Basra, Iraq - 110 Cities

Let's broaden our global perspective and pray for the city of Basra.

When Iraq was at the height of its stability and economic stature in the '70s, Muslims revered the nation as the cosmopolitan center of the Arab world. However, after enduring seemingly constant war and conflict over the past 30 years, this emblem feels like a fading memory to its people.

With unprecedented population growth and continued economic instability, a window of opportunity has opened for the existing Jesus followers in Iraq to heal their fractured nation through the shalom of God found only in the Prince of Peace.

Basra, the capital city of Al-Basrah governorate, is an group of three small towns in southeastern Iraq. It is the principal port of Iraq and has been a stage for centuries of conflict due to its natural resources and strategic positioning alongside international borders.

Prayer Points:

  • Pray for the advancement of God's Kingdom throughout the 11 languages of this city.
  • Pray for the New Testament translation in Mandaic.
  • Pray for a mighty movement of prayer to be birthed in Basra that multiplies throughout the country.
  • Pray for followers of Jesus to walk in the power of the Spirit.
  • Pray for a resurrection of God's divine purpose for this city.

Understand the Urgency

February 4, 2025

Disciplemaking Principle: Understand the Urgency of the Task Jesus tells his disciples that we will not know the hour in which he will return, but that we should always be ready. Disciple Making Movements focus on the urgency of the task at hand - all peoples, nations, tribes and languages hearing the good news of Christ.

Rejoice and Sing!

February 3, 2025

Psalm 66:4-7 "Everything on earth will worship you;     they will sing your praises,     shouting your name in glorious songs. Come and see what our God has done,     what awesome miracles he performs for people! He made a dry path through the Red Sea,     and his people went across on foot.     There we rejoiced in him. For by his great power he rules forever.     He watches every movement of the nations;     let no rebel rise in defiance."
