Instability Turns Some Toward Christ

[174] prayers in [11] nations have been posted for churches in Syria.

Regional instability has created an environment causing some Syrians to be more receptive to the gospel. “Syria is at a turning point,” said a front-line worker, telling how Islamist attacks against an Alawite community in March 2025 led some Alawites to question their faith and be more open to Christ. Additionally, battles between Sunni Bedouins and Druze militias in July 2025 also resulted in disillusionment with Islam. “We need to pray for the church to be ready for the harvest,” said the worker. “There are many open hearts, and we need to help the church be ready to answer questions.” The worker requested prayer for wisdom, unity and safety for the churches in Syria as the Christian minority remains vulnerable to attack. “It is hard to tell who is ISIS and who is government security,” he said.
