In the Middle East, and in Muslim countries around the world, the muezzins - selected for their sonorous voices - ascend the minarets of the mosques or pick up their microphones five times per day to utter the Adhan, the haunting Muslim call to prayer. Sadly, as millions bow in answer, they do not pray to God in Christ as we do. Thus as our brother Nabeel Qureshi shared so often, how great is the darkness amid their prayers. Today, I do not utter haunting cries across the landscape, but I am under a burden that began to grow in me last week. It is a burden to urge us at Water of Life Fellowship to pray.
