Specific Prayers:
- Lord, send whole families following Jesus into the lives of Shaikh families sharing each other’s burdens and learning from each other. Raise up prayer for Shaikh families to be blessed by You and to seek out Your kingdom first.
- Lord, bless Your Holy Scriptures (in Bengali-Muslim translations) so Your Holy Word will be read and spoken in the Shaikh homes. Bless communities with confessions of sin and healings in Jesus’ name. Raise up Shaikh leaders to share boldly what You have done for them, and their families.
- Lord, give to the Shaikh households: miracles, dreams, visions, teachings in power, healing, prayer, worship, freedom from sin, broken families made whole and the coming in of Your Spirit and the Kingdom of God.
"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you seek Me with all your heart.” (Jer. 29:11)
