Prayer for the Persecuted Church: Kenya

Although there is full freedom of religion and much of the population professes to be Christian, the church faces severe persecution from Muslims on the north eastern border with Somalia. In some areas, an increase in persecution is the result of aggressive evangelism by the church. There is great pressure on Christian leaders in the Muslim-dominated communities and some have been won over by Muslim leaders.

Pray

• For strength and faithfulness for Christian leaders working in Muslim-dominated areas
• For greater unity among the churches in the north eastern and coastal regions of the country
• For churches and Christian organizations working with Somali refugees.
• Pray that many would be transformed by God's love. 

Dear Lord:

We thank you for the freedom of religion and the many individuals in Kenya who have already accepted your love and grace.  Remind them of the truth of your word as those of other faiths seek to turn them from You.  We pray that you would encourage and strengthen those in areas of turmoil.  May your protection be upon those who seek who assist the many refugees seeking safety in Kenya.  Amen.
