UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, ARABIAN PENINSULA

President Pratibha Patil of India visited the United Arab Emirates in November 2010 in an effort to develop greater cooperation between the two nations – especially in the area of counter-terrorism. Give thanks to the Lord for this attention to international security.

Pray for the plans and policies they institute to be effective in keeping the United Arab Emirates safe from terrorism.

Ask the Lord to make the Gospel known throughout this land.

Plead for the hearts of the Muslim residents.

Petition the Lord to give expatriate Christian Believers opportunities to share the love of Christ and the boldness to declare His Name.

Pray for the Kingdom of God to come to the United Arab Emirates with great power, signs and wonders.
