Praying for the Persecuted Church - Libya


September is already in full swing and so we need to get praying for a new country!

Join me in lifting up Libya and the Christians that are there this month. Please just take a few moments each day to remember and pray for our brothers and sisters in Libya. We are one body in Christ and we should be praying for those who are suffering.

An article from the Mission Network News on August 24th said,

"Given the significance of the persecution and harassment in Libya, just 3% of the population is believers. That begs the question: Is Libya home to a remnant church? Nettleton replies, 'There is a vibrant group of believers that are there, that are sharing the Gospel. So while I would say a 'remnant' is a fair description, don't be confused into thinking that there aren't really bold, on-fire believers there, because there absolutely are.' "

Let us join and lift up those 3%, pray:

that they would be bold in sharing their faith
that the Lord would protect them and watch over them
that He would give them wisdom
that He would blind the eyes of those who wish to persecute Christians
that He would open the doors to religious freedom in Libya
That He would pour out His Spirit afresh on the Christians in Libya, giving them courage, hope, faith, joy, peace and love.

Your prayers truly do make a difference in the spiritual battle that is being fought right not across the world.

Keep it up!
