Your Prayers can Change History

Defining moments come our way seldom, but today we have the opportunity to change history through prayer. About 2 million Islamic refugees have fled to Europe within the last year. While governments are reeling with the challenges of integration and resettlement Christians are reaping a harvest for the Master. Because they have been in countries that are virtual prisons, ruled by fanatical Islamists who believe they can force people under threat of death to follow Muhammed, the new freedoms they are finding in Europe are allowing them to make choices for themselves, and they are departing Islam in droves.

Our brethren across Europe are befriending them, telling them the lies they have been taught since birth about Christians hating them are not true. Churches are hosting them for meals and informational gatherings where the refugees are hearing the gospel for the first time and many are responding. In Greece, they are averaging one new convert every single day and in Austria, Germany, France, Belgium and the Netherlands, Christians are meeting them in parks and market squares and telling them about Jesus.

Never before have we had this opportunity. Never in history has there been such an opportunity to teach the Islamic world about the Christ. If we can mobilize every church that belongs to the Lord to pray for conversion of these Islamic refugees and support our European brethren through prayer, we can contribute directly to the saving of thousands and demise of the threat of Islam. Will you pray daily? I ask those who lead us in public prayer in our churches to never forget to ask God for guidance as we do His will in this matter. Pray, Pray, Pray!
