Presentation transcript:

Christians can’t meet together; their faith must be kept secret. THE #9 PLACE WHERE CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION IS WORST Like other Yemenis, Christians are suffering the worst humanitarian crisis in the world. Extremist groups utilise the chaos caused by civil war to grow their influence. Christians can’t meet together; their faith must be kept secret. The only four churches in the country have all been damaged by the conflict. Even before that, they were used only by foreigners.

PRAY FOR OUR PERSECUTED FAMILY Pray that the Gospel’s message of love will change the hearts of the Islamic extremists in Yemen. Pray that the secret believers in Yemen will strengthen and encourage each other and reach out to the lost. Pray that the Lord will provide for Christians who don’t receive relief aid because of their faith.
