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.

Compassionate Father, thank You for Niloofar in the metro area of Abadan, Iran, and for those she leads in kingdom business. Thank You for giving her practical skill and a vision to work under Your rule. According to Psalm 68:5, You are Father to the fatherless and protector of widows. Let that care shape the work of Niloofar and those serving with her.

Give them integrity in money, with honesty in speech and wisdom for each decision. Protect them from greed and from fear, keeping them from compromise, and let their business efforts bring blessing to many homes. Give Niloofar grace to lead with fairness and diligence and courage for what she faces, and let their honest labor become a testimony to the goodness of Christ. Establish the work of their hands. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Today: MOSUL, Iraq

I live in Mosul, a city still rising from the ashes of war. Once, Iraq stood tall — strong, prosperous, and admired across the Arab world. But decades of conflict have torn at our nation’s soul. In the 1970s, Mosul was a city of culture and coexistence, where Kurds, Arabs, and Christians lived side by side. Then came years of turmoil — bombings, fear, and finally the dark reign of ISIL. In 2014, we watched our city fall into the hands of terror, and many fled for their lives.

When liberation came in 2017, the streets were silent, the churches destroyed, and hope felt like a memory. Yet, amid the rubble, life is returning. Markets are reopening, families are rebuilding, and the faint sound of children’s laughter can once again be heard. But the deepest rebuilding is not of buildings — it’s of hearts. The pain of loss runs deep, and reconciliation is hard, but Jesus is moving quietly here. In small gatherings and whispered prayers, believers are bringing His peace to a weary people.

This is our moment — a window of grace in the heart of suffering. I believe God is calling His followers in Iraq to rise as healers, bridge-builders, and bearers of shalom — the peace only Christ can give. In the very city where violence once reigned, I believe love will take root again, and Mosul will one day be known not for its ruins, but for its restoration.

Prayer for Today:

• Pray for the next generation in Mosul to rise free from fear and filled with purpose in God’s kingdom. (Jeremiah 29:11)
