80% of the world’s evangelical Christians live in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Over the last 50 years, God’s church has grown exponentially in these areas.

These regions have tremendous mission sending potential to help bring the gospel to unreached peoples, but they currently send only 20% of the world’s cross-cultural missionaries!

From March 10-April 9, Muslims around the world observe their holy month of Ramadan (RAH-muh-dahn). With your family, learn about and pray for Muslims during this period of fasting when many are seeking God in deeper ways. Read the story below. Then choose from the suggested activities to go deeper in learning about and praying for Muslims during Ramadan.
Hamid (hah-MEED) excitedly follows his father and older brothers to the mosque. He has joined in prayer with them before, but this time is different. At age 12, he is finally old enough to participate fully in the fast of Ramadan (RAH-muh-dahn), the most holy month on the Muslim calendar. As his stomach growls in protest, Hamid realizes it has been many hours since his pre-dawn meal of flatbread, dates, and tea. His stomach will just have to wait until sunset, the time he will enjoy a delicious meal with his family. But it is worth it. Hamid remembers his father&rsquo;s words: &ldquo;Fasting is an expression of our faith, a form of worship, and a way to please Allah.&rdquo; Entering the cool interior of the mosque with the others, Hamid imagines other Muslim families all around the world. Like him, they are observing the fast, praying with others in their community, and seeking to please Allah.
Meanwhile&hellip;
Steven is getting ready for bed. ​​After dinner, his family watched a video about Muslim children in Uzbekistan. As he lies in bed, Steven thinks about Uzbek boys and girls who do not understand that Jesus is God&rsquo;s Son. Instead of trusting in Jesus to forgive their sin and bring them into a relationship with God, they are taught to please God by doing good things&ndash; like not eating or drinking during the daytime for the whole month of Ramadan. Steven imagines how hungry he would have been at school and during baseball practice if he hadn&rsquo;t eaten all day.
Steven&rsquo;s parents come into his room and sit on the side of his bed. Together, they locate Uzbekistan on the world map hanging above Steven&rsquo;s desk. They begin to pray together. &ldquo;God, please help Muslim boys and girls in Uzbekistan to know you love them. Help them understand that Jesus died on the cross to remove their sin and make their hearts clean before God.&rdquo;
