Prayer for the day: Somalia, Africa Official Religion: Sunni Islam 99.67% Muslim, 0.33% Christian The Somali Church was driven underground in 1991 when the dictatorial regime of Mohamed Siyad Barre fell in a popular uprising. Most of the several hundred Somali believers went underground or fled the anarchy, taking refuge abroad. There are possibly about 4,000 Somali Christians in Somalia and twice that in the diaspora. Some meet in secret but others follow Jesus in isolation. Pray for protection as well as discipleship and fellowship opportunities. Even as targeted persecution of believers escalates, so does the boldness of the Church. But increasing numbers of believers are praying for their faith with their very lives. Pray for perseverance of Christians in this most difficult situation. Pray for Somali Christian families to be raised up- the great majority of Christians are men.- Operation World Where persecution of the Church is rampant the faith of the Church abounds. And that most of the brethren trusting in the Lord because of my imprisonment, have far more courage to speak the Word of God without fear. (Philippians 1:14)- Paul, imprisoned in Rome because of his faith, about the year A.D. 61
