Every month, our Missions team invites us to pray for a different country, region or people group from around the globe.
This month’s prayer focus is Syria and Jordan. Together, these predominantly Muslim nations have about 37 million people, with Christians making up just 2.4% (about 900,000). Jordan continues to host refugees from Syria, Palestine, Sudan, Iraq and elsewhere. Christians face challenges reaching Muslim neighbours, while converts from Islam can face severe persecution. In Syria, Christians face increasing persecution, particularly from Islamist groups. Both governments restrict evangelism and Bible distribution.
The Missions team invites you to pray for:
- Boldness: Pray for revival among traditional Christian communities and courage to reach Muslim neighbours.
- Protection: Pray for new believers & missionaries facing persecution, harassment, or surveillance.
- Wisdom for Leaders: Pray for leaders to uphold human rights, religious freedom, and reconciliation.
- Salvation: Pray that many Muslims would turn to Christ through the proclamation of the gospel.
- The Church: Pray that the local church would be a beacon of hope and peace.
