Presentation transcript:

THE #29 PLACE WHERE CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION IS WORST Persecution is growing as Islamic extremism has spread from neighbouring countries. Christians face violent attacks and many church leaders end up living in hiding. Laws enforced by the government, make it difficult for Christians to meet in public or to train missionaries. Despite being a Christian majority, there has been a decline in religious freedom.

PRAY FOR OUR PERSECUTED FAMILY Pray that the Church will help authorities to recognise that Christians are not a threat. Pray for unity amongst believers – that Christians will see each other as brothers and sisters, especially those from different denominations. Pray that the Lord will provide in the needs of Christians who face discrimination for their faith.
