Ramadan-Week One

All across the world, Muslims have begun fasting for Ramadan. Ramadan is the 9th month of the Islamic calendar and this year, it began on August 22nd. During this time, Muslims will refrain from drinking, eating, and smoking from dawn until dusk. The evenings are filled with eating typical Ramadan food with friends and family. In Muslim countries, TV stations will announce when the sun has set and the people can break the fast.

For Muslims living in Europe, Ramadan sometimes looks very different. If they live in an area highly populated with Muslims, it can feel just like home. For others, it can make them miss their home country even more as they don't have access to food, family and friends like they usually do during this time of year.

During this month, please consider praying for Muslims living in Europe. Often times Muslims will receive dreams and visions of Jesus Christ as a result of Believers world wide praying for them during Ramadan.
