Christians Face Opposition on Multiple Fronts

[131] prayers in [11] nations have been posted for Algerian Christians.


The Algerian Christian community has struggled in multiple ways since the government forced numerous churches across the country to close in 2017. While some Algerian followers of Christ have faced governmental pressures, others, especially those who have left Islam to follow Christ, are dealing with opposition from their own families. Malak is an Algerian Christian who is currently facing both pressures. After he committed his life to Christ, his wife divorced him, and he rarely sees his children. He has also been accused of proselytizing, which can lead to a jail sentence. Pray for Malak and other Algerian Christians like him, and pray that Algerian Christians will have greater freedom to meet and worship and speak about their faith.

  • according unto the King James Bible by his witnesss. I pray they are able to understand it and be convicted of their conscience that they are sinners. I pray they realize the wages of sin is death and that Islam will only lead them to hell and then the lake of fire. I pray they realize thou are LORD of lords and not a prophet as the manmade Quran lies.
