2025 March Prayer Corps
March 1 is the beginning of Ramadan. This month-long Muslim holiday is marked by devotion to their god Allah, self-discipline and reflection. Daily, from dawn until dusk, Muslims fast from food, smoking and drinking. They serve huge pre-dawn buffets, and the same after sundown.
Though originally intended to build community, purity and faith, Ramadan has sadly become an excuse for many to perpetrate terrorism and violence worldwide. For others, they find themselves searching for a God they do not know, and looking for assurance of an everlasting salvation they do not have, regardless of what the Quran teaches about earning their salvation through works.

Prayer This Month
1. CONGO
To our horror, in late February, there were 70 Christians – men, women and children – brutally murdered in the Congo (DRC) by an ISIS affiliated militant group. They were rounded up and taken hostage, then moved into a local church building where they were tied up and violently beheaded.
Open Doors reports that 90%+ of the DRC population claims to be Christian. But in recent months, Islamist militants have stepped up acts of persecution in the northeastern part of the country in an attempt to form an Islamic caliphate. There is little to no reporting about this persecution, or about the horrific murders of 70 Christians.

Please pray:
- For the Holy Spirit to comfort, strengthen and encourage those who’ve lost loved ones, and for the whole Christian community to not despair, give up hope or retreat from their faith.
- That the international community, both governments and the media, to report and to move into significant action to stop this wave of persecution and violence against Christians.
- For the binding up of the demon spirits of violence and murder that work in and through Islam, fomenting persecution and violence to expand their dominance.
- That the Gospel would be preached by bold witnesses, bringing truth and opportunity for salvation to Muslim peoples around the world, but particularly in Northern Africa.
- Against the spirit of antichrist that is raging in the world today, and for God to raise up His righteous standard against every strategy and evil foe being released.
2. WORLD MAP
- Seminars in 2025 – Plans are being set for World MAP Pastoral Equipping and Renewal Seminars in both Ecuador and Nepal, as well as a first-time seminar for key international Spanish-speaking pastors who will gather in the USA.

- Shepherd’s Staff – In process are more than 20,000 TSS books in 5 languages for distribution in both India and Nepal; as well as 10,000 TSS books for the Philippines. Thank you for praying for swift acquisition of paper; excellent printing and binding; and for provision to come in for this important work to be completed over the next months.
- Video Teaching Series – This month is specifically dedicated to continuing the recordings for the hours of teaching about the Holy Spirit and His Work. Please pray for fresh anointing and excellent production of this World MAP Foundations video/audio series!
Conclusion
“For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” Yet, He is, “not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” So let us thank the Lord that, “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved!” [Rom 3:23; 2Pet 3:9; Acts 2:21]
That all may know Him!
