Open Doors Launches Prayer Camapaign During Ramadan
With the start of the month-long Islamic fast called Ramadan beginning Aug. 1, Open Doors USA is launching a 30-day campaign urging Christians in the
West to pray for persecuted believers in Muslim-dominated
countries.
During August most Muslims will
fast from dawn until dusk, seeking to shed their sins through acts of restraint.
They believe this is a time of purification accomplished through good deeds and
self control.
“Ramadan is a
time when Christians are especially isolated in some Muslim-dominated
countries,” says Open Doors USA President/CEO Dr. Carl Moeller. “This is why it
is so important for us to unite in prayer for persecuted Christians throughout
the world. I urge you to use the Open Doors resources to pray for our brothers
and sisters.”
