Weekly Prayer Updates for VOM Persecuted Christians

 

As we go about our daily lives and the freedoms that we are so greatly blessed with in a free society, may we stop each and every day and thank our Heavenly Father for the opportunities to openly worship without fear of reprisal or imprisonment. Take time each and every day to pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ around the world that are dealing with persecution even to the point of losing their life for His sake. Prayer is a mighty tool that God has given to us to use for His honor and glory. Take time right now to pray and ask God to give them victory in their lives in Jesus' name.

 

Thank you for praying for our persecuted brothers and sisters around the world. "Always respond to every impulse to pray. The impulse to pray may come when you are reading or when you are battling with a text. I would make an absolute law of this – always obey such an impulse." Martyn Lloyd-Jones "But if serving the LORD seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your ancestors served beyond the Euphrates, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my household, we will serve the LORD." – Joshua 24:15

MOROCCO — Officials Raid Christian Meeting — VOM
Contacts

On Feb. 4, Moroccan military authorities raided a Christian
meeting and arrested 18 people. The authorities also
confiscated Bibles and personal belongings, according to
The Voice of the Martyrs contacts. “We were surprised by
more than 60 Moroccan Gendarmes attacking the house
where we had just started our Bible study,” a VOM contact
said. “Eleven believers (including an American), two non-
believers and five children … were by the Moroccan
government for 14 hours.” After 14 hours in detention, the
American was deported and the others were released. “It’s
the first time in our current Moroccan church history that
the Moroccan government used this size of a legion to
attack a small Christian meeting,” VOM contacts added. “All
the time they kept repeating that this was ordered
personally by the new Moroccan Justice Minister [Mohamed
Naciri] and by the highest level General of the Gendarmerie
[Housni Benslimane].” Pray for believers in Morocco. Pray
that God will protect these believers and grant them peace
as they face these new challenges. Also pray that the
authorities will return their confiscated belongings. Ask
God to draw the persecutors into fellowship with him.

CHINA — Christians Arrested, Church Leader Imprisoned —
ChinaAid

On Oct. 19, Neixiang police officials arrested 60 Christians
attending a worship service, according to ChinaAid
Association. After charging them with “disturbing social
orders under the name of religious activities,” police fined
the believers and put five brothers in 10 days administrative
detention. On Oct. 30, police decided to increase the
sentence of the church’s leader, Guo Quanyou, to one year
re-education through labor in addition to an exorbitant fine.
“When the police came to brother Guo’s home to arrest
him, they brutally pushed Guo’s wife, Chen Hailan, to the
floor,” ChinaAid reported. “The impact caused a
concussion and broke her 12th vertebra. Chen Hailan
continues to suffer from severe migraines and can barely
move her back from the pain.” Pray that Guo Quanyou will
be released and that the exorbitant fines will be dropped.
Ask God to heal Hailan, and pray that the faithfulness of
these believers will draw non-believers to Christ.

EGYPT — Update: Christian Youths Tortured — VOM
Canada, Assyrian International News agency

Christian youths who were arrested in Nag Hammadi, Egypt,
on Christmas Eve have been severely tortured, according to
VOM Canada and Assyrian International News Agency. The
youths were among dozens of Christians arrested on
Christmas Eve after an attack on believers leaving a
midnight mass, and 15 remain in detention. They have been
charged with “rioting and resisting the authorities.” Several
youths who were released said they were severely tortured
and were ordered to falsely testify that Bishop Kyrollos, the
Coptic Bishop of Nag Hammadi, had encouraged them to
make demonstrations. “We had to take our clothes off, and
we were with electrodes … for eight hours. Electric shocks
only stopped when we could take it no longer,” one of the
believers said. Pray that God will heal these young men
physically and emotionally and that all these believers will
remain steadfast in their faith. Pray that God will protect the
15 who remain in detention. Finally, pray for justice in this
case, and pray that those who tortured the youths will
repent and come to know Christ.
