Presentation transcript:

Islam is the state religion of Somalia. THE #3 PLACE WHERE CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION IS WORST Islam is the state religion of Somalia. Muslims who are suspected of becoming Christian are targeted by extremists. In 2017, 23 people suspected of converting to Christianity were killed by al-Shabaab. In a country with only hundreds of Christians, this shows how hard it is to follow Jesus.

PRAY FOR OUR PERSECUTED FAMILY Pray for the protection of Somali Christians as they share the Gospel in their country. Pray that God will reveal Himself to many Muslims in Somalia. Pray they will be bold enough to accept Jesus regardless of the cost. Pray that Christians will find safe ways to read the Bible and gather together.
