 billion. (With a “B.”) That’s 23.9% of the globe. Out of 3,734 people groups, 3,191 (85.5%) remain unreached with the love and hope of Jesus.
Which means that currently, they will never hear of it.
Yet PrayerCast reports that more Muslims have turned to follow Jesus in the past 15 years than in the previous 1400 years combined.
In his fierce love, God is moving among Muslims.
How could you make Muslims a regular prayer focus?

A Few ideas:
Choose one day a month to pray, and even fast, for these groups. (You could choose the 18th day to remember the 1.8 billion.)
Choose one prayer request a day, starting again when you’ve prayed through the list.
Choose one day a week to pray for Muslims.
Fast for the Muslim world during Ramadan, and/or pray daily using PrayerCasts’ daily Ramadan prayer videos in your inbox.
Pray using PrayerCast’s weekly prayer videos delivered to your inbox.
