12 minutes

Welcome to 7 Ways to Pray, a monthly podcast brought to you by SAT-7.

This month, let us lead you on a prayer-filled tour of seven of the countries and areas SAT-7 works in, taking in Iran, Afghanistan, Iraq, the Gulf, Syria, the UK and North Africa. We hope you’re encouraged to hear some of the amazing stories of God at work in the MENA through SAT-7, as well as challenged to intercede for those who are facing difficult times.

Dear God,

Lord, we bring all of these countries and places before you in prayer.

We pray that you will continue to comfort and encourage your people in Iran.

We thank you that against the odds, SAT-7 is bringing education to adults and children in Afghanistan.

We pray for continued restoration of your people and churches in Iraq.

We give you thanks that believers in North Africa are being empowered to share their own stories and reach their communities for Christ.

We thank you for breakthroughs in Saudi Arabia and Oman, and pray this will lead to even greater opportunities for your name.

We pray for your strength and comfort for believers in Syria, like Taim, who feel rejected and alone.
