“Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” Hebrews 4:16
Heavenly Father, today we are praying for Tamer, a brother who is leading prayer teams and house church movements in Dubai. A city of many cultures and ways of life, be His guide today and bolster his courage in every way. We pray the revelation of Hebrews 4:16: “Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.” As conversations begin on the bus, the train, or along the streets, may Tamer’s teams be filled with revelation knowledge, gifts of faith, and discernment to know whose hearts are open to You. In Jesus’ name, Amen. |

Dubai is the capital city of the emirate of Dubai, one of the wealthiest of the seven emirates. Dubai has been compared to Hong Kong and is regarded as the Middle East’s premier trading post. Dubai is a city of skyscrapers, beaches, and big business.
Due to its large expatriate population, there is religious diversity and tolerance within the city. However, the government has been criticized for being authoritarian when the ruling Sheikhs are brought into question. Converts from Islam often receive pressure to renounce their faith from family and community members.
Due to this, many followers of Jesus don’t exercise their faith publically. This is the hour for the church in Dubai to stand boldly for their faith in Jesus and make disciples of the various peoples he has brought to their prospering land.
