Prayer Fuel

Field Team Daily Prayer Request:

For the month of May, we will give thanks and continue praying for believers across 31 cities in the Land of Daniel and Esther.

Heavenly Father, thank You for Mohammad in Tehran, Iran, and for those he leads in prayer. Thank You for keeping him steady under pressure and teaching him to seek You first. According to Psalm 46:1, You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Be that refuge for Mohammad and for the people praying with him.

Build in them a quiet faith that endures, and guard them from fear so they are not pulled into distraction. Let their prayers open doors and strengthen believers as hearts across the city are prepared to receive You. Establish Mohammad as a faithful man of prayer whose life points others to Your Son. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Today: CAIRO Egypt

I live in Cairo, a city whose name means “The Victorious.” It rises from the banks of the Nile — ancient, vast, and alive. The streets are filled with the noise of traffic, prayer calls, and the rhythm of daily survival. Here, pharaohs once ruled, prophets walked, and history was written into stone. Cairo is a city of heritage and beauty, yet also of great struggle.

Egypt is home to one of the oldest Christian communities in the world — the Coptic Church — yet even among believers, division and fear linger. The Muslim majority often looks down on Christians, and many followers of Jesus face discrimination and limitation. Still, God’s people here are steadfast. Quietly, a movement of faith and renewal is growing — believers from every background gathering in homes and churches, praying for revival in this ancient land.

But Cairo also bears another wound: thousands of orphaned children wander its streets, hungry, alone, and forgotten. Each one is seen and loved by God, and I believe He is calling His Church — here in the “Victorious City” — to rise with compassion and courage. We are called not just to endure, but to adopt, to disciple, and to raise up a generation who will be more than conquerors through Christ. The victory Cairo was named for will one day belong to Him.

Prayer for Today:

• Pray for the believers in Cairo to walk in unity, boldness, and love as they bear witness to Jesus in their nation. (John 17:21)
