Somalia

Somalia is one of Africa’s most challenged states and the struggle for stability continues. Strong clan structures and several militant Islam factions make unity and peace a seemingly distant dream. Pray that any future rulers might learn from the past, govern the nation for the good of the people and grant true religious freedom.

Please pray the targeting of Christians by militant groups will cease, and for changes across society seeing an end to the persecution of believers at community and family level. Please pray for the safety of believers and for the Body of Christ to strengthen and flourish despite the existing obstacles. Please pray conditions will come into being allowing Christians including converts to openly express their faith, including collectively. Please pray those who target and seek to harm Christians will come to know God’s love, and God’s peace. Please pray God’s children across Somalia will come to know and follow Jesus.
