Thought for the day
Growth
An African man in London rested on his bed after completing his Muslim prayers.
As he did so a very bright light came into the room.
Within the light he saw the figure of a man who said ‘Islam is not your religion; this is’ showing him a Bible.
He is now a follower of Jesus and a passionate evangelist wherever he goes.
In recent decades there has been a marked increase in the numbers of people attending Pentecostal Churches in London, mainly explained by the growth of African Churches.
Many West African Pentecostals regard the UK as a potential mission field, bringing the gospel back to those who originally provided it.
Simultaneously, about 10% of the UK's Muslim population are of African heritage and a growing number of young black people are converting to Islam.
Will you join our African brothers and sisters to pray for continued conversion growth in their churches?
Prayer for the day
Pray for sustained growth in terms of conversion numbers and quality of fellowship within the black led Churches in the UK and that they might bring many muslims to Jesus too.
