Lord, help existing Christians become more aware of Somalis in their community. Help Christians overcome fear, self interest, and negative thoughts toward Somalis.

Lord, raise up labourers among Somalis in Greater Vancouver to share the gospel, disciple believers, and start churches.

Pray that Somali disciples be made so that a Somali church community can be developed.

Pray for followers of Jesus to open their homes in a ministry of hospitality and safety for Somalis.

Pray for trusting relationships and friendship between followers of Jesus and Somalis.

Somalis make up one side of an ongoing ethnic gang war in the Surrey area. Praise God outward gang violence isn’t as prevalent as in the 2010’s, but many Somalis who come from Toronto continue to have gang and drug ties. Pray that they experience a bold witness for Christ that changes their life. Pray that the distance between them and their old connections would allow them a chance for a fresh start.

Pray for Churches in Surrey to recognize the need for more English Classes and other opportunities to reach out to Syrian Muslims living in their communities.

Pray for Syrian Muslims to have visions and dreams of Jesus that lead to salvation.

Pray for the many organizations and churches that continue to support Syrian refugees, that they will keep up the good work as the public eye turns elsewhere.

Ask God to bring at least one gospel-centered Christian friend into the life of each Syrian Muslim & find ways to serve them and read the Bible with them.
