Citizens are not usually incarcerated for their beliefs or peaceful activity in the West. Elsewhere Christian prisoners of conscience are threatened, not merely by criminals, but by an environment of unsanitary conditions, infectious diseases, untreated illness and extreme tortures at the hands of the authorities. These human rights abuses are enabled by a worldview that diminishes and even negates the Christian's value as a human being. Thousands of Christians are in prison for their faith, while others are held captive by jihadists. Pray for human rights lawyers like Gao Zhisheng (China), humble labourers like Aasia Bibi (Pakistan) and foreign nationals like Andrew Brunson (an American pastor in Turkey), Sister Gloria Narvaez (a missionary in Mali), and Dr Ken Elliot (an Australian missionary doctor in Burkina Faso). Pray for all prisoners and captives suffering physically, emotionally, and spiritually, exhausted and confused. Pray for those heartbroken by separation from family and friends.
