QATAR
Today we are praying for Qatar in the Middle
East – a country on the edge of the Persian
sea.
It has a population of 1.5 million with only
15,000 Evangelical Christians.
Qatar’s economy is based on oil and gas:
it currently faces international pressure
to reform inhuman treatment of migrant workers.
The influential TV broadcaster: Al-Jazeera
is based here.
You can use the following prayer points to
inform your own prayers or simply pray along
with me now.
Let’s pray:
Father God we bring Qatar before you.
Knowing that almost all Qataris follow Islam
Lord, we pray for more to hear of Jesus at
home and abroad.
Please begin a Church in Qatar and bring many
Christians from overseas to work in this country
to spread the gospel.
Father we pray for the Churches to be able
to meet despite regulations and financial
hardships which make this difficult.
Lord we praise you greatly for the land recently
offered by authorities for churches.
We pray that you would provide more spaces
where large existing Asian fellowships can
meet, worship and begin outreach.
We pray for the believers amongst Filipino,
Western, Indian, Lebanese and other people
groups living in Qatar, help them to bear
fruitful witness.
Lord please also use Christian radio stations,
TV channels and websites to reach into the
homes and hearts of all who live in Qatar.
Lord in all this we ask you to work powerfully
to open many eyes and hearts in Qatar, for
your glorious name’s sake we pray, Amen
These prayers have been informed by the excellent
book Operation World published by IVP.
