Muslim Background Believers are used by God in a powerful way to reach out to their neighbors with the love of God.

Christians should:
- Pray for Muslim Background Believers like Adilah and Abdul who have turned from Islam to follow Christ. Pray they will have the courage to stand strong in the face of persecution.
- Pray that MBBs will continue to be used by God to lead many more Muslims to Christ as their personal Lord and Savior.
- Pray that God would continue to give wisdom and protection to Christian workers in Islam-dominated countries as they seek to encourage and strengthen believers who live under such intense persecution.

MBBs don’t ask us to pray for them to be removed from the hardships of being a Christian in the Muslim World, but to pray that God will provide opportunities for them to share that gospel. Despite the rise of radical Islam in some countries, there are more reports of Christian converts from Islam than ever before.

For information about how your church, small group or Sunday school class can be a part of the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church, go to www.persecutedchurch.org.
