Wow, what an incredible week we had in Germany where God confirmed so many things! I'd love to sit with you some time to tell you about them :-)

At the end of this page is information to help you get started on prayer ideas for Ramadan (Sept 24-Oct 23)!

As always, I'm glad to have you with us. Have an awesome week! May God find us listening more attentively to His voice this week as I am,

+ You prayed for the gathering of colleagues to be a time of refreshment and renewal, especially in light of events in our part of the world...words fail to express how God refreshed and renewed us but, wow, did He ever! Thank you for praying!

CALENDAR UPDATES

23-26, Pray that this week will see us return to a routine as we re-establish relationships and help Jasmine prepare for 2nd grade before we leave again.

* We're making a lot more progress and believe it has to do with your fervent intercession! Jasmine has begun "Jasmine Elementary" (A Beka homeschool) and is catching on quickly.

27-31, Pray that these week’s gathering with co-workers will be encouraging and strategic for His Kingdom.

* Whoo-hoo!! Yes, it was!!

Dear praying friends:

As we approach our major prayer event for 2006 which coincides with Ramadan - September 24 - October 23, I want to pass along some resources to get you started:

1) An Idea for Praying in Groups:

- Want to pray with a group once per week or even one day to cover the whole 30 days of Ramadan? Here is a flexible idea to pray 30, 15, 5 or 3 minutes in groups for all the 30 days of Ramadan. That breaks down to 15, 7.5, 2.5 or just 1.5 hour slots - great for churches!

The proposal is that churches could run a whole day of prayer:

If you pray every 30 minutes for the daily prayer material, then the whole 30 days can be prayed for in 15 hours.

If you pray every 15 minutes for a day, then the whole 30 days can be prayed for in 7.5 hours.

Smaller prayer groups or home groups could cover the whole 30 Days in one evening:

1 day every 3 minutes means the whole 30 Days would be covered in 1.5 hours or

1 day every 5 minutes means the whole 30 Days would be covered in 2.5 hours

In no way is the idea to reduce the importance of praying for the full 30 Days. It is simply a way of engaging and involving a group of people - (particularly churches, prayer group or home groups) - that don't meet every day in praying for the Muslim World using the 30 Days material.
