Praying For Our Fellow Believers Around the World

admin — Thu, 17 Feb 2011 17:28:20 +0000

This week we pray for our fellow Christians in Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is an Islamic state committed to its role as custodian of Islam and its holiest sites. The country’s enormous oil wealth has financed global Islamic expansion. Billions of dollars are spent every year to propagate Islam. Most Saudis are Wahhabi Sunnis. Wahhabi extremists are known for their harsh dislike of non-Muslims. Saudi Arabia is 92.83% Muslim and 4.54% Christian. Saudi Arabia is the second most repressive nation in the world for Christians. Converts from Islam to Christianity are rare in this nation. Barriers to spreading the Gospel are intense. Leaving Islam is punishable by death. Anyone who does mission work or converts a Muslim faces jail, expulsion, lashing, torture or execution. Christians are regularly imprisoned or deported and Christian churches are banned.
