Prayer Calendar

Sunday, 30 Aug 26

Dear Lord, You are faithful and good! Help me today to hold onto your promises to protect the oppressed. When the world around us seems bad, help me to hold onto what is good. Help us as a church to stand together united in love and faith.

The Open Doors Worldwatch List shows the appalling list of countries where Christians suffer persecution because of their Christian faith. While we are so blessed to be able to attend church, read the Bible openly for ourselves, and attend Christian meetings, we remember our brothers and sisters in Christ living in countries where they are persecuted for their faith, and pray for them.

North Korea tops the list, where roughly 400,000 Christians live in a single-party Communist state, which is arguably the most dangerous place on earth to follow Jesus. If discovered, they (and often their families) face imprisonment in one of its notorious labour camps, or immediate execution. Believers do still gather, but in utmost secrecy and at enormous risk. Lord, have mercy..

2nd is Somalia, where Islamic oppression makes it difficult and dangerous to be a Christian, and openly following Jesus is impossible and it is illegal under Sharia law to convert from Islam to Christianity. We pray for those who do, and are usually disowned by their family, and sometimes executed by them. Christians have no legal protection, and are under surveillance, harassment and intimidation. Lord, have mercy.

A small number of Christians manage to survive in Yemen, threatened by both clan oppression and Islamic oppression. Converts from Islam face the death penalty for apostasy, creating an environment in which many feel forced to keep their faith secret, unable to enjoy fellowship with others. Christian men can be forced into militias; Christian women face forced marriages. Lord, have mercy.

In Sudan just 4.3% of the population of 2.2 million are Christians, and forced conversion and physical punishment threaten the lives of Christians across the country. Historical churches have been closed and often burnt, as have the homes of their leaders. Sexual violence is becoming a growing weapon against Christian women and girls; some are abducted and forced into sexual slavery. Men, especially church leaders, are subjected to beatings and imprisonment. Lord, have mercy.

We hear a lot about Syria on the world news, as the civil war has gone on for 14 years. The renewed violence has caused civilian deaths, mass displacement and the breakdown of an already-fragile ceasefire. Almost 200,000 people, mostly women and children, have been displaced, and millions are still entirely reliant on humanitarian aid. Lord, have mercy.
