Pray for: Algeria

The growth of the Algerian Church over the past decade is an answer to prayer! Many years of hard work by missionaries and praying people produced beautiful fruit. Most believers come from a Kabyle Berber background, but faith grows among Arabs and most other people groups as well. The Christian community enjoys a spirit of unity, which stands out from the long history of conflict among ethnic groups. Some received supernatural visions of Jesus, but most came to Him through personal evangelism. New fellowships began throughout Algeria, partly because Berber believers moved into unreached Arab areas with the Gospel.

The Church has a very indigenous, truly Algerian way of expressing faith. Scriptures and study materials, worship styles, and even training and leadership reflect Algerian culture well. Algeria needs more workers to help strengthen the local church and to bring the gospel to the unreached millions. Several agencies reach out to Algerians through radio, literature, satellite TV, portable media, and Bible correspondence courses. Praise God for the increase of these resources, and pray for wider distribution! With the growing pressure on churches in Algeria from the government, it is very important to have Christian resources in languages and formats that will allow the persecuted church to continue to grow and spread.
