Reading through a recent issue of EN, Elaine Taylor learned that Christians were holding nights of prayer for the Arab world during Ramadan. The one held in her home was privileged to have five Christians from the Middle East and North Africa. She later had in-depth conversations with missionaries from the Muslim world.

The phone rang. 'Hello, Mum, it's Nadir. Are you coming to take me home tonight?' Nadia's mother replied that she would let her know later. After ringing off, there was a spirited discussion with her husband and sons. The upshot was that they did not fancy the long drive there and back again.

'I know, we'll phone Nadir and tell her that friends have just dropped in and we cannot leave them. We'll tell her to make her own way home', declared her father.
