Algeria

PRAYER FOR THIS COUNTRY

Praise Points

Praise God for growing the Algerian Church from the Muslim population. Praise God for answering the prayers of millions of global intercessors for expanding His Kingdom in the country (The Bible, Jeremiah 29:11).

Praise God for the perseverance of the Christian Believers in Algeria (The Bible, Romans 5:3).

Prayer Points

Pray for our Algerian Brothers and Sisters to find favor in the sight of government authorities (The Bible, Proverbs 8:35).

Pray for Christian radio programs to increase in the airwaves of Algeria to equip new Christian Believers with lessons on discipleship and obedience to God (The Bible, 1 John 3:1).  

Pray for the indigenous Algerian Church. Pray for their continuous growth despite the extreme persecution (The Bible, Hebrews 10:36).

A Call to Salvation

Let the Algerian diaspora receive Biblical instruction in their destination countries. Let them return to Algeria to take up leadership roles within the Church (The Bible, 2 Thessalonians 1:4).

Promise to the Nation

You have persevered and have endured hardships for My Name, and have not grown weary (The Bible, Revelation 2:3).

MORE ABOUT THIS COUNTRY

Algeria has been rising up the ranks in the Open Doors Persecuted Countries List in recent years. Violence against the Church is increasing rapidly. Church demolitions, arrests of pastors, and physical harm to Christian Believers are rampant. Algeria does not have any significant missionary organization. Yet, the Algerian Church is growing steadily. The majority of Christian Believers in Algeria are from a Muslim background. They choose to remain secret or try to leave the country. In 2024, Algeria’s rank for persecution is 15th.
