Prayer for the Nations: Lybia
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.
Call to Action:
This week, we invite you to pray for Libya. Pray for courage and protection for secret believers, for the gospel to reach those searching for truth, and for a future harvest of souls in this hardened land.
Ways to Pray for Libya:
- Pray for the underground church, that believers would remain strong and encouraged in their faith.
- Ask God to protect those who follow Jesus in secret, shielding them from persecution and betrayal.

Conclusion:

Let’s believe together that Christ will build His church—even in Libya—and the gates of hell will not prevail against it.
