Brunei

Praise points

Praise God for the few brave Christian Kingdom Workers still engaged in the Great Commission in Brunei (The Bible, Mark 10:29).

Praise God for the underground Church in Brunei that adds numbers despite the persecution (The Bible, Psalm 37:39).

Prayer Points

Pray for the transformation of the hate against Christians in Brunei to a journey to find Jesus Christ (The Bible, Psalm 43:2).

Pray for members of the Brunei royal family to have dreams and visions of Jesus Christ. Pray for the royals to turn towards the TRUTH in Jesus Christ and Salvation (The Bible, Acts 2:17).

Pray for God’s Comfort upon His Children who experience hate and discrimination. Pray for our beloved Brothers and Sisters in Christ in Brunei that they may be strengthened in their faith and stand their spiritual ground in the face of persecution (The Bible, Isaiah 40:31).

A Call to Salvation

Let the strongholds of hate be demolished in the Name of Jesus Christ. Let the strongmen of these strongholds be banished from Brunei in the Mighty Name of our Lord Jesus (The Bible, 2 Corinthians 10:4).

Promise to the Nation

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms (The Bible, Ephesians 6:12).

Brunei is grooming a season of hate against Christian symbols and, in particular, the Word of God. Holding a Bible in a public space can cause quite a stir. The behavior is common in both young people and older generations. While Christians in Brunei can practice their faith, they cannot in public. It has to be out of the view of Muslims. They practice a conservative form of Islam without a radical element to it. Sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ is illegal. Purchasing Bibles is only possible for personal use. Evangelical churches must register as businesses and report income to the government regularly. Discrimination against Christians is widespread in Brunei. New Christian Believers, especially from the Muslim community, face the maximum persecution. Open Doors Persecuted Nations List ranks Brunei at 44th.
