PAKISTAN - 40 Days of Prayer and Fasting National Campaign - 20th February to 30th March 2012
2011 saw a turning point in the Pakistani Church's acceptability to pray as we conducted a 40 day prayer campaign from 1st Jan to 9th Feb 2011. God opened new doors when almost a 1000 churches/ groups/ ministries and individuals in 30 cities across the country prayed for thousands of hours for the church and the nation.
We received a lot of feedback of how the Holy Spirit led people to intercede in a new way for the country and the people. Testimonies were shared of how, as they started praying on the given prayer points, the anointing of intercession, tears, compassion came as never experienced before.
We also witnessed churches and ministers doing other prayer initiatives during the year after the 40 day campaign.
In 2012 we have again called the Pakistani Church and saints across the country to join us in another nationwide 40 day prayer campaign from 20th February to 30th March 2012 (During lent season).

Praying to ignite Revival in EUROPE AND RUSSIA
Prayer is a conversation with God. The purpose of www.PrayEurope.com is to encourage prayer for Europe and Russia. As a result of this website we are hoping and praying that millions of believers from all over the world will unite in prayer which will result in revival. If they do, God promises to heal the land-to pour out His Spirit so that people can come into a personal relationship with Him through Jesus Christ and receive His blessings of love and forgiveness.
There are many reasons we should pray. One is because God wants to bless others as a result of your prayers. The Bible says in 2 Chronicles 7:14 (NIV) "If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and WILL HEAL THEIR LAND."
In addition, God wants to bless you personally and prayer can open the door to God¹s working in your life. Jeremiah 29:11 (NIV) "I know the plans I have for you declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."
Please join us as we pray for Europe and Russia. Find prayer points for each nation HERE
Winds of Change Campaign
In January 2012, Arab World Media launched an evangelistic campaign called Winds of Change. The aim of the campaign is to increase the number of spiritual enquirers contacting maarifa.org and our other websites. The focus will be on ten countries that either present a challenge or have high potential for responses.
Please pray that the Winds of Change campaign would result in more people coming to Christ in these ten countries. Some of them - particularly those in the Arabian Gulf - have been quite resistant to the gospel, yet we know that there are many earnestly seeking the truth.
For millions of people, the internet is their only means of learning the truth about following Christ.
