While Ethiopia is a majority-Christian nation, Islam is a growing force. Muslims now compose nearly 40 percent of the population, and Islamic extremists actively persecute Christians, sometimes violently, especially in areas close to the Somali and Sudanese borders. Sometimes the extremists destroy churches, and they recently set fire to one in the far western part of the country near the border with Sudan. The Christians in that area no longer have a place to meet for worship. Numerous churches have been destroyed in that area, but have been rebuilt.
Please pray…
Pray for the Christians in the persecuted regions to be able to stand firm in their faith.
Pray that they will continue to preach the gospel and that some of the Muslims who are persecuting them will come to faith in Christ.
Pray that the Lord will provide funds for the to rebuild their church building.
