Prayer Points

COLOMBIA - Conflict again broke out as armed groups attacked each other. It’s a reminder that any peace in the country is tenuous. Ask God to bring about peace.

SYRIA - Pray for converts from Islam that they would find love and fellowship, even if family and friends reject them, and that they would feel God’s closeness as they decide how best to live out their faith.

SYRIA - Pray with Judy, a graduate of the counselling school that Open Doors supports. “My counsellor helped me overcome this difficult time after the war and earthquake. I wish to see this turning point for others.”

SYRIA - In the aftermath of the fall of the Assad regime, many Christians live with constant uncertainty. Pray that believers would lean on God as their “rock eternal” (Isaiah 26:4).

CHINA - Since their house church was raided again last year, church leaders Lan* and her husband Qian* face intense pressure. “Please pray with us,” Lan asks. “I do feel afraid at times.”

CHINA - Many believers in China worship in unregistered churches, knowing that at any point, their church could be shut down. Pray for protection and courage in the face of uncertainty.

CHINA - Youth under 18 are forbidden from attending church or religious gatherings. Pray for young believers and their parents that God would raise up a new generation of Chinese Christians who follow Jesus with passionate devotion.

MYANMAR - Ask God to protect church leaders and evangelists in Myanmar who risk their lives to bring God’s Word and discipleship training to Christians in remote areas. Pray for their travels and for peace and comfort.

MYANMAR - The country’s civil war continues, now in its fifth year. Christians are targeted and discriminated against by the ruling military junta. Pray for a change of heart in the authorities.

SAUDI ARABIA - Pray for single Christians, for opportunities to meet each other. Finding a significant other has been and continues to be a big challenge for Christians. Many long for marriage.
