Oh my goodness. I just cannot believe that we are almost half way through October. Forgive me for not getting this month's prayer country up sooner. I just can't seem to keep up with time!
This month let's pray for Chechnya. Chechnya was originally part of the USSR and is now a federal subject of Russia. It has seen much violence in it's recent history. (wiki info)
Please keep our brothers and sisters in Christ living in Chechnya in your prayers this month.
Here are some things to pray for, from Open Doors
The church is very young, vulnerable and isolated. Fellowship with other believers is almost impossible. An Islamic revival is taking place in Chechnya; the largest mosque in the Caucasus has been built in Grozny. Christianity is associated with Russia and Chechen believers whose faith becomes public are seen as traitors to Islam and society. Local authorities and relatives monitor the activities of Christians and put great pressure on them to return to Islam.
Please pray :- That the few Christians would persevere in faith. Several have turned away from their faith as the pressure became too great
- That Christians may know how to live and witness in their situations
- For the many orphans whose parents were killed during the wars. Pray that God's love and compassion will reach their hearts and transform their lives.
