Carl Moller at Open Doors writes, ‘Fundamental Islamic groups have orchestrated violent protests against the Syrian government. This could result in a new regime even worse than the present brutal one President Assad. If a change of power occurs- the revenge of the Sunnis could be bloodier than the 8,300+ deaths that have occurred. Christians in dozens of countries around the world face similar complex dilemmas where they cannot count on governments to protect them. But they can count on the prayers of the church and the power of God through His Word to see them through whatever battles are coming. Leah in Syria said, ‘Before I didn't see the importance of prayer, then I began to see how the people of God are coming together in fasting and prayers and understand what it means to be the body of Christ. My faith is stronger because I am not alone.’

Pray: for Leah and millions like her who ask us to pray for their safety and courage. (Ps.31:2)
