Release International Prayer Shields: Malaysia and Iraq

Malaysia

Please continue to pray for strength and boldness for house church leaders in Malaysia who are a particular target for persecution.

Malaysia

Pray against ploys to tempt Christians in Malaysia to renounce their faith by people who offer business advantages or cash rewards.

Malaysia

The Malaysian Government is cracking down on anything it perceives to be evangelism aimed at Muslims. Pray that the gospel will spread regardless.

Malaysia

Continue to pray for Christians with a Muslim background in Malaysia. Release sources say many are in hiding for fear of being persecuted.

Malaysia

Pray for the success of a Release petition calling on the Malaysian Government to account for the disappearance of Pastor Raymond Koh. Pray that the international outcry over his abduction will help secure his release.

Malaysia

Please continue to pray for the safe return of Pastor Raymond Koh, who was abducted in Petaling Jaya in 2017. His whereabouts are unknown. Some have accused ‘state agents’ in Malaysia of kidnapping him.

Iraq

Many churches in Iraq have seen their congregations dwindle dramatically because so many have fled their homeland and sought sanctuary abroad. Pray for unity as congregations are re-formed.
