ALGERIA — Christians Face Opposition on Multiple Fronts
The Algerian government has closed many churches across the country.
The Algerian Christian community has struggled in multiple ways since the government forced numerous churches across the country to close in 2017.
While some Algerian followers of Christ have faced governmental pressures, others, especially those who have left Islam to follow Christ, are dealing with opposition from their own families. Malak is an Algerian Christian who is currently facing both pressures. After he committed his life to Christ, his wife divorced him, and he rarely sees his children. He has also been accused of proselytizing, which can lead to a jail sentence.
Pray for Malak and other Algerian Christians like him, and pray that Algerian Christians will have greater freedom to meet and worship and speak about their faith.
