42 Comoros
What does persecution look like in Comoros?
Comoros‘ state religion is Islam, and it’s illegal for a person to share about any faith other than Sunni Islam. Any foreigner suspected of proselytizing can be deported, while local Christians who preach Christianity will be prosecuted. Christian worship (and any non-Islamic form of worship) cannot be carried out in public. Christians can only legally worship in three designated churches. Converts from Islam can face significant pressure, as can anyone who is found to have Christian materials in their possession.
How can I pray?
- Pray for Christians who have come to a saving knowledge of Christ out of Islam. Ask God to protect them.
- Ask God to give secret Christians the knowledge that they belong to a global family. Ask Him to help them meet even one other Christian this year.
- Pray that the government of Comoros will ease their restrictions on practicing the Christian faith and will treat all religions fairly.
