Prayer Points

1. 1.Pray for Oman in Asia, ruled by Sultan and Prime Minister Haitham bin Tarik Al Said in an absolute monarchy form of government. Christians in Oman face persecution from Islamic oppression. [Open Doors World Watch List #38]
2. 2.While foreign Christians living in Oman are mostly able to practise their faith with little interference, native Omanis can face severe restrictions if they convert from Islam. Pray that God will protect these believers and help them to safely find a Christian community.
3. 3.Pray that Christians, especially new believers, will remain trusting and hopeful, even as authorities try to squash their faith via different methods of persecution, such as summoning converts for interrogation.
4. 4.Thank God for the Omani monarchy’s tolerance for foreign Christians. Pray these believers would be salt and light in their communities within Oman.
5. 5.Any Christian who shares their faith can face consequences. Ask God to sustain believers and to help them to wisely and courageously live out the gospel.
