Comoros Islands

Status the Persecuted Church in the Comoros Islands
January 15, 2010
Muslim Population: 98% (Christian Population: 2%)
Although the nominal Christian population is 2%, there are fewer than 200 evangelical Christians in the entire country. There are three churches, but only foreigners are permitted to attend them. Comoran people are not allowed to meet for any kind of Christian service, and they are forbidden to witness in public. If a citizen is discovered to have any Christian literature, he can be severely fined and imprisoned. Believers are forced to attend Muslim prayer services under threat of brutal beatings and/or dismissal from their jobs.

Prayers for persecuted Christians in Comoros Islands

World’s Outcast, Child of God

March 3, 2012

When a man in the Comoros Islands was returning from a prayer meeting, he found evidence of a burglary. He told the police, but they turned the investigation around on him. Instead of focusing on the Muslim youth who broke in, they focused on the Bible and Jesus Film that they found at the crime scene.

Outcast Suffering from Disease

March 3, 2012

A Muslim background believer in the COMOROS ISLANDS has been disowned by his family and is suffering from a skin disease contracted in prison. A Muslim broke into his home and police beat him and imprisoned him in deplorable conditions. He has been released, but is an outcast.

Pray for healing for his skin disease and for comfort in his loneliness. Pray also that his family will turn to Jesus. “Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.”

Prayer meeting crashed in Comoros

February 9, 2009

Police burst into a prayer meeting in the COMOROS ISLANDS.  After they ransacked the building and discovered Bibles, they arrested all those present.  The missionary who led the group was expelled from the country; others were detained for three months. 

Pray that they will stand firm in the faith, and that God will add many more to their number. "When I pour out my Spirit upon the house of Israel, declares the Lord GOD."

Comoros convert attacked by family

February 25, 2009

A formerly Muslim student who received Christ in the Comoros Islands was assaulted by his own family.  Neighbors rescued him, and he rented a house elsewhere while his wounds healed.  But when Muslims discovered his location, they razed the rental house.  He does not dare report the incident to police. 

O Lord, guard and guide your servant! “To those who are called, beloved in God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ.”
