Pray for Muslim-Background Believers
Thank you for joining us this month as we take up “The Invitation” and join together with thousands of YWAMers from around the world as we pray and hear from God. This month we will be praying for Muslim-Background Believers.

The Invitation, January 8, 2026
For more than thirty years, the YWAM-birthed prayer movement called 30 Days of Prayer for the Muslim World has sought to educate, enable and encourage Christians worldwide to pray for Muslim peoples as an act of love. And God has heard our prayers.
The focus of the 2026 guide is on Muslim people, from whom there are now radiant believers, sharing the gospel with their own or nearby Muslim people groups. We can celebrate that bringing the good news to Muslims is not just something done by foreigners from faraway countries; it is now the believers from Muslim backgrounds themselves who are key to transformation in their countries.
Please rejoice and pray with us right now. Also, please join us in prayer on January 8, the prayer day for the YWAM prayer initiative called The Invitation.
- Pray that many people who have prayed through the guide for years would be encouraged by the fruit of their prayers.
- Pray for the security of each of the believers mentioned in the guide. Even though each name has been changed, they are unique enough within their communities for them to be recognized.
- Pray for the funds necessary to produce the guide for the first time in Turkish! This alone shows the impact of prayer, that the Turkish church feels ready to intercede for the rest of the Muslim world.
- Pray for these Muslim-background witnesses, that God would keep them safe from persecution and would shine His light through their lives.
