Churches Ordered to Close

Algeria

July 6, 2011

On May 22 the governor of a province in ALGERIA ordered the closure of seven churches. He also threatened that all churches in the country will be closed. Despite threats, the seven churches met as usual the next weekend.

Pray for courage for these congregations. “So I ask you not to lose heart over what I am suffering for you, which is your glory.”
