Springs in the Central Asian Desert

There is nothing better for desert Muslim nomads to find than water! It can mean the difference between life and death. Jesus told us He is the “water of life,” meaning we need Him for our spiritual lives as much as we need water for our physical bodies.

There is a team of Christian Believers that call themselves the “Desert Oasis Team,” who labor in one of the many unreached parts of the Muslim world. Their goal is to bring the Water of Life to Muslims who are now drinking the tainted water of Islam. They have won some Muslims for Christ. New Christian Believers must meet at home since this land offers no grace to anyone who does not adhere to the Islamic religious system.

Having been driven out of one country, the Desert Oasis Team is developing a community center in another Muslim city. They want to teach leadership classes to those who want to win, equip, and disciple new believers.

Let us pray fervently for:

  • For persons of peace from this Muslim community to welcome Christian Believers and their influence (The Bible, Exodus 4:18).
  • For the Lord to direct and prepare the Desert Oasis Team in the months to come (The Bible, Genesis 26:32).
  • For Muslims to understand that Jesus truly is the Water of life (The Bible, John 4:14).
  • For an unprecedented Disciple Making Movement to bless the Muslims at the family and community level (The Bible, 1 Timothy 1:1-2).
