Host a Prayer Event

A mosque at sunsetPraying for the Muslims of West Africa

Lead a group to pray for Muslims while moving through prayer positions typically used in ritualistic Islamic prayers --standing, listening, bowing, worshiping and kneeling. These movements will be infused with new meaning as you perform them while reading God's Word and praying for the people of West Africa to come to faith in Jesus Christ.

This unique prayer method can be used by itself or incorporated into an existing event, such as "Flavors of West Africa."

Flavors of West Africa:
A Coffee-and-Chocolate Themed Prayer Event for the People of West Africa

West Africa is the world’s largest producer of cocoa – in fact, around 80% of the chocolate consumed in the United States is made from cocoa beans cultivated in West Africa. In addition, many nations in the region are exporters of coffee, so the morning brew you enjoy might contain beans from our side of the world.

We encourage you to host an event where you and your guests can savor rich West African flavors while also interceding for over 287 million West Africans, many of whom have never even heard the name of Jesus Christ.
