A Korean Protestant group is once again urging Christians to offer prayers for the world’s Muslims during their fasting month of Ramadan.

“Pray for the hundreds of thousands of muezzin around the world so that many of them will encounter the living God through Jesus, the Messiah,” says a booklet published by the Youth with a Mission, Korea (YWAM).

Muezzin are mosque officials who call Muslims to prayer.

The Thirty Days of Prayers for the Muslim World booklet, published annually, is used by members of Korean Protestant groups including Global Operation, Worldwide Evangelization for Christ (WEC) Korea, Full Gospel Church and many others during Ramadan.

The booklet gives information on Muslims and how they pray, a WEC Korea coordinator told ucanews.com. The publication also provides a special theme and focus of prayers for its Christian readers everyday during Ramadan.

YWAM is selling the booklet in some 20 cities in South Korea including Seoul and Busan.

The YWAM-led prayer campaign for Muslism in Korea started in 1993. Some 100,000 Protestants are believed to be participating in it. The booklet was originally written in English and published by an international organization called The 30-Days of Prayer Network.

The 52-page booklet has been translated into 42 languages, according to the organization.
