BLOG: A poem for Ramadan

By Isabelle*, a cross-cultural worker in the Middle East

Fast and feast in constant rotation
Quiet, empty-street days
Followed by noisy full-stomach nights.
Anticipation, waiting, hunger,
A quest to please God.
God of both feast and fast
Would you meet our friends,
As they hunger and thirst
As they eat and drink,
Would you reveal yourself to them?
In the emptiness and the fullness,
Way, Truth, Life,
Would you satisfy souls?

*Name changed to protect identities.

An English speaker might say that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder', that we are the 'apple of her eye', or perhaps even that we have a face that 'only a mother could love'!
As this Arab idiom suggests, we are thankful today for the (often optimistic) love of our mothers!

Businesses can be an amazing platform for ministry, providing opportunities to meet local people, contribute to society, and to be examples of the honesty and integrity that Jesus wants from us.
Pray today for a team in North Africa who are starting a business. 🙏

The small number of Christians in south Morocco face many challenges — this is especially true for those married to non-Christians. Please pray for them to be bold in their witness to their spouses, and for God to draw them to Himself. 🙏

Lailat al Bara'a is one of several Muslim festivals celebrated on the 15th of Shabeen. For those observing the Night of Forgiveness, this is an opportunity to pray for their sins and commemorate the dead.
Pray for Muslims to see the truth that forgiveness is found through Christ.
