This week's unreached nation is Libya and in spite of it's rich Christian history, Christians today face intense persecution and even death. The majority of Christians in the nation are not Libyans but are foreign nationals and migrant workers. It is illegal for them to share their faith publicly and they face death for doing so.
This week's fun fact that inspired the following card is this:
Bette Peak is the highest mountain in Libya being 7,434 feet tall. Also known as Bikku Bitti, the mountain is found in southern Libya at the Chad-Libyan border. The first documented climb of the Bette Peak was by Ginge Fullen alongside his Chadian guides in December 2005. Nonetheless, the mountain’s location makes access to it difficult and rare.
Please, join me in praying for the people of Libya.
- Pray for Libyan believers who are under immense pressure, particularly those who are arrested because of their faith. Pray for protection and release.
- Pray for those in power in Libya. Pray for peace and stability, and for an end to the proxy civil war. Years of anarchy and power struggles have taken many lives and eroded hope for the future, and Christians and other minorities have become very vulnerable in such a situation of lawlessness.
- Pray for new converts who have been baptized. Pray that they will find a group of believers to join – and rejoice that they have found Jesus.
