Presentation transcript:

THE #17 PLACE WHERE CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION IS WORST The Church faces immense pressure from a paranoid government. A believer can be fined for having a Christian song on their phone and Christians are constantly monitored. House churches are frequently raided and those present can be interrogated, fined or detained for up to 15 days.

PRAY FOR OUR PERSECUTED FAMILY Pray for strength for Christians who risk everything to secretly meet together. Pray also for church leaders. Praise God that His Church is reaching out with the Gospel and that there are Muslims are coming to Christ. Pray for Christians who are sharing the Gospel in areas where conversion is illegal.
