Ramadan Day 8
Pray for University Students in Oman
To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. For this I toil, struggling with all His energy that He powerfully works within me. (Col. 1:27-29)
Young adults are often considering life’s biggest questions and are open to the gospel. Thousands of Omani young people are studying at universities and colleges. In this setting, disciples of Jesus can participate in campus life as professors, staff, and students. As God opens these doors, local young adults in Oman have unprecedented opportunities to develop friendships with Christians and hear the good news for the first time.
Prayer: Father, thank you for opening doors for Christian professors and students to come to universities in Oman. We pray that You would help them live a holy life that causes students to ask questions. We ask that You would fill them with love for students and staff, to serve them, and speak the good news of Jesus to them so that they can present everyone mature in Christ. Please give local students ears to hear and eyes to see the riches of the glory of the gospel, Christ in us, the hope of glory! Amen.
