DAY 4

Let’s Learn

Small children are not usually expected to participate in the Ramadan fast. Usually, people begin fasting when they go through puberty. To prepare children for the discipline of fasting, many parents encourage them to fast a few days each year before the fast becomes obligatory.

Hajjam (Bengali-speaking) of India

Pray for the Bengali-speaking Hajjam of India. Their name “hajjam” means “one who performs hair cutting.” This Muslim people group is mainly a barber community who also perform circumcision. They live in darkness with no local church or missionary to preach the good news about Jesus—the Light of the world.

From the Word

Isaiah 65:1

I was ready to be sought by those who did not ask for me; I was ready to be found by those who did not seek me. I said, “Here I am, here I am,” to a nation that was not called by my name.

Let’s Pray

• As Muslims raise their children in the ways and stories of Islam, pray that God will lead them to want to know the truth about Jesus Christ.
• Pray that Muslims will seek the truth about their Creator and find Him.
• Pray for believers to share the gospel with the Hajjam of India.

Jesus, I pray for Muslim parents to question what they are teaching their children and honestly seek the truth in Your Word. I pray for the Hajjam people who desperately need You to seek You. Please bring believers from Muslim backgrounds living in India to share hope with the Hajjam. Please give them boldness and confidence in You as they seek to engage people with the gospel.
