Changes in 2008:
1) NEW Days of Preparation:
We are including a time of preparation in advance of the "30-Days."
This is because Ramadan begins 1 September when many of
you are
still
on holidays! With days of preparation, you / your church can
start early. Congregations can be alerted and praying up to 6
weeks in advance!
2) NEW Different arrangement:
The '08 articles are geographically mixed. That means we are
not
praying for Africa, Americas, Asia, etc in page sequence. (Tip:
Click the graphic below to see for yourself.)
3) NEW National / Regional pages:
National editions have an option to include their own
country page on the 1st Sunday of Ramadan (Day 7 - 7th Sept.).
4) NEW Reduced texts:
Most articles have about 20% less text than previous issues. This was
done in order to give some breathing space to you "pray-ers" + give
translators room
for larger fonts. This has been requested by many.
5) NEW
Pronunciation guide: (If possible) We have suggested all
languages
add a guide for hard to pronounce cities / people groups for
you.
6) NEW
Sidebar texts: These texts are on various subjects:
Islam, more information about the main article, cultural understanding,
etc. The goal of these texts is to stimulate and inform you in an easy
to read / remember fashion.

7)
We made
a great effort in the 2008 prayer booklet to underline Muslim
humanity and God's love for people. You will see this through
the
texts, pictures and layout.
8) Text about proclaiming Christ: We have included a two page article called "Helping Muslims discover Jesus" at the end of the booklet. This article is especially designed to help you effectively communicate the Good News.
Please continue to pray
during the coming weeks: work on the Children's edition
page layout
is continuing. It is critical that we be able to work with good
attitudes with creativity in order to produce
another excellent product.
Work
is being done on the following:
- a budget to help the International Coordination Office and struggling coordinators,
- a schedule for the 2009 and 2010 prayer events.
PS. We are now Mobile phone / PDA
friendly too on both
"About Islam"
and "Muslims
in" sections. You can see MOBILE in action by visiting these
links with your mobile / eg: iPhone (and many more).
