Islam - merely an African problem?

You don’t have to go to Africa to observe the increasing pervasiveness of Islam.
 
On the way to Ghana, I was struck by seeing Muslims at every stage, from the US through Europe to Africa: Muslims as airport workers and as passengers. Of course, the easy feature to pick out is the mandatory headdress that women must wear – one of the many decisions that is made for them, and over which they have little to no say.
 
Look around next time you go shopping, next time you are at a sporting event, next time you are at any public gathering outside of church. Do you see them? Don’t just stop with seeing Muslims: make it a habit to notice them, and then use your observation as a reminder to pray for them. Pray for Muslims around the world, for Christians living in predominantly Muslim contexts…and for the soul of the one you see in your grocery store, at the game, or elsewhere.
 
Who knows how God may use your prayers to make an eternal difference in people’s lives?
