Christians in Algeria need prayer for encouragement, fellowship and effective ministry. Fewer than 1 percent of Algerians are Christians, and many Algerian followers of Christ live in areas where there is not a single church. A front-line worker met with one of those isolated Christians. During their visit, the two walked through the man’s city, praying for him and praying that more of the city’s residents would hear the gospel and learn of God’s love for them. “He is a very lonely brother,” said the worker. The front-line worker also met with a university student in another part of the country who said some Christian fellowships were being established and that those communities are growing. He asked for prayer that the Christians in those groups will stand firm and that doors will open to share the gospel with more students.<\/p>\n
