Arabian Viewpoint

Who are they really?
Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. - Proverbs 31:30 ESV

Viewpoint: Fran was apprehensive when she first saw the Arabian couple moving in next door. Fran knows and loves people from many cultures, but in this case, she wondered whether she could ever relate to the stern-looking man and the lady covered in black. One day, Fran passed by the couple outside and decided to say hello. To her surprise, they stopped to chat for a few minutes. The man mentioned that his wife would like to practice her English. The lady didn’t say much, but Fran could see from her eyes that she was smiling behind her veil. Fran offered to help and received an invitation to visit. When Fran finally sat down with her neighbor Aisha face to face, she realized that they had much more in common than she’d expected. Fran and Aisha meet every week. As their relationship has developed, Fran has had multiple opportunities to share the Gospel and describe how her faith in Christ has impacted her life.

Prayer Point: Half of the Arabian population is female. To Westerners, these women in black robes may seem distant and unknowable. However, they share many of the same hopes, dreams, loves, and fears as women everywhere. *Pray that God will enable believers to share Christ’s love and truth with Arabian women wherever they are. *

Ramadan Cal 2026
Pre-Ramadan

“Sing to the Lord, bless his name; tell of his salvation from day to day. Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous works among all the peoples!” - Psalm 96:2-3 ESV

Viewpoint: The beginning of Ramadan starts around February 18th this year. Because Muslims use a lunar calendar for the months. So, Ramadan is the name of one of their months. During this month, Muslims not only fast during daylight hours; but also focus on prayer and reading the Qur'an. Will you join us in praying daily for the Arabian people throughout Ramadan, asking God to set them free from Islam and open their eyes to His true character and work through Jesus Christ?

Prayer points: Pray that as Arabians and Muslims worldwide prepare for Ramadan, God will prepare their hearts and minds to receive Him. Pray that as Muslims desire to seek God and grow closer to Him, God will reveal Himself to them, through Jesus Christ. Pray that followers of Jesus will have many opportunities during Ramadan to share who Jesus is.

The month of Ramadan will begin next week. You'll receive weekly posts just like normal, but if you would like to get the prayer calendar, which will have daily prayer requests you can email us at [email protected] and we’ll send it to you.
