Pray for the Christians in Qatar

–

About 10% of the population of Qatar is Christian. That sounds like a lot, but remember that most of those living in Qatar, aren’t Qatari. With the foreign influences, the government has allowed places where Christians can gather to worship, with some small differences and monitoring by the government. Filipino, Indian, and Lebanese non-citizen workers make up most of the Christian population, however there may be some Muslim background believers also. Muslim background believers, especially Qataris are susceptible to persecution in their families and society, which leads many to being secret believers. Perhaps for this reason there are no publicly known believers among the Qatari people. Let’s pray for these foreign believers who are strategically placed, and for converts from Islam, who experience much persecution.

• Pray for God to give believers in Qatar an outward focus and desire to befriend local Qataris and other Muslims living in Qatar and share the Gospel
• Pray for native Qatari seekers, that they would know they are not alone.
• Pray God will turn the heart of the Al Thani family, who is the governing monarchy in charge of Qatar, that they may soften towards the Gospel both personally and in the laws.
