Challenges for Prayer
The Sultan is alleged to be the world’s second wealthiest royal. The Sultan is reluctant to diversify the economy and liberalize government structures, believing that external influences might destabilize the country. Yet, he has established a world-class university and is working toward a smooth handover to the crown prince. Pray for conversions to Christ in the large royal family; the Sultan has shown evidence of becoming increasingly spiritual. Pray also that in following him, the Sultan’s subjects might seek after spiritual truth and in doing so find Jesus.
