Riyadh is the capital city of Saudi Arabia. Few cities have transformed as rapidly as Riyadh. The city grew from a small desert village to an advanced modern metropolis of millions in just a few centuries. Islam originated approximately 1,400 years ago in the nation of Saudi Arabia when the founder, Muhammad, declared that no other religion should exist on the Arabian Peninsula.

Each year around 2 million Muslims pilgrimage to Mecca and Medina, though more and more Saudis are growing disillusioned with Islam and coming to Jesus through digital media, traveling abroad, and faithful witness within the nation.

With the Crown Prince’s push for a modernized Saudi Arabia, an opportunity presents itself for the Saudi church to stand in opposition to Muhammad’s declaration and capitalize on greater freedom within their nation in claiming their country for the King of Kings.

Pray for the advancement of God's Kingdom throughout the 34 languages of this city, especially among the Najdi Saudi Arabs, the Bedouin Arabs, and the Northern Yemeni Arabs.
Pray for the Gospel SURGE teams as they launch out in faith to plant churches; pray for their protection, for supernatural wisdom, and for courage.
Pray for a mighty movement of prayer to be birthed in Riyadh that multiplies throughout the country.
Pray for followers of Jesus to walk in the power of the Spirit.
Pray for a resurrection of God's divine purpose for this city.
