Moroccan Convert Serving 15 Years for His Faith

Nearly five years into the prison sentence of the only Christian in Morocco serving time for his faith, Moroccan Christians and advocates question the harsh measures of the Muslim state toward a man who dared speak openly about Jesus.

Bakrim, a Berber from southern Morocco, studied political science and law in Rabat. After completing his studies he travelled to Europe, where he became a Christian. Realizing that it would be difficult to live out his new-found faith in Morocco, in 1993 he applied for political asylum in the Netherlands, but immigration authorities refused him and expelled him when his visa expired.

Rachid asked that Christians around the world continue to lobby and pray that their Moroccan brothers and sisters stand firm and gain their freedoms.

“The biggest need is to stand with the Moroccan church and do whatever it takes to ask for their freedom of religion,” said Rachid.

Pray for my brother Peter, he just lost his wife.

COLOMBIA: Pastor Reyes missing two years.

On 25 September 2008, Pastor William Reyes disappeared and was never seen again. Because of his position as a pastor, he had been repeatedly threatened and targeted by armed groups for several years before his disappearance. Two years on his wife, Idia Miranda Reyes, is bravely speaking up about her husband’s disappearance in the UK.

CSW is bringing Idia on a speaking tour of UK churches this autumn, giving her the chance to tell her inspiring faith story. But, to do this, we need your help! Please join us in praying for Idia’s visa to be granted swiftly, so that she can share her story with you in person.

Please pray for R. she is abused when she was only 11 years old. She is now 15. She needs restoration and healing, some times thoughts of killing her self creeps in her mind. On her school she is not doing good. Please Lord help this young girl.
INDONESIA: Church leaders attacked in Bekasi.

In the Jakarta suburb of Bekasi, the Batak Christian Protestant Church is recovering from the attack on two of its leaders by Islamic hardliners in public earlier this month – one stabbed and the other beaten. In democratic, diverse Indonesia such religious violence is feared to be on the increase. Please pray for them and their churches.
