Ramadan Guinea Prayer

30 Ways for Muslims to encounter Christ

After 30 days of fasting, the end of the month of Ramadan is observed with a day of celebration, called Eid-al-Fitr or “Korité” in Guinea. On this day, Muslims go to the mosque for special prayers It is traditional to wear new clothes as a sign of a new beginning.  They visit friends and relatives and eat a special meal. It is a time to seek forgiveness for any wrongdoings done in the past year and the person gives you his or her blessing and sometimes an envelope with money in it. Pray for Muslims to experience the cleansing and forgiveness that only comes from the shed blood of Christ.

Our Treasure in Jesus

God, we love you! As your Church help us do what it takes to let the people of Guinea grasp the Good News that Jesus has forgiven us totally and leads us to forgive and be forgiven by others! 

Testimonies from Guinea

I am a twenty-three year old woman. My family situation is very difficult, especially with my father and I finally ran away. I went through some very hard circumstances. One day a friend introduced me to a Christian family. They welcomed me and told me about the Messiah. They said, “The Messiah is able to help you in your suffering.” Later, I got online and was looking for a solution to my problems. Again, I was shocked to find information about the Messiah. I met Christians and they prayed with me a lot. One day I woke up and I had such joy in my heart. I heard a voice say, “Accept the Messiah. Accept the Messiah.” I accepted Christ and was filled with the Holy Spirit. I felt new life come into my body and fill me with strength and renew my soul. Within a week, God began to prompt me to forgive my father. 

Pray that God will give faith to trust Him and forgive her father. Pray for others who are bound by the slavery of bitterness and unforgiveness. Pray that Guinean believers will open their homes and their hearts to suffering people.

Biblical Prayers

“Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” Hebrews 13:2 ESV

Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.Ephesians 4:32

Lord Jesus, give Guinean believers eyes to see the needs of people around them and invite them in, knowing that they are actually inviting you and entertaining angels! May their hospitality and their words be a witness of your love and your eternal welcome. May they forgive others to the immense extent that they have been forgiven by you.

Claiming Our Hope in Christ and His Heart for the Nations

Holy Father, Sovereign God, we give thanks for your mercies, please make them new every morning in Guinea. Lord, we ask for your divine intervention: Would you lead movement practitioners to people of peace and then help those persons of peace establish new gospel-centered communities. Lord, you are the vine from which all life comes, mature those emerging communities into being New Testament churches with baptized believers obeying all the commands of Christ. May we see disciples who make disciples, leaders who make leaders, groups that start groups, and churches that plant churches. May your glory increase in Guinea through the obedience and love of your followers. And may a gospel movement cover this nation, transforming it from the inside out, and impacting the entire Muslim world.

Amen
