CENTERVILLE, Virginia, Aug. 21 /Christian Newswire/ -- Truth For Muslims, an evangelical Christian group, is publishing a prayer guide to help Christians think how to pray about terrorism and for terrorists.

The publication, called Islamic Terrorism and Muslim Terrorists: A Prayer Guide for Christians, is written by John Marion, the project director of Truth For Muslims.

"On August 9 British authorities announced they had arrested a number of terrorists who were plotting to blow up 10 aircraft", Marion recalled. "Since then", he continued, "a lot of people have been reminded of the realities of Islamic terrorism."

Marion, who lived in Afghanistan with his family during the mujahadeen wars leading up to the rise of the Taliban in the mid-1990s, wanted to share what God taught him about praying for fundamentalist Muslims.

"I decided it was time," Marion said, "to write something that would help Christians in America think how to pray about Islamic terrorism and for Muslim terrorists."

Marion and his wife, Michele, have been doing ministry among Muslims, including evangelism, discipleship, church planting and leadership development in America since 1982. They have spent time talking to Muslims in homes, the marketplace, and inside mosques.

In Afghanistan the Marion family huddled together in an inner room of their house during barrages of incoming rockets and dodged small arms and artillery fire in the streets. They saw people killed, and their homes destroyed. Their children slept behind sandbags.

Marion was held captive by a fundamentalist group for one night.

He even receives death threats here in America because of his efforts to tell Muslims about Christ.

Marion testifies how he and his family have experienced God's peace even though outwardly things seem difficult.

"We have always followed the leading of the Holy Spirit in our lives", Marion testifies. "And we've always experienced the peace of God through our Lord Jesus Christ."

"Michele and I have seen that the recent news events have shaken up some Christians", Marion says. "It's about time", he continues, "that we begin to share our experiences and tell Christians how we pray about Islamic terrorism and for Muslim terrorists."

Islamic Terrorism and Muslim Terrorists: A Prayer Guide for Christians, is printed in a brochure format. Truth For Muslims wants to distribute this prayer guide to churches across America. They need donations to pay for the distribution costs. The web site for Truth For Muslims is www.truthformuslims.com.

John Marion is available for interviews with print media and radio talk shows.
