Pray for CSW's campaign on repressive regimes running throughout 2012.
This week, please:
- Father, we lift our voices to you today and cry freedom for those countries caught in the cruel grip of repressive regimes. "If the Son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed." (John 8:35-37).
- Cry freedom for Burma from suffocating legislation that forces Christians to get permission to hold Christian meetings and read the Bible.
- Cry freedom for Cuba from the intimidation of church leaders which is at its highest level in the past twenty years.
- Cry freedom for China from the suffering of those who practise their religion outside of government-sanctioned bodies.
- Cry freedom for Eritrea from forces that keep 2,000 to 3,000 Christians detained in prison.
- Cry freedom for Iran from the arrest of over 300 Christians in the past year who suffer verbal and physical abuse.
- Cry freedom for North Korea from the threat to many Christians of facing public execution or of being taken away to brutal camps.
