Christians in Syria

Since the outbreak of war in Syria, the number of Christians living there has plummeted. Our brothers and sisters have been slaughtered, slain and forced to flee from danger and abject poverty. Please pray that Syrian Christians in their homeland as well as those who were forced to flee will be buoyed by God’s love. Pray that peace and political stability will prevail in Syria. Please pray for conditions of security and economic conditions, allowing those who were displaced to return, and for existing Christian communities to thrive. Please pray that the Christian community in Syria will strengthen and flourish immensely.

Najdi people, Saudi Arabia

Najdi is one of the language and people groups within Saudi Arabia. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is completely off limits to any kind of indigenous Christian presence, so there are very few followers of Jesus among the Saudi Arabians. Pray for their protection. Pray they will learn to live in the power of Christ, demonstrating the fruit of his Spirit. Pray for God to speak clearly to the Najdi people through dreams and visions. And pray for the entire people group to know forgiveness of sin, found only through faith in Jesus.

Bedouin people of the Middle East

The Bedouin have lived in the Middle East for centuries and consider themselves to be the ‘true Arabs’, famous for their nobility, hospitality and other honourable characteristics. The Bedouin need to hear (and see) proof of a loving God who longs to come near to them. Pray that God will reveal the truth to them through the Holy Spirit. And pray that a day will come when they meet together in their tents and around their fires, praising Jesus with their chants and songs, and sharing him with others.

Libyan people

Libya has been one of the hardest places in the world for the gospel to penetrate. Pray for the country and for opportunities for people to go there. Pray for the government in Libya. Pray that God would raise up men and women of integrity, wisdom, and with the good of the people as their priority. Pray that more people living in Libya will be able to access the gospel through people around them, the Word of God, and various media. Pray that God will provide opportunities for people to hear about Jesus.

Lebanon

A troubling time for Lebanon

This is a troubling time for Lebanon. About 75% of the population needs aid and about 40% are unemployed. The economy has been failing and the currency has lost 80% of its value in less than a year. In a country of less than 7 million people, almost half live below the poverty line. With the destruction of the port in Beirut, it is difficult to get food supplies to the country. Ask God to pour out His mercy on the people of this country and to bless Lebanon with the resources they need to help the country recover.
