We are calling on the church to engage in prayer for our 1.8 billion Muslim neighbors during the most important Islamic month of religious observation — Ramadan, a month long celebration of self-restraint, and worship of Allah. A time where Muslims are heightened to dreams and visions and are seeking God more directly than usual.
Join us in a 30-day prayer effort April 2nd – May 1st, 2022 where you will learn more about Muslim cultures around the world, be challenged to consider the needs of the people you will read about, and then discover your calling as a follower of Christ to love them and share the good news of salvation with them.
Ways you can pray:
Our church planting partner in Southeast Asia provided a way to actively pray alongside their ministry. Join us in partnering in prayer with our partner by downloading this pdf. (Attach PDF)
In 2021, we were encouraged to download the Joshua Project app to begin praying for unreached people groups around the world. Not all the people groups highlighted in the app will be Muslim, but use this time to form a habit to continue praying for unreached and unengaged people groups around the world for the rest of the year.
We also suggest using the 30 days of prayer website and booklets at www.pray30days.org
If want to pray for additional people groups contact our Mobilization Team at missions@fielder.org for physical booklets.

Fast Weekly
During the season of lent, we have been fasting for 24-hours from Tuesday evening to Wednesday. We would love for you to continue to practice this disciple throughout the season of Ramadan, crying out to the Lord to draw Muslims all around the world to Himself.
Night of Power
The last ten days of Ramadan are considered highly blessed, especially the 27th night which is called laylat al-qadr – the “Night of Power,” or the “Night of Destiny.” It is believed that on this night the prophet Muhammed received the first revelation of the Qur’an. Muslims believe that anything done for Allah during this night earns exponentially more good works to tip the scale in their favor for eternity. Because of this belief, this is the night when the most prayers are recited, the Qur’an is most rigorously read, and the mosques are filled the most.
Christians and missionaries around the world will also pray on this night that those who are seeking to know God would have dreams and visions seek after Jesus the Messiah. Let’s utilize this time to gather and pray that God would truly reveal himself. We encourage you to utilize this virtual prayer experience on April 28th to hear from some of our workers serving in Muslim areas as well as some former Muslims who are now believers.
