Oman

PRAYER FOR THIS COUNTRY

Bless Oman, in the mighty Name of Jesus, for discussing a comprehensive economic partnership agreement with India, as the countries are on track to sign.

Bless the Omani King and the Omanis to understand that Jesus Christ has died for them on the Cross and can save them from their sins.

Bless the Omanis to believe in Jesus Christ, the true living God who can free them from fear of evil spirits and curses.

Pray that Churches and Christian Believers in Oman will lead others to believe the Gospel and accept Jesus Christ (The Bible, Acts 16:14).

MORE ABOUT THIS COUNTRY

Oman is not a regular on the Open Doors Persecution Index. However, the oil-rich country ranks at forty-seven this year. There is an increase in the monitoring of Christians in the country and scrutiny of meetings by Christian organizations. Even expats who convert from Islam to Christianity face persecution and discrimination in Oman. Only expats who enter the country as Christians do not face significant persecution. The unreached population is more than 75%. Evangelism is illegal. Hence, the only outreach programs available are through the radio or social media platforms. Ten thousand Omanis travel to pursue their higher education abroad. Preferred study destinations include the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, and New Zealand. They present an opportunity for sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
