Saudi Arabia
Source of persecution: Islamic extremism
There is no provision for religious freedom in the constitution of this Islamic kingdom. All citizens must adhere to Islam and conversion to another religion is punishable by death. Public Christian worship is forbidden; worshippers risk imprisonment, lashing, deportation and torture. Evangelising Muslims and distributing non-Muslim materials is illegal. Muslims who convert to Christianity risk honour killings, and foreign Christian workers have been exposed to abuse from employers. Despite this, converts are responding to Christian TV programs and to dreams and visions from God.
Pray:
Ask God to protect Christians who boldly share their faith despite the risks
For isolated believers who face rejection and persecution from their families
That God will continue to draw people to Himself through satellite TV, radio and supernatural dreams.
