Kuwait

Praise Points

Praise God for activists who voice out against the atrocities committed against women in Kuwait. Pray for more voices within the government to start making noise on women’s rights.

Praise God for the opportunity for Kingdom Workers to work for the harvest in this country.

Prayer Points

Pray against the indiscriminate arrests of social activists in Kuwait. Pray for the release of all such activists in the country (The Bible, Matthew 5:6).

Pray against the primitive mentality of lawmakers towards Kuwaiti women. Pray for a reformation of laws around violence against women in this country (The Bible, Psalm 90:12).

Pray for God’s Hand to move in favor of the Bidun people in Kuwait and for the government to offer them citizenship (The Bible, Psalm 146:9).

A Call to Salvation

Let Jesus appear to the Kuwaiti Royal family in dreams and visions. Let them come into the saving grace of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ (The Bible, Psalm 89:19).

Promise for the Nation

For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life (The Bible, John 3:16).

Kuwait is steadily falling backward in terms of women’s rights. Their failure to allow women equal rights and heavily discriminate against them to extreme levels is quite alarming. The Kuwaiti government punishes honor killings only with fines or superficial jail sentences. In addition, sexual abusers will face no punishment if they marry the victim with the permission of a guardian. While this is unthinkable in the West, such is the political climate in this country. Moreover, the addition of laws aimed at silencing whistle-blowers on social media came into effect this year.
