Stories from Algeria
How to Pray
01
Pray for the transformational change in the hearts of the new Kabyle Berber believers in Algeria, that they would love the Lord and those of the Arab majority religion.
02
Pray that the student believers at university in Algeria will see many come to Christ in the universities and surrounding towns where they attend.
03
Pray for protection and boldness of believers to continue the vision to see many Algerians coming to Christ in spite of government pressure and persecution.
04
Pray that foreign believers struggling with business and visa issues would be able to stay in Algeria and continue to share the gospel.
Unreached people groups live in areas where Christ is unknown and there is little to no local church presence.
Make Jesus known where he’s not yet known.
