Northern African and Middle Eastern Peoples

After more than 14 years of war, Syrian Christians are facing new threats as the new government gains more power. The majority of Syrian Christians do not have a personal relationship with Christ as they trust in the religion of their ethnicity to save them, yet they are willing to suffer and die for the Christian name. Pray that they will come to know the One whom they are being persecuted and dying for. Ask that their hardships and deaths will not be empty works, but that the Father will use it to multiply His kingdom. Pray for the believers among them who are continuing to be “strong and courageous” like Joshua even when they see giants in the land. Ask that they will have much wisdom and boldness to continue ministering to those who are suffering and share the hope of Christ with those who have not heard. Ask the Father to change the hearts of those who are hurting Christians and reveal Himself to many as He did to Paul on the road to Damascus. May He be glorified again in Syria.
