Pray for the Persecuted

Posted: 31 Oct 2012 04:30 AM PDT

Each week, we will post some specific ways that we can be praying together for our brothers and sisters around the world who are actively sharing in Christ's suffering through persecution.  Take some time to lift the believers in each of these regions before our Father in heaven.  At the same time, pray for those enacting the persecution to be kindly drawn to repentance and to experience new life through faith in Jesus.

IN IRAQ

 

"God enabled this nursery to be opened. Only He will close it, if that’s what must happen.” In response to threats of closure by the government, “Aran” and his wife are unwavering.  They have faced much opposition from authorities who, they suspect, want them shut down because they are Christians.  Meanwhile, children struggling with the trauma from their war-torn country are receiving the love and care they need.

PRAY

  • Pray that God will grant them divine favor with the community they are in and with the inspectors and authorities that are over them.
  • Ask the Lord to continue to use Aran and his wife to show children Jesus at an early age, and pray that His love and good news spreads through the children to their families.
  • Pray that God will give Aran and his wife strength and perseverance in this trying time, and that many will come to know Him through what they are doing.
