Every citizen has to be Muslim on these remote islands. The Maldivian government views itself as the protector and defender of Islam and enjoys full support by its citizens. Churches are forbidden, evangelism is banned and the import of Christian literature is prohibited. Believers hide their faith from their families and, when discovered, are pressured to convert to Islam. In October, a foreign Christian teacher was imprisoned for 15 days and then deported after police found a Bible in his house.
Pray:
- For the few indigenous Christians to have courage amidst the secrecy
- Many young people seek education outside the islands. Pray that they would have the opportunity to hear the gospel
- Maldivian society contends with huge social problems of drug and alcohol abuse, marriage breakdown and child abuse. Pray that people will discover God’s forgiveness.

We thank You, Father, for the opportunity to come to Your Throne this morning for the people of Maldives. As Your Word commands, we come to You with boldness and confidence that our prayers will be answered. Thank You for protecting a small number of believers in Maldives; we know what You can grown from just one seed. We pray the believers will remain strong in their faith and that the Spirit comforts and encourages them. We pray for the persecutors; that they will come to know Your Son and accept Him as their personal Savior. We pray for the government, the ousted president, and the new leadership, that they will turn from their path and that they and all the lost in their country will come to the Lord. We pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.
Amen. may the persecutors become Christ’s witnesses. may God reveal himself to Maldives for the glory of his name.
Lord, I come to You this morning on behalf of the country of the Maldives. I pray firstly today just as Abraham interceded for the people of Sodom – that You would spare this nation because of the few godly people that live in it. There are few Christians in this land, but Your people still live there – and I ask that You would move on their behalf and for their sake, and bless them and this land that belongs to You.
I pray first for each and every Christian who lives in the Maldives. I pray for your supernatural wisdom, boldness and strength for each one. You may desire that some of them serve You in prison, and others serve You in their own homes. Protect those who You desire to stay outside of prison so that Your plans cannot be hindered. For those You have chosen to suffer for You in prison, please grant them Your peace and strength today. When they question, reassure them with Your great love. Touch their hearts by Your Spirit today. Encourage their families that are separated from them. Give them wisdom in who to speak to and who not to speak to. Direct their steps and keep them safe.
I also pray for those who are given the opportunity to leave the Maldives for education purposes or for any reason. I pray that they would be given the opportunity to hear Your truth and Your gospel outside of their land in a safe way – and that they could then take it back inside the land and become one of the believers I just prayed for. I pray that You would create opportunities for each Maldivian to hear the preaching of Your Word if they are able to go outside the country, and that You would give them the faith they need to be able to respond.
Finally, I pray for the country itself and all of the people who live in it regardless of their religious background. There are so many societal problems and abuses there – this country needs a touch from You. Please go to them and work in each life – draw each heart to You in some way – so that they will realize that they don’t need the drugs or alcohol and that they don’t need to harm another person. I know that none of these things are possible without people knowing You – but I ask that You would have mercy on the people who are bound by these destructive ways.
Please create opportunities for Mslms to come to know You in this country, through whoever and by whatever means necessary. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Lord, I come and give You thanks for the small population of believers in Maldives. I pray that an outpouring of Your Holy Spirit will come upon that country and that more will realize You as Lord and Savior. Please strengthen these believers to be bold and steadfast in their faith despite the persecution that presses in all around them. Lord, let these believers feel the love and prayers on behalf of them from their brothers and sisters in Christ around the world. Lord, I ask that You bless and multiply the few materials that are available in this country that everyone who wants access to Your Word has it. Lord, I pray for the young people who leave the country for education to be educated about You, to share You with others, and to use their knowledge of You to return and change their home country for the better. Lord, I pray for the social unrest of this country. Let Your love be a light to this country that they might seek Your forgiveness and improve their family situations. Lord, salvation of souls is Your will. Let Your will be done in Maldives. In Jesus’s Precious and Sweet Name, Amen!
Amen!
Thank you for the prayer. I have made it mine as well for these people.
Dear Lord, You are the God of the impossible, and You alone can do all things. Please, pour out Your Spirit on the nation of the Maldives. Change hearts, Lord. Reveal Yourself to the unsaved in this nation, as You are able to do in Your amazing and miraculous ways. Lord, give the people of the Maldives a discontentment with their culture and with Islam, and give them a desire to know the one true God–You. Father, comfort, encourage, and strengthen Your believers there, and as Your saints pray for them, help them to feel and experience a renewed strengthening and deepening of their faith in You. Deluge the Maldives with Your Word, despite the laws and restrictions and threats that exist. Let all believers have a copy of the Bible, and get Your Word into the hands of those who are truly seeking You. Sustain Your people there in the Maldives, dear Lord, and bring in a great harvest of new believers. In the precious name of Christ Jesus our Lord, amen.
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for the Christians in Maldives who suffer poverty, persecution, child abuse.
Heal the wounded hearts; for You are Our Healer who heals all our diseases. You are
our provider, please provide for the needs of the Maldivian Christians; through You we
can overcome the persecution. Help these Christians to stand strong in You; give them
the inner strength from You that they need.
Come quickly, Lord Jesus.
Yes and amen, dear Father! I agree with my brothers and sisters. May Your light shine brightly in the Maldives. Please give Your children courage in the face of persecution. Lead those who seek education outside of their country to seek the Truth through Your Word. Send Christians to share the Gospel with them. May their hearts be prepared to receive Your amazing Love and forgiveness. Please work in the lives of those who are bound by addictions and cruelty. Give them dreams and visions, dear Lord and send Your children to minister to them. Be Glorified, Lord Jesus in the Maldives, in Your Church and in all the world! In Your Good and Holy name, Jesus, amen.
Dear Jesus, I pray for the people of Maldives to be given ears to hear and a heart to accept the truth of salvation through you alone. I pray that you will protect those Christians who are struggling to stay safe in this country. Lord, may you shine your light on this country as you did for Ninevah. Open the eyes of those who are perishing in darkness. Bless those who are trying to reach others for your kingdom. May you be glorified by those whom you send to this field. Your power is greater than the gates of hell that is filled this country with lies. In your mercy, dear Jesus, open their eyes to the truth. Amen
Dear Lord, I pray for all the Christians in Maldives that are believing secretly in You and that are being persecuted. I pray for renewed strength as they get up each day so that they may strive to spread Your Name, even in the dangerous situations. I pray for the young people that leave the islands for education, that they may hear Your Name and Your Word and come to know You as the Savior and Lord. Lord, I pray for the people of Maldives as a whole that revival happens in their lives and come to know You. Lord, forgive the persecutors of their sins and give the persecuted the hearts of forgiveness to forgive as well.
Dear Lord Jesus, set these people free; let the Gospel be heard in creative ways as You did through Paul in what our human eyes would call impossible circumstances. You can make a way where there is no way and I ask You, in Your precious name, Jesus, to make a way for the Gospel to go forth and Bible materials for discipleship to enter this land; that many children may come to know the truth of who You are and receive (relationship) You as Lord and Savior. Thank you Lord, You never sleep; You know every piece of land and its people on all the earth. Lord, thank you that You never leave nor forsake Your children, if even there was only one. Strengthen believers, Lord, to do Your will in each situation in their lives and use them so Your glory and wisdom is shown to these people in the Maldive Islands and in their communities as a whole. Open doors for Your light to shine on the Gov. and the President, Mohamed Nasheed; I pray for him, now.Thank you Lord, that you hear our prayers when we pray; Lord, You are the only one who can rescue people from situations and affairs of the darkness of the world.Let Your Holy Spirit invade this community, broken with drug and alcohol abuse, child abuse, disorderly marriages and family. Let Your light shine in this darkness, by Your saving grace. They need rescuing and healing and You are the only One who can do this. i believe You can and thank you in advance- let Your kingdom come Your will be done, in the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
Dear Lord Jesus, Sometimes I feel so helpless in praying for these countries that are so far away and I can’t even picture their faces, but you can. You know them all by name. Please help your children in this small country to be released from their isolation and thereby imprisoned in their own way. Please let your gospel trickle little by little until there is a stream
ready of new believers who are ready to stand strong and count the cost of their new found freedom in Christ. I praise you Jesus for the few and chosen!
Dear Lord Jesus, I come to you in prayer for the people of Maldives. Lord, we know that when people do not have you in their hearts, that they will face all kinds of problems such as drug and alcohol abuse, child abuse, marital problems. Touch the people of this country that they may see their need for you. Be with the young people of this island as they seek education in other places to have the opportunities to hear the gospel and respond to your calling. May they take Your Word back to the islands to help their families find You. Keep safe those who love you. We know that you are in control and all things work to Your good, even when we don’t understand it. We thank you for your wisdom and strength. In Jesus Name, Amen
Lord, I just want to pray that you protect my family in this country, my brothers and sisters there, so that they can be a light among the darkness. Lord I pray that you can free people there to come to you and I pray that your presence may be more clear for all the believers than any problems or persecution. In Jesus name,
Father we agree together for the people of Maldives. First for those who know and follow you;
second for you to draw those who do not know you, that they come to the light of the world: Master Yeshua. We pray together for peace in this small country.

Provide safety and encouragement for those who give testimony to You. I ask all this in Jesus precious name. Amen
Lord, You said that if we pray you will give us the heathen for an inheritance. With the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ in us, I stand in your power and might and strength and declare today that Christians will be persecuted no more. I decree today that because we are children of God and the earth is yours and the fulness thereof, then we have the authority to preach your Word in all the corners of the earth. I command Michael, Gabriel and all the hosts of heaven to war in the spirit for the persecuted Christians in the Maldives and all the nations where they are being imprisoned, beaten and killed. We will no longer be afraid, we will no longer run away, but we will pray and stand still till we see the hands of the Lord move in our favor. Thank You for hearing and answering all the prayers of your people in JESUS NAME.
Pray for religious and public freedom for all!

Father God, you are the perfect communicator of love as the entire universe resound praises to you daily.

Lord, I ask your presence and holy angels guard my brothers during this silent period of persecution. I pray they will hear you, continue believe in you, pray for their leaders and one day, in your timing, they enjoy physical freedom proclaim the gospel in unity, with your Voice. Speak Holy Spirit to my brothers enjoy their assurance of salvation, greater intimacy with you Jesus. Lord, I ask in Jesus name, bondages of torment in their souls be destroyed by your awesome power. You have shown us forgiveness and Lord, I ask in your Son’s name, Maldivians be given the gift to receive your forgiveness and forgive others, so they can know the way to sin no more. Amen.

Dear God, I pray for Your heavenly justice to be executed in these Maldive islands. May Your Kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Hear the cries of the oppressed, particularly the children. Let them know Who to cry out to and Who is their strong deliverer and protector. Let the hearts of fathers and mothers turn in true love to their children and to their Creator God. Forgive the oppressive government agents, and the rulers for their grave sins as they have never known another way. I ask for visitations of Yeshua to come in dreams and visions and in whatever other ways You want to work, Lord. May wave after wave of righteousness roll over these small, but precious in Your sight, islands. May they experience the beauty of the Lord. In Jesus’ Mighty Name, AMEN!
