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.

Lord Jesus, thank You for Khadijeh near Qazvin, Iran, and for those she leads in kingdom business. Thank You for giving her the vision to work in ways that honor You and bless others. According to Psalm 33:12, blessed are the people whose God is the Lord. Let that blessing rest over Khadijeh and those serving with her.

Give them integrity in trade, with honesty in speech and wisdom for what lies ahead. Protect them from fear and from greed, keeping them from compromise. Let their work create stability and lead to generosity, so that their business efforts strengthen families, support ministry, and demonstrate the goodness of godly labor. Give Khadijeh grace to lead with fairness and diligence, establishing a witness through honest work that points many toward Christ. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

110 City Focus for May is Isaiah 19 Highway Cities in Middle East

Today: BASRA, Iraq

I live in Basra, a city shaped by both beauty and battle. Once, Iraq was the pride of the Arab world — a place of learning, wealth, and culture. People from across the Middle East admired its sophistication and strength. But decades of war, sanctions, and unrest have left deep scars on our nation. What was once a symbol of prosperity now feels like a memory fading into dust.

Basra sits in the far south, near the waters of the Shatt al-Arab, where the rivers meet the sea. Our city is the gateway of Iraq — rich with oil and history — yet it has been a battleground for generations because of those very riches. Today, life here is hard. The economy struggles, the young are restless, and the air is heavy with both pollution and despair. Yet, amid all this, I see signs of hope.

God has not forgotten Iraq. In secret gatherings, small fellowships, and hearts weary from conflict, the Spirit of Jesus is bringing peace that no treaty can secure. We long to see our fractured nation healed — not by power or politics, but by the shalom of God, the peace that restores what war has broken. I believe this is our moment: for the followers of Jesus in Iraq to rise in love, rebuild with forgiveness, and become peacemakers in the land once known as Babylon.
