Riyadh is the capital city of Saudi Arabia. Few cities have transformed as rapidly as Riyadh. The city grew from a small desert village to an advanced modern metropolis of millions in just a few centuries. Islam originated approximately 1,400 years ago in the nation of Saudi Arabia when the founder, Muhammad, declared that no other religion should exist on the Arabian Peninsula.
Each year around 2 million Muslims pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina, though more and more Saudis are growing disillusioned with Islam and coming to Jesus through digital media, traveling abroad, and faithful witness within the nation.
With the Crown Prince’s push for a modernized Saudi Arabia, an opportunity presents itself for the Saudi church to stand in opposition to Muhammad’s declaration and capitalize on greater freedom within their nation in claiming their country for the King of Kings. Many more disciplemakers from other movements have been flooding into Riyadh and other strategic cities here as "hot coals" hopeing to spark a flame of movement in this country. Pray for them to be as wise as serpants and as innocent as doves.
Use these resources to help pray specifically each day.
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.

For by his great power he rules forever. He watches every movement of the nations; let no rebel rise in defiance."
