Last week a group in the Near East went on a prayer drive in a part of the city that desperately needs prayer. In the area of about 20,000 people, a small evangelic church faces opposition and problems. This small church is surrounded by at least 20 mosques. The main mosque’s leader often causes problems for the church with the local authorities and the Muslim brotherhood. The pastor has been called in for interrogation many times and has also been threatened by local Muslims.

Please pray for this small church to be able to stay true to God. Pray for the young people in the church that face pressure to become friends with and even date young Muslim girls and boys.

The pastor and his wife have been labouring in the church for nine years; pray for their renewed strength. Pray also for the financial situation for the family, as there is sometimes no money for milk for their two children.
