Hajj starts today

Today begins the life-long aspiration and spiritual climax for one-fifth of the world - the Hajj, the fifth pillar of Islam. Every Muslim who can afford it is required to go on a pilgrimage to Mecca, the birthplace of Islam, at least once. Pilgrims will perform sacred rituals, following the steps of Muhammad, seeking forgiveness of sins and a chance of eternal life. Jesus loves Muslims and died for them and the Hajj is an incredible opportunity for Jesus to reveal Himself to seeking pilgrims. Our prayers during this crucial time could change someone's eternity. Millions are seeking forgiveness and eternal life from a god who cannot hear and will not answer. While increasing millions are turning to Muhammad instead of Christ, Jesus continues to reveal himself lovingly to seeking hearts. Pray for Muslims to encounter him through visions, dreams and faithful witnesses. Pray for all efforts to silence the Gospel to propel it across the Muslim world instead.
