Prayer Requests
Furthermore, as for me, far be it from me that I would sin against the Lord by ceasing to pray for you; but I will instruct you in the good and right way.
-1 Samuel. 12:23
THIS MONTH’S COUNTRY TO PRAY FOR: Russia
This month’s nation to pray for is Russia.
Simonov and Kurmoyarov are a part of the Russian Orthodox Church, representing 71% of Russia’s population. While this majority is protected under Russia’s religious law as a “traditional” religion viewed as a religion loyal to the Russian government, there are still threats to those who take any stand against the government’s actions.
Russia maintains blasphemy laws punishing those who “offend the religious feelings of believers.” The report released by USCIRF describes those who have been punished recently for violating this rule, including a woman who has criminal charges against her due to her depiction of Jesus in four paintings she created.
The current situation in Russia has led to many Christians being persecuted for making any statements about their faith that could be construed as being related to the invasion of Ukraine. With this situation in mind, Russia is a country of particular Concern.
