Tripoli, Libya

Tripoli, Libya’s capital city, is a large metropolitan area on the Mediterranean Sea just south of Sicily and north of the Sahara Desert. The country was under foreign rule intermittently for over 2,000 years prior to its independence in 1951. Due to its arid climate, Libya was almost completely dependent on foreign aid and imports for the stability of its economy—until petroleum was discovered in the late 1950s. Since the rise and fall of the socialist state under Muammar Gaddafi’s leadership, the nation has been struggling to end the residual conflict and build state institutions. Of the existing church presence, many Jesus-followers are severely persecuted or killed and remain in hiding. Despite such affliction, an unrivaled opportunity in Libya’s history presents itself in this hour for the church to stand in courage and claim the nation for Jesus.

1. Pray for thousands of Christ-exalting, multiplying house churches in the 27 languages spoken in this city.
2. Pray for a mighty movement of prayer to sweep over the house churches.
3. Pray for Tripoli to be a sending place, impacting the entire nation and the region with the delivering power of Jesus.
4. Pray for the Kingdom of God to destroy the works of the devil.
