Praise Points

Lord Jesus, we thank You for Oman’s stability and peace, allowing Christians to gather quietly in worship. “I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness” (1 Timothy 2:1–2).

Abba Father, we are grateful that radio Bible broadcasts are reaching believers in Oman and feeding them with Your Word despite restrictions. “So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of Christ” (Romans 10:17).

Almighty God, we thank You that the seed of the Gospel was planted long ago in the Gulf and has not been uprooted but endures even under hardship. “The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the Word of our God endures forever” (Isaiah 40:8).

Prayer Points

Lord Jesus, we cry out against the heavy surveillance and monitoring of churches that create fear among believers. Break through the chains of oppression. “Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom” (2 Corinthians 3:17).

Abba Father, we pray against the restrictions on internet access that prevent Christians from freely accessing Your Word and fellowship. Open new doors for the Gospel. “The Word of God is not bound” (2 Timothy 2:9).

Almighty God, protect Your people from the rising persecution that threatens to silence Christian witness. Strengthen their faith in the midst of trial. “Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer… Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you life as your victor’s crown” (Revelation 2:10).

A Call to Salvation

Lord Jesus, empower Christian parents and leaders to disciple teenagers in boldness and truth so that the next generation will not abandon their faith. “Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord” (Ephesians 6:4).

Abba Father, give Omani Christian Believers the courage to live holy lives and witness to Christ, even in secrecy, so that the Gospel continues to shine. “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His wonderful light” (1 Peter 2:9).

Lord Jesus, unite scattered churches and house fellowships in Oman, keeping them faithful and strong together so that Christianity will not fade away. “Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace” (Ephesians 4:3).

Oman is a 10/40 Window region country in the Arabian Peninsula. While Oman is overwhelmingly Muslim, Christianity has had a small presence since the arrival of early missionaries and church leaders connected to the ancient Church of the East, who established small Christian communities in the Gulf. Later, Catholic and Protestant missionaries also visited the region in the modern era, though strict government controls limited their influence.

Today, Christian Believers (including expats) in Oman face deep struggles—living under constant surveillance, with churches monitored by the police, restricted access to online Christian resources, and rising persecution that leaves them isolated. Yet, many secretly tune in to radio Bible programs, which remain a lifeline for their faith.

Oman’s Church is under threat not only from state pressure and internet restrictions but also from the fear that silence and secrecy will erode Christian witness.

Praise Points

Lord God Almighty, we praise You for the churches and Christian communities that continue to worship You despite challenges. “But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession” (1 Peter 2:9).

Prayer Points

Almighty God, protect young Christian girls from forced marriages, bride kidnappings, and sexual assault, and let justice prevail for the vulnerable. “The Lord watches over the foreigner and sustains the fatherless and the widow” (Psalm 146:9).

Gracious Heavenly Father, we pray against the pressures of secularism, discrimination, and government restrictions that threaten the Church. Strengthen believers to remain faithful. “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:8).

Gracious God, guard Your Church in Kazakhstan from syncretism and compromise with cultural or religious practices that violate Your Word. “Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common?” (2 Corinthians 6:14).

A Call to Salvation

Father God, raise Christian families who teach their children to love and follow You faithfully, even under social pressure. “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it” (Isaiah 54:13).

Lord Jesus, empower believers to live with holiness, courage, and integrity, modeling Christlike behavior to their communities. “But just as He who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do” (1 Peter 1:15).

Almighty God, unite the churches in Kazakhstan for discipleship, mentorship, and evangelism, ensuring that the next generation does not abandon the faith. “And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds” (Hebrews 10:24).

Kazakhstan is a Central Asian country in the 10/40 Window. The nation traces its roots to Turkic nomadic traditions, Islamic heritage, and Russian influence. Christianity arrived in the region through Russian Orthodox missionaries in the 18th century, followed by Protestant missions in the 19th and 20th centuries, including leaders from the Russian Orthodox Church and European Protestant societies who established churches and schools.

Today, Christian teenagers in Kazakhstan face severe challenges. Dealing with immense societal pressure, discrimination, to extreme violence against young Christian girls such as forced marriage to Muslims.  Abduction practices such as bride kidnapping or sexual assault create fear and vulnerability. The Church is under threat from rising secularism, strict government regulations on religious activity, and social pressures to conform to dominant Islamic norms.
