Presentation transcript:

THE #4 PLACE WHERE CHRISTIAN PERSECUTION IS WORST All Libyans are considered to be Muslim and are forbidden from going to church. Those who leave Islam to follow Jesus have to hide their faith, especially from their family. Anyone suspected of becoming a Christian is pressured, often violently, to renounce their faith. Bibles and other Christian literature are forbidden and there are severe consequences for Christians being caught with them.

PRAY FOR OUR PERSECUTED FAMILY Pray for new Christians in Libya will be strengthened and encouraged through the Holy Spirit, especially those who have converted from Islam and are isolated from other believers. Pray many Libyans will continue to hear the Gospel through Christian TV and web broadcasts. Pray that the violence experienced by many in Libya will lead them to seek the comfort and peace of God.
