Sentence Reduced for Convicted Christians

[178] prayers in [15] nations have been posted for Believers in Algeria.

In December 2021, Algerian police raided a worship gathering and arrested 12 Christians. The believers spent 48 hours in jail before being charged with “unauthorized worship” and sentenced to a six-month suspended prison sentence and a $1,380 fine. The believers appealed in April 2022, and the fine was reduced by half. Praise God for the reduction in the Christians’ sentence, and pray that the believers can worship freely without oppression by Algerian authorities.

  • LORD, thank You for this victory for those hopefully in Your body. May their witness and Your word in the A1611 Bible bring many to repent of their sins in Algeria. May many more believers in You come by Your increase. I pray the fruits would come about in changed lives sanctified in Your word. May the authorities repent before any future persecution.
