2. THE #11 PLACE WHERE CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION IS WORST
Even though Christians have been present in Syria since the first century, Islam is the main religion.
Since the war broke out in 2011, Islamic extremist groups, that were previously oppressed by the government, have been able to operate openly.
Many of these extremist and violent groups, such as the Islamic State, seek to remove Christianity from Syria.

3. PRAY FOR OUR PERSECUTED FAMILY
Pray for those who persecute the Christians in Syria, that they will experience the love of God and have a change of heart.
Pray for the believers who choose to stay in Syria, that the joy of the Lord will be their strength in the midst of persecution.
Pray for many Christians whose families have been torn apart by the war, that the Lord will restore and reunite them.
