The 30 Days Muslim Prayer Focus coincides yearly with Ramadan (a holy month of fasting in Islam).
This prayer movement is currently coordinated out of France (previously from Australia), and has been operating since 1993.
It calls upon Christians to make a concerted but respectful effort during that month to learn about, pray for and reach out to Muslim neighbors—across the street and around the world.
As Christians we resist the temptation to be caught up in generalizations, anger, hate or fear toward anyone. In the climate following the 9/11 tragedy, here is a proven tool to direct our focus more prayerfully, Christ-like and constructively.
It is not our intention with this prayer focus to disparage Islam or Muslim sentiments in any way. We recognize that humans and the Muslim world are far too complex to simply or easily condense or explain with a mere booklet.
At the same time, as Christians, we long for all the world's people to have an opportunity to understand the grace of God incarnated in Jesus Christ.
To this end we inform ourselves, pray for, and support respectful opportunities to make that grace also known among Muslims.

MENEMEN FOOD
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Menemen, is a Turkish dish which includes egg, onion, tomato and green peppers (paprika) and spices (such as ground black pepper, ground red pepper, salt, oregano, and mint). Black or Green olives can also be included as ingredients. Turkish sausages such as Sucuk or Pastırma can be added, although this strays from the traditional recipe. It is cooked with butter, although olive oil may also be used. The dish is very similar to the Shakshouka.
It is commonly eaten for breakfast with bread.[1]
[edit] Preparation
First, Onions are sauteed with the heated butter or oil. Then the green peppers.Once the onions become soft and lighter in color, the tomatoes and olives are added. Tomatoes should become very soft and also change color. Finally the eggs and spices are added, mixed with the other ingredients and cooked. The eggs should be fully cooked but not dry.
In restaurants, Menemen is usually cooked and served in single-serving metal pans.

WIKIPEDIA ENCYCLOPEDIA DESCRIPTION OF MEEMEN
Menemen (Μαινεμένη in Greek) is a district of Turkey's İzmir Province as well as the district's central town. It is situated at a distance of 33 km from İzmir center (Konak) on a fertile plain which is made up of the alluvial soil carried by the Gediz River (Hermos) for many centuries from the Anatolian inland to the Aegean shores. It is on the main road to other districts of İzmir which are lined up in the north. Menemen is known throughout Turkey for its earthenware pottery products and its economy is increasingly based on its developing Free Zone and activities rebounding from the adjacent İzmir metropolitan area.
REV 2::8,9
İzmir'deki topluluğa
8-9«İzmir'deki topluluğun meleğine yaz. Ölmüş ve yaşama dönmüş, ilk ve son olan şöyle diyor: `Senin sıkıntılarını ve yoksulluğunu biliyorum. Oysa zenginsin! Yahudi olduklarını söyleyen, ama Yahudi değil de Şeytan'ın havrası durumunda olanların iftiralarını biliyorum. 10Çekmek üzere olduğun sıkıntılardan korkma! Bak, İblis sizi sınamak için aranızdan bazılarını yakında zindana atacak ve on gün süreyle sıkıntı çekeceksiniz. Ölüm pahasına da olsa sadık kal, ben sana yaşam tacını vereceğim. 11Kulağı olan, Ruh'un topluluklara ne dediğini işitsin. Galip gelen, ikinci ölümden hiçbir zarar görmeyecek

The Persecuted Church
8 "And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write,
'These things says the First and the Last, who was dead, and came to life: 9 "I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. 10 Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
11 "He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death."' NKJV
