Presentation transcript:

Saudi Arabia is home to Mecca, the birthplace of Islam. THE #12 PLACE WHERE CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION IS WORST Saudi Arabia is home to Mecca, the birthplace of Islam. The only church buildings in the country are in ruins and there is no religious freedom. Converting to Christianity is the biggest sin a Muslim can commit, and is punishable by death. There is high pressure from the family, with new believers risking honour killings if their faith is discovered.

PRAY FOR OUR PERSECUTED FAMILY Pray that the Christians in Saudi Arabia will grow in their faith through Christian websites and TV programmes. Pray that Saudi believers will find ways to share Jesus with their family members. Pray that the Lord will help His children stay faithful to Him, even in a nation where it is so difficult to follow Him.
