Barnabas Aid works to provide hope and aid for suffering Christians.

In a country where most believers are foreign workers, any Christian evangelism in Saudi Arabia is punishable by imprisonment or deportation. Leaving Islam is officially punishable by death, although no executions are known to have taken place in recent years. In this stronghold of Islam, a notable acknowledgement of religious diversity occurred as the authorities allowed worship services for Egyptian and Eritrean Christians. Pray that Christians, both Saudi and expatriate, will sense the Lord’s presence as they serve Him amid restrictions and for an increase in freedom to express their faith.
