No one is expected to be a Christian in Somalia, so there is no organized church. Muslim converts exist as individual secret believers, and can only know a few others to make a small underground group. The largest known group is composed of five believers. For parents, it is dangerous to raise their children as Christians for fear of being discovered and executed. In September 2011, Islamic militants from al-Shabaab beheaded a 17-year-old Somali Christian near Mogadishu.
Pray:
- For an end to the chronic political instability of this war-torn country
- That God will be with Christians who face attacks from the extremist group al-Shabaab
- For freedom for believers to worship and grow in their faith.

amen & amen
My God, my Father, please help Christians in Somalia.
And I would like that the leaders in Somalia respect the Article 18 of the universal declaration for human rights.
In the name of your son Jesus.
Amen.
Dear Father, We ask You to protect those who love You and to give them courage, comfort and a very real realization of Your presnce. We pray You will change the persecutors hearts and that they will allow the believers to worship in freedom and that even they, themselves, will come to know You. We ask this in Jesus name Amen
Dearest sovereign God, your power, your love, your judgements cannot be suppressed. You reign supreme. Please God in your mercy and grace, pour out your presence in Somalia, to protect believers, to give them courage to persevere in faith, and to find creative ways to come together to worship you. Disarm the power of al Shabaab so that the good news of the Gospel can spread throughout that thirsty land. Praying in Jesus most holy name, amen.
Lord our helper, our refuge and our strength, I agree with Elisabeth, as I give praise to you our King. It is not because you are powerless to assist the Christians in Somalia that al Shabaab is successful in tormenting and killing your people. Father, if they knew you they would not do such horrible things. But Father, they need a revelation of the true God who wants all men to come to him in repentance and surrender. Father of Lights, please bring that revelation of yourself to the al Shabaab. Visit them like you did with Saul when he persecuted the church in the early days. Visit them, Father, in dreams and visions. Let them know that the Jesus they are persecuting is the Lord who wants to save them.
Lord, I know it looks like peace has been taken from the earth, but there are so many areas of the world where the gospel of the Kingdom of God and its peace have not been experienced. So Father, Soverign Lord of the Universe, do that which at the moment seems impossible. Disarm the power of al Shabaab so that the good news of the Gospel can spread throughout that thirsty land. Protect believers.
Give believers the courage to persevere in faith, and to find creative ways to come together to worship you.
This is the confidence that we have in approaching you, Almighty God, that if we ask anything according to your will, you hear us. And if you hear us, whatever we ask, we know that we receive it. In Yeshua’s name we pray. Thanks.
Amen
Peace, protection and blessings to Christian family in Christ. May our Lord and Saviour change the climate of tje coumtry and many be saved and come into fulfillment on Cjri
Fullfillment in Christ and relief from suffering for the Body of Christ in Somalia.May satanic strongholds be brought down and freedom in Christ reign.
Lord, thank You for the small number of believers that are in Somalia. Lord, I ask that You give them Your Comfort and Peace that surpasses all understanding. Lord, let them feel the love and prayers of their brothers and sisters in Christ from around the world. Lord, bless this small number of believers and let it multiply. Pour out Your Holy Spirit on the country of Somalia that there may be many more believers in the country. Lord, raise up leaders that would promote religious freedom and tolerance, instead of hate and persecution. I ask for Your will to be done in the country of Somalia. In Jesus’ Sweet and Precious Name, Amen!
Amen. May the Lord Grant this pray, in Yeshua’s name.

Glory to Your Name…amen
May God be glorified in this country through its suffering. May the Lord put a stop to the political unrest experienced here through His justice. May many more families have courage to become Christians being that God will not let them be tempted beyond what they can endure.
I come into agreement with the prayers of other believers.
Lord, the awareness of Your presence, Your peace, Your joy is every believer’s greatest blessing. Pour out an extra measure of Your Holy Spirit upon these your hurting children. Give them Your strength, Your power, Your Love to walk where flesh cannot go.
I am in agreement with your prayer! The prayer of the righteous availeth much!
Father, I pray for this politically unstable country that is war torn. Be with the Christians who face these attacks. I pray you cause great fear to come upon the extremist group al- Shabaab: that they will flee from attacking Your people. Father shut down these political groups that are self serving, filled with greed, hateful, murderers, both in Somalia around the world. Keep Somalia in the palm of your hand, fight with those Christians who face attacks, comfort them, protect them, provide for them! Blessed Be the Name Of Our Elohim. Show Them Your Glory and Power. In the name of Yeshua I pray
Holy Abba, may Your perfect will be shown at work in the hearts and bodies of our Somalian brothers and sisters and that their testimony of the True and Living God, Jesus the Christ, shine brighter than anything ever seen by their neighbors and community; that their persecutors’ eyes be opened and their hearts softened to see the love of God in their countrymen.
May Your Name be glorified in your children, oh God. You alone are worthy…
Our dear heavenly Father, We thank You for the many blessings you have bestowed upon us that trials, circumstances, and persecution can never take away. We thank You for our salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ. We thank You that Jesus has promised to never leave us nor forsake us.

We avail ourselves of this privilege and responsibility, and bring to You our Somali brothers and sisters that are suffering such persecution. Dear Lord, please strengthen, encourage, help and protect them. We pray that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in them. We pray that they may be comforted in all their tribulation …. and as the sufferings of Christ abound in them, so may their consolation also abound by Christ. We pray that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified … and that they may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for not all men have faith. Please establish them and keep them from evil. We pray that You will direct their hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ. We thank you for hearing and answering our prayers. We ask that Your will be accomplished in each individual life and situation. In Jesus’ name we ask. Amen.
Dearest Heavenly Father, we thank-You that You are Kind and that Your Kindness leads us to repentance. Your children are all over the world. Our hearts break for our precious brothers and sisters who suffer so greatly. I pray for the family of Guled Jama Muktar, that they will be safe, that You will protect, comfort and strengthen them. We ask that You help them find other believers to be encouraged by. Please appear to these Muslim extremists. Please show them how much You love them and how much they need You. We all need The Savior of the world,Jesus. We ask for an end to the political instability in Somalia. Please raise up strong, righteous leaders who will allow Christians to worship You freely. Please Dear Father, protect Your children there and put an end to el-shabaab. Thank-You for hearing us when we pray and thank-You that You answer. In the Name above all names, Jesus, amen.
Lord Jesus please protect your children in this country. I pray that the Holy Sprit will convince the enemies of sin, justice and judgement. I pray also that many will give their lives to you through this persecution of chrictians in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Father God, I come before you in the name of your son Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. I am in agreement through intercession with my brothers and sisters in Christ. Father, help my brothers and sisters in Christ who are suffering in Somalia. Help them through Oh God, carry them through. Give them strength and courage and hedge of protection. Father, let your light shine through and penetrates the darkness. Let your kingdom come, your will be done. Arise Oh Lord and let your enemy scatters and they shall melt like wax in your presence. Holy Spirit, come Lord, help your children, I asked in the mighty name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
Father God, I pray for your saints in Somalia that truly give their lives in exhange for their belief in you. I pray that their deaths will not be in vain but that muslims there, hearing of these atrocities, will be touched by the incredible faith and love of your believers. I pray that their hearts would be broken, that they see the sin in their lives and turn to Jesus Christ. Lord you are in control of this situation and we know that you hear the prayers and cries of your children. We pray that this family will take comfort in knowing that their son is in your arms today. Thank you Lord. In Jesus name, amen.

Dear Lord Jesus,
We place Somalia in your hands today. Please be with the family who lost their 17 year old son so tragically and then had to flee. Help them to stay strong in you Lord and know that their son now lives with you, no longer in fear. Be with other Christians in this country, helping them to stand strong in you and giving them courage in the face of such persecution. It is hard for us here in the US to even imagine this type of persecution but our prayers go out to you in love. Please deal strongly with the extremist groups that they may see their need for you in their lives. We are all in your hands Lord.
Amen
Father God, I thank you for taking care of the minority Christians in Somalia as I know you care for the poor, widows and orphans. Lord, they may be few but I praise you are faithful and true, compassionate towards the little ones who are overlooked and neglected by men who do not love you. Forgive us for not having the kind of encompassing love you demonstrate. Show and provide us the entrance into Somalia, so we can love my suffering brothers just as you do. Lord, less or us but more of you. Use us, Jesus reach the nations as your cleansed hands touch suffering ones and preach the power you have blessed us with for those ready receive your invitation. Father, in my life, you always turn up when least expected. In Jesus name, I ask your presence and fire surprise the enemy and his cronies, burning away the distractions that hinder Somalis come to you. Father, I ask of you in Jesus name, give my Somali brothers evident victories that they are restored, have Spirit filled lives by walking intimately with you Jesus. Bless the parents and little ones with your boldness and courage. Bless them with your favour and peace. Bless them with your safety and embracing love, Father.

Amen.
I join my heart and my faith in this prayer for our brothers & sisters in Christ and their families suffering in Somalia. In Jesus most powerful name. Amen & Amen! Ephesians 3:20
Lord, I join my voice this morning with the others who are crying out to You on behalf of Somalia. It is difficult to imagine living in a place where your very life is in danger just for believing something. But I know that You have a plan and a purpose for this nation and for each believer living in it. I want to pray today for their strength. I ask that You would encourage them today and give them supernatural peace even amidst great danger. I pray for the political situation in this country – that Your will would be done and that somehow those who love You would be able to influence the direction of this country so that it can fulfill the purpose that You have for it. I pray for those who are fearful for their lives because of their faith – especially MBBs. Protect them in Your name, Lord. Equip them with whatever they need to serve You and live for You and bring You glory in this land. I pray that You would bring about the downfall of al-Shabaab in the name of Jesus. Destroy this group that seeks to destroy your people. Bring down any leaders who are seeking to bring harm to Your name and Your people. And finally I pray that You would GROW and FLOURISH the believers who are in the country of Somalia – grow them, embolden them, strengthen them, help them to go out into their nation and spread and preach the gospel. Teach them how to be a witness for You, teach them the words to say and commission them to go where You desire them to go. Give them sound teaching and keep them away from false doctrine. Anoint them with power by Your Holy Spirit that will enable them to perform great acts and miracles in Your name to give credit to their testimony. Be glorified through these believers and through what You do in the nation of Somalia, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Amen & Amen to this prayer in the mighty name of our God and Saviour the LORD Jesus Christ!

I pray that they stay true to You even when faced with attacks from the extremist group. Father, I thank You for the family I have in You and I pray that it continues to grow, despite opposition.

Let them know they are not alone and that You will never leave their side or forsake them and their brothers & sisters around the world are praying for them.

Lord, we know that you commanded your people to go into all the world and preach the gospel. Father we standing on your word that you will never leave us nor forsake us. We are declaring your word that greater is he who is in YOU LORD than he who is in the world. We are taking the authority given to us through the blood of your dearly loved son to put the devil in his place, to free believers all over the world, to turn around governments in persecuted nations in favour of your people, to save the lives of the many men, women and children in these nations who brave it all to spread the gospel. Lord we believe in you when you say that we are more than conquerors. I declare today that persecuted Christians are overcomers by the blood of the Lamb. We are confident of a new work being done in all persecuted nations and we trust in YOU LORD to protect and guide and cover your anointed in JESUS NAME. AMEN!!!
Father God, in the name of our LORD Jesus Christ, I join the many prayers of my fellow believers in the LORD from all over the world on behalf of the suffering brethren and their families in Somalia. Let the BLOOD of Christ our LORD be a shield and hedge of protection (both physical & spiritual) upon these brethren and their families continually from day to day. Let your holy Angels be encamped round about them, their homes and belongings to keep, preserve and be a divine protection upon your people as promised in your Precious Pure Words in
Psalm 34:6-8
King James Version (KJV)
6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
8 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
and
Psalm 91:11
King James Version (KJV)
11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
We cry out to You our God on behalf of these our brethren in Somalia, hear us and save them from their troubles. Open the physical naked eyes of the wicked al-Shabaab when they come against your people and let them see your Angels with drawn swords keeping watch and guard over your people. As they behold your angelic forces, let them be confused and bewildered & cry out to You for salvation and let them know the One who is the Saviour of the world our LORD Jesus Christ. Let the Somali believers in Jesus Christ daily experience by seeing & tasting for themselves the LORD’s goodness in the midst of their trials and afflictions and physical persecutions in a very special and powerful way. Fill their hearts and minds with the knowledge that they are blessed inspite of their circumstances for they TRUST IN THE LORD. All for the praise and honor and glory alone of our God and Saviour the LORD Jesus Christ. in whose name I pray, Amen & Amen! Hallelujah!
