We're going to lift up the nations of Eritrea and Sudan today. Because of human rights violations and persecution against Christians, Christians are forced to leave these countries and have fled to Egypt. Many refugees have sought political asylum in Egypt, which means they aren't citizens, but they are legally allowed to live in Egypt because it's too dangerous for them to go back to their countries. This has been taking place for years, but recently the Egyptian border patrol have been taking brutal measures against them. A few days ago thirty African refugees were shot and murdered while attempting to cross the border by the Egyptian border patrol.
Please pray that:
- The Lord would guard the Christians that are fleeing their countries because of persecution, they would be hidden in Him, and guards would be blind as these refugees make it to safety.
- Egyptian Christians would advocate for these people, and the hearts of government leaders would be softened and refugees would be granted asylum.
- The countries of Eritrea and Sudan would be transformed by the Gospel, Christians within them would count it all joy to face trials and persecution, and those who are persecuting would come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ so Christians are no longer forced to leave.
