"For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith 
and pierced themselves with many griefs."
- 1 Timothy 6:10 (NIV)
 
Materialism blinds people from seeing their spiritual and emotional neediness. 
Arabs have a heritage of being fatherless in that Abraham, the father of Ishmael, sent his son away (Genesis 21:9-14).  Pray for restoration of fellowship with the Father of the fatherless (Psalm 68:5), that Emiratis would see their neediness and ask questions, and that the Father would reveal eternal truth. 
 
Pray for the leaders of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to have wisdom and tolerance, allowing citizens to change their faith. Pray for the government to be able to keep the country safe from insurgent/terrorist groups and provide policies that encourage young people to be motivated to work hard for the good of their country. Pray for the UAE's relationships with other countries in the region, like Iran (tension over disputed islands). Pray for further disillusionment with Islam and rejection of the radical groups that would lead to discovery of the Truth that will set them free! 
Pray for unity, not uniformity, among the expat churches in the UAE. Pray the churches will partner together for the sake of the gospel. Pray for the Lord to send mature and capable leaders to disciple the many international believers who come to faith in the UAE and for solid Bible teaching. Pray for the churches to share their faith with locals so that indigenous fellowships of believers will arise in the cities and villages of the UAE. 
Pray Christian workers will be not be distracted by the materialism, comforts and amenities in the UAE. Pray for Christians serving intentionally in the UAE to be people of prayer, asking God to move miraculously in this land. Pray Christians will seek and find new avenues and opportunities to engage with locals as the country changes politically, economically and culturally.

Bless the leaders of the UAE as they seek to understand how to protect their own land from Daesh (IS) and other forms of militant Islam.
Bless the government of UAE because they allow expatriates to worship freely in many locations across the country.

PTAP: UAE Ramadan

United Arab Emirates, Arabian Peninsula

Day 21 - July 8, 2015 As Muslims are praying and fasting during Ramadan, we pray for them.
I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut.
For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
Christians in the UAE are asking us to pray Revelation 3:8a and 1 Timothy 6:10 with them.


Pray that the leaders of the UAE will have wisdom and tolerance, even allowing citizens to change their faith. Pray for the government to be able to keep the country safe from insurgent/terrorist groups and provide policies that encourage young people to be more motivated to work hard for the good of their country. Pray for the UAE's relationships with other countries in the region, like Iran (tension over disputed islands). Pray for further disillusionment with Islam and rejection of the radical groups that would lead to discovery of the truth that will set them free!

The number one prayer is for unity, not uniformity, among the expat churches in the UAE. Pray that they will partner together for the sake of the gospel. Pray for the Lord to send mature and capable leaders to disciple the many new believers who come to faith in the UAE and for sound Bible teaching.

Pray for the church people to be taught to share their faith with locals so that an indigenous church will arise in the major cities and villages of the UAE.

Pray that workers will be united and focused on the important things and not be distracted by the materialism, comforts and amenities in the UAE. May we first be people of prayer, asking God to move miraculously in our land. Pray we will seek and find new avenues and opportunities to engage local people as the country changes politically, economically and culturally. Source: Christians in UAE

There is a new book that can be found in bookstores across the United Arab Emirates. Reverend Thompson of Abu Dhabi wrote it, and the book is fully approved by the ruling UAE family, even including a forward by Sheikh Nahayan. The book is called Jesus of Arabia, and it presents many stories of Jesus in an Arab context. The Appendix covers many arguments that Muslim Arabs have with Christianity. Pray for this book to move Muslims closer to a better understanding of the way Christ loves them. Pray that many in the UAE will be drawn to Christ through this book (The Bible, John 12:32).
