#34 in Christian persecution, Tunisia
Christians face discrimination and targeting that is often obscure and hidden to the public eye and affects their day-to-day lives. Because of their Christian identities, many experience job insecurities, abandonment from family, friends and even fiancés; they are victims of verbal, mental and physical abuse. Pray they experience God’s love when they are rejected by man.It is difficult for Christians to gather for worship and fellowship due to risk of exposure. Pray believers would have the courage to meet together and pursue Christian fellowship.Christians experience persecution in their neighborhoods. Neighbors, for instance, will exclude converts from social gatherings and are likely to cause converts to lose their jobs. Pray that God will provide for these believers.Violent radical Islamic groups are active in the border areas to the south. They will target any Christian, whether foreign of national, if the opportunity arises. Pray for the safety of these believers. Pray for Tunisia
