    Becoming Green Again

    Saham (Arabic: صحم, pop. 23,923) is a coastal town and seat of Saham district (pop. 150,057) in Al-Batinah North region. It is primarily a fishing and farming area, known especially for its lemons. Saham is also known for its authentic traditional crafts and industries, folk arts, and camel and horse races. Its seafront has a historical fort, as well as ruins of ancient houses probably belonging to wealthy merchants. The area is also noted for its natural beauty, with mountains and wadis worth exploring.

    In Arabic, ‘Saham’ signifies a green plant that has yellowed, or land that has dried up for lack of rain. We bless Saham to receive God’s rains and become a verdant garden, physically and spiritually!

    Pray for the Town and District of Saham:

    • Glory of God.  That God would be glorified and exalted and worshipped in Saham. (Habakkuk 2:14, Psalm 138:4-5)    
    • Expansion of the Kingdom.  That many people in Saham will come to know Jesus, and that communities of believers will be planted, that movements will be ignited. (Luke 1:32-33, 2 Cor 10:15-16)
    • Hearts and Minds.  That spiritual blindness and bondages will be lifted from the minds of the people in Saham, and that hearts will be stirred with hunger for Jesus and truth. (2 Cor 4:4, Luke 24:45)
    • Authority.  Pray with the authority that Jesus gives you over principalities, powers and spiritual strongholds in Saham. Pray that God would release prophetic words over the land, releasing visions, dreams, signs and wonders in Jesus’ name. (Matthew 18:18, 2 Cor 10:4)
    • Revival.  That any believers living in Saham would be awakened by the Holy Spirit, have love and passion stirred in them for the lost, and rise to meet the need in their neighborhood. (Luke 10:2, Ezekiel 37:10)
    • Provision.  That God would bring His provision and blessing to all those in need in Saham. That He would show His eternal kindness, demonstrate the blessing of His Kingdom, and cause His people to prosper. (Philippians 4:19, Jeremiah 29:7)
