## What is Rivers in the Desert?

This app is designed to coincide with a 13 month prayer initiative to pray for 13 different countries in the Middle East--Jordan (September 2023), Saudi Arabia (October 2023), Lebanon, Oman, Egypt, Qatar, Iraq, Kuwait, Yemen, Israel/Palestine, Syria, United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain. We begin the 13 month prayer on September 1, 2023 and end on September 30, 2024. Each month will have a different country focus with daily specific prayer requests for that country. We long for these desert places and peoples to have rivers of Living Water from God's Kingdom flowing through them! Pray with us for these 13 countries this year!
