DAY 7: NIGER & KYRGYSTAN NIGER, WEST AFRICA Four recent attacks raise concern over the escalation of militant Islam in Niger. Growing fear led authorities to increase security around the capital and Western embassies. According to the Alliance of Missions and Evangelical Churches in Niger, “The militants’ activity is a global threat that goes beyond Niger. The Church must persevere in teaching the Good News. It must preach peace and love of neighbor.” Pray for an end to radical Islam in Niger. Ask the Lord to protect His Church during this time of violence and upheaval. Pray for Nigerien Christian Believers to continue sharing their faith and preaching the Gospel of Peace (The Bible, Ephesians 6:15). KYRGYZSTAN, CENTRAL ASIA In Naryn, police arrested three members of the Islamic radical group Hizb Ut-Tahrir. Authorities believe one of the detainees is the leader of the cell. The government charged them with “inciting religious hatred” and “illegal possession of extremist materials.” In the past year, the police arrested a number of Hizb Ut-Tahrir members across Kyrgyzstan. Pray that Islamic extremism does not grow in Kyrgyzstan. Pray for unity among Christian Believers. Pray for the growth of the Church in Kyrgyzstan (The Bible, Philippians 2:2).
