Egyptian Churches Give Up on Helping to Create New Constitution
Debate over the proposed constitution in Egypt has been going on
for the last few months. Throughout this time it was unclear whether or
not the Christians would be given rights the same as Muslims or if
Christians would be stripped of all their rights. After conferring with
each other, the three main Christian churches in Egypt have withdrawn
their positions to form the new constitution.
Pray for the
safety of Christians, as the withdrawal of Christians from the formation
of the new constitution will cause outrage and perhaps violence towards
Christians.
Pray for the
Egyptian government. That they will take heed of the fact that
Christians do not want to form a constitution where they will have
no rights.
Pray for the
Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi. That God would reveal to him the
potential violence that may come towards Christians if he continues down
the path he has chosen.

Battle Over Public Prayer
in U.S. Heating Up
Hearing about legislation that results in the persecution of
Christians overseas is nothing new. However, legislation is starting to
form which will make it illegal to be able to pray before town hall
meetings in the United States. There has been an assault on town hall
meetings which allow for prayer before the beginning of meetings. If
legislation which makes this action illegal is established, a path could
be opened for much harsher legislation to also be established.
Pray for the
atheist groups that are behind this movement. That God would somehow
work in their lives so they could realize the wrong they are doing.
Pray for those
judges which will have to review these cases. That they will stand up
for the right to have prayer before town hall meetings.
Pray that Christians will let their voice be heard and that people will understand the importance of prayer in town hall meetings.

Christian "Untouchables" Face Continued Discrimination
It is not uncommon for Christians to be treated as second-class
citizens in countries where persecution is almost a daily occurrence.
However, it is extremely unique for Christians to be treated as
second-class citizens by their own brothers and sisters. This is
happening in India where Christian “untouchables”—those who rank low on the caste system and convert from Hindu to Christianity—are being persecuted by Christians and Hindus alike.
Pray for these Christians who are being persecuted. That they will continue to hold strong to their faith.
Pray for those
Christians who are persecuting their own brothers and sisters. Pray that
God would reveal to them the harm they are doing by persecuting their
fellow Christians.
Pray that the Indian government would offer some type of protection for these Christians.

Laos is a small country is Southeast Asia, but persecution is a big
problem. Laos is one of the five remaining communist countries left and
Christians have almost zero protection. Even the local law enforcement
agencies have tried to convert Christians back to ethnic religions but
have not succeeded.
Pray for the Christians in Laos, that they will remain strong in their faith.
Pray for the
Lao government, that some Christian influence would infiltrate the
government and protections would be given to Christians.
Pray for the organizations that are currently in Laos, trying to give aid to these persecuted Christians.

Calls Intensify to Designate Nigeria's Boko Haram as Terrorist Group
For the past three years, numerous organizations have called upon
the United States State Department to label Boko Haram as a Foreign
Terrorist Organization (FTO). However, every request has been shut down.
However, no one can refute the almost 3,000 deaths that have occurred
since Boko Haram’s rampage began in 2009 or that 700 of those deaths
have been Christians. When will the State Department take a stand?
Pray for the safety of Christians in Nigeria, as Boko Haram’s violent rampage continues.
Pray that the U.S. State Department will label Boko Haram as an FTO and that appropriate action will take place.
Pray that news
of Boko Haram’s activities increase so that people all over the world
may realize the serious threat that Boko Haram is to Nigeria.
