Pray for: Brunei

Islam dominates life in Brunei. The Islam practised here is conservative, but not radical. Pressure results in a slow stream of converts to Islam from among the tribal and Chinese minorities. The constitution guarantees religious freedom, but it is illegal to evangelize and illegal for a Muslim to convert to another religion. Government agents often go undercover in other religious groups to monitor them. The Sultan is considered the world’s 2nd wealthiest royal. He established a world-class university, and now works to hand over rule smoothly to the crown prince. Pray for conversions to Christ in the large royal family. Pray for spiritual openness and for religious freedom.
