Syria is in desperate need of the peace that only Christ can bring. Even though Syria has been a secular state since its independence from France in 1946, Islam is the religion of the majority.  Syrian Christians enjoyed more freedom and stability than many of the surrounding nations before the infiltration of the Islamic State and the very bloody civil war,  Today Syria is among the countries that persecute Christians.  The Islamic State has kidnapped, tortured, and killed followers of Jesus in all the regions they claimed at any point in time.

Though many believers have fled the nation seeking safety, out of the ashes of death, new life is rising in Syria. God is continually drawing Syrians to Himself like the faith-filled New Testament Church of Antioch, 

Pray that today’s small and persecuted Syrian body of believers will rediscover the zeal and faith of their fathers to cause Christ’s love and hope to be poured out on a nation in great turmoil.

Pray for a swift end to the horrific civil war.  Pray that people of peace will begin to arise to leadership.

Pray for Jesus to reveal Himself to the millions of Muslims displaced by the Syrian war.

Pray for the Church tin Syria o be protected and expanded amid hostility.
