Ramadan begins

Muslims begin their 30-day observance of Ramadan today, where they fast daily from dawn until dusk. You can learn more and pray through this time with The 30-Days Prayer Network.

Please pray specifically for Muslims in Pakistan. Many have already been without food for several days because of flood waters and continuing rains.  Most firewood is wet, so even those with food have been unable to cook it  Those needing food can only receive aid from dusk until dawn, according to law.  Pray for these nightly relief efforts, that people will be able to get goods safely.  Pray for the OM Pakistan team and for all those distributing food during this time.

Give to Pakistan Flood Relief here.  Thank you for your help.

Independence Day

This weekend as we celebrate our freedom here in the States, we can remember those who are enslaved and persecuted all over the world. The Lord wants us to "let the oppressed go free and break every yoke." (Isaiah 58:6 NLT) Only people who are already free can respond to this call. Will we?



Bill Drake is OM's International Music Minister.

Day 5: remembering

It's Memorial Day here in the States, a day to honor those who have gone before us to give us our freedom. Let us also remember the heroes of the faith who brought the word of God to us and shared with us His sacrificial love.
