Kuwait
By law only Muslims can become Kuwaiti citizens. Christians are severely marginalized with few civil rights. The government provides tax incentives to Muslims that are unavailable to those of other faiths. Authorities have even purchased Bibles in order to burn them.
Foreign Christians are permitted to have a few worship centers. Proselytizing Muslims is forbidden.

Call to Destroy Churches
In KUWAIT an Islamist member of parliament announced a coming draft law that would remove all churches from the country, or at least prohibit new churches. When consulted, the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia declared that “it is necessary to destroy all churches” in Kuwait.
Pray that the threatened churches will remain steadfast in the Lord “For if many died through one man’s trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many.”
