How can we pray for you?

Introduction to Libya:

Libya, located in North Africa along the Mediterranean Sea, has a population of about 7 million people. Nearly all Libyans are Muslim, and the country is considered one of the most difficult places in the world to be a follower of Jesus. Open Christian worship is forbidden for Libyan citizens, and conversion from Islam is both socially and legally dangerous. Despite ongoing conflict, political instability, and persecution, God is at work. A small number of Libyan believers worship in secret, and some hear the gospel through satellite TV, radio, or online. The church is largely underground, but faithful. Let’s lift up this nation in prayer, believing that no heart is beyond the reach of the gospel.
