THE #15 PLACE WHERE CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION IS WORST The Church in Syria has been around since the times of the New Testament. Today, Christians live in the midst of a complex civil war. Violence and persecution can come from extremist groups and families of Christian converts. Since 2011, over half of the Christian population have fled the country. Churches in Syria have been targeted by extremists, and pastors have been kidnapped. For Christians living in rebel-held territory, the risk of persecution and violence is very high. Even though they are faced with this threat, many Christians have chosen to stay.

PRAY FOR OUR PERSECUTED FAMILY Pray that the Lord will restore peace to Syria. Pray that God will continue to provide for the many displaced people and refugees. Pray that the Syrian Church will have courage and strength and share the Gospel in their country.
