Thousands of people speaking more than 30 languages in countries around the world are expected to participate, according to Mission Network News, one of the organizers of the effort.
"I believe whole-heartedly that the only way to reach the Muslim world is through a concerted prayer effort,” said MNN's executive director Greg Yoder. “That's why we're getting behind this effort.”
He added, “So many Christians won't witness to Muslims because they don't know anything about them. This could be the first step in gaining that understanding."
MNN has worked with Youth with a Mission, the main organizer of the effort, for three years in a row to promote the campaign. YWAM has offered the prayer guide on its own for the past 17 years.
