Algeria Christians Face Opposition on Multiple Fronts

4/10/2025  (VOM)

The Algerian Christian community has been struggling in multiple ways since the government forced numerous churches across the country to close in 2017. While some Algerian followers of Christ have faced governmental pressures, others, especially those who have left Islam to follow Christ, are dealing with opposition from their own families. Malak is an Algerian Christian who is currently facing both types of pressure. After he committed his life to Christ, his wife divorced him, and he rarely sees his children. He has also been accused of evangelism, which can lead to a jail sentence.

Please pray…

• Pray for Malak and other Algerian Christians like him, that the Lord will encourage and support them in the midst of the persecution.

• Pray that Algerian Christians will have greater freedom to meet and worship and speak about their faith.

• Pray that Malak will not be arrested.

• Pray that Christians will be able to find other believers and regularly experience the blessing of fellowship, worship and Bible study in Jesus’ name.
