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

While most Christians in Yemen are expatriates, a small number of Yemeni converts must keep their faith secret amid extreme hostility. Conversion from Islam to Christianity is considered apostasy by law, and the consequences for those who convert include imprisonment, forced renunciation of their faith, or even the threat of death. Yemen’s extreme poverty has been multiplied by the ongoing civil war which began in 2014. Persecution and vulnerability of religious minorities has worsened significantly in that time. Pray for courage and guidance for Yemeni Christians as they worship in secret and endure hardships. Pray for the civil war to end and genuine freedom of worship to be established.
