Christians in Algeria

Algeria has seen a sharp rise in official and unofficial discrimination against Christians over the last few months. Since the beginning of this year, some 20 churches have been closed; many of them have been operating officially for many years. There have also been numerous arrests of Christians, often on questionable charges. (Extract from recent Barnabas Fund newsletter.)

Please pray for those suffering persecution and living in the fear of such persecution. If you are able,please write to the Algerian ambassador and/or government. Details can for that are here, as is a full report on the situation in Algeria.
