Believers Forced to Worship Quietly

Syria
the Middle East

June 16, 2011

Christians in SYRIA had to keep Easter celebrations quiet earlier this year and canceled public celebrations. Believers fear that the current power struggle among Muslims in Syria will cause Christians to lose even the relative freedoms they enjoy. Some Muslims are calling for Jihad.

Pray that Syrian believers will stand fast in their faith. “We give thanks to You, O God; we give thanks, for Your name is near.”
