Prayers for Afghan Muslim of New York City
Lord, thank you for new efforts being made to reach Afghans in Queens. Continue to raise up laborers.
Lord, out of all the major Muslim people groups in New York City, the Afghans have had the least amount of focused outreach. Stir a desire in your church to share the gospel with these people.
Lord, we know that Afghans have been through significant trials with war in their homeland and a cold reception in America. May Christians be welcoming and loving to this community. Help Afghans find healing and peace in Christ.
Lord, bring the first Afghan church in New York City into existence.
