July 5 | ERITREA #6
Pray with Matthew, an Eritrean leader of a refugee church. When Matthew’s faith was discovered, he was imprisoned in a military camp. Once released, he made the difficult decision to flee his country. Now he witnesses the heartaches and challenges of those who search for freedom beyond Eritrea.

July 31 | IRAN #10
During 2017, at least 52 Christians were arrested. Many of them (especially converts from Islam) have been prosecuted and sentenced to long jail terms. Their families face public humiliation, and as a result, will likely disown them. Some will even attack family members who have left Islam to follow Jesus. Pray for strength and protection for these believers.
