Pray for Christians Facing Severe Difficulties

[203] prayers in [17] nations have been posted for Christians in Mali.

The conflict between government forces and Islamic rebel groups in northern Mali has left Christians vulnerable to persecution, especially Christian converts from Islam. Medical workers and other aid organizations have left the area, travel is difficult, and resources are few, leaving many hungry and sick. Government forces deliver humanitarian aid to Muslims first and often have nothing left for Christians. In addition to facing discrimination by the government, Christian converts from Islam are threatened by family members and often must flee for their lives.

We ask that You will turn things around for them and their families. We ask for a hedge of protection on them and angels directly from heaven to minister to them. Amen.
