Islam is the state religion and source of legislation. The few hundred Christians from a Muslim background meet secretly as they face persecution from authorities, family and extremist Islamic groups. In the north, no church buildings are allowed. There is some religious freedom for foreigners, but evangelism is prohibited. There are four official churches in Aden for the several thousands of Christian expats and refugees living in the country, but large numbers have left as a result of the Arab Spring riots.
Pray:
- Thank God that Christians, despite their political differences, have maintained unity in Christ
- For four foreign Christians kidnapped in 2009 who remain missing
- Presidential elections are due in February 2012. Pray for peace and stability for this deeply divided country.

I pray that You would strengthen them in their inner man, to stand strong and do mighty exploits in the name of Jesus.
Dear Jesus,
Only You know the true hearts of the people of Yemen. Bless them with hearts turned towards You and Your will for their people and their land. Be with those who are missing, giving them strength in the difficulties and courage to face life or death in Jesus name. Bless our brothers and sisters in Christ! Amen!
My God, my Father, please, in the name of Jesus Christ, help the Christians in Yemen and do
something for the respect everywhere of the Article 18 of the universal declaration for human rights.
Our Father,
I join with your people in looking to you for you to strengthen your people and to continue to grant them unity in our Savior, Jesus Christ. Help them to love you with all their heart, soul, mind and strength and to love those they come in contact with the love that you pour into their hearts.
Turn the hearts of leaders to yourself and I ask that out of this leadership, you would give modern day Pauls to this country and region. Guide the elections and place men of your choice in the positions of leadership.
Have mercy on the four missing foreign Christians and grant them release and freedom.
In our Savior’s name, Jesus, I make these requests.
Amen.
Loving Father in heaven, as you opened the eyes of the persecutor Saul of Tarsus, so be pleased to open the eyes of would-be persecutors of your people in Yemen. May those who oppose come to know what they are doing, repent, and become messengers of your great salvation to others who wait to know and hear the good news of Jesus death and resurrection for them. Please hear our prayer and act mightily for your glory, and for the eternal salvation of those millions in Yemen who need deliverance from misinformation about who Jesus really is and what He has done for their salvation. Thank you for hearing our prayers!
Gracious Father in Heaven, may the believers in Yemen find safety and may they yet be able to meet for fellowship and for worship. Please give them creative ideas of how to do this safely, when, where and even under what they might present as the reason for their gathering. May they have the means to grow in grace and in the knowledge of God. Please bless and protect those who are serving them and taking Bibles to them. Thank You Gracious Lord for all You do for us. Help us always to remember our brothers and sisters who may be struggling in difficult circumstances. Thank You Gracious Heavenly Father. In Jesus’ Good and Lovely Name. Amen.
Dear Lord Jesus,
Please touch the Christians in Yemen. Help them to stand strong in faith of you Jesus. For no matter the persecution, the reward of eternity with you will be worth it all. Touch the hearts of muslims as they see the examples of Christianity in these, your people Lord, that they may begin to feel the need for you as well. We just put our hearts and hope in you Lord and thank you for the goodness you have given each of us.
In Jesus’ Name,
Amen
Our Heavenly Father,
I come to you, asking the Kingdom, Your Kingdom, the Kingdom of Jesus Christ Our
Lord and Savior, to continue to rain down upon the kingdom of Yeman. You promise
in your Word, that kingdoms of this world will come to and end, that the Jesus, Our Lord
and Savior will crush Satan, that his time is coming to an end, that the last shall be first;
as these religious muslims begin to question their religion, that they find the one true
God that we have found, that has been so freely given to us in America. May the Bible
be made readily available in Yeman; as well as the preaching and teaching of God’s Word,
that the whereabouts of the missing Christians be revealed now. I thank you for You
will do it. Faith is the victory that overcomes the world.
Amen
Thank you for the opportunity to come to your throne of grace to pray for the people of Yemen. I prAy that those who were kidnapped be found and that while in enemy territory, they might be able to pr each the Gospel so that those around them might come to the knowledge and understanding of salvation. may they be found and soon. I also pray for the coming election. May those who get elected be liberal as to let the Gospel be preached in their country freely. I p ray that the Christians in Yemen stand strong midst persecution looking forward to your coming. In Jesus’ mitt names, amen!
I pray that our brothers and sisters-in-Christ in Yemen will put their trust in You, Lord, just as Your Word says it “It us better to take refuge in the LORD that to trust in man.” and that “The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.” May all Christians know that Your Word is infallible and trustworthy. In the powerful name of the LORD JESUS CHRIST.
Lord, you have used persecution in tremendous ways through history to grow and strengthen Your church and Your kingdom. I pray that You would do the same through the nation of Yemen – using the persecution that is currently taking place to somehow glorify Your name. Please also comfort and give strength and grace to those that You have chosen to suffer in Your name – please give them that strength and grace that You promised to give in Your Word. As much as I want to ask You to take away the suffering, I know that You may have a purpose in it that is greater than we can see – and if that is the case, then I simply pray for Your will to be done and for You to glorify Yourself in the situation and in each life.
I pray specifically for the four Christians who were kidnapped in 2009 – and I ask that You would please bring light to what is hidden in darkness. If they are alive, Lord, please rescue them and reveal their location. Restore them to their families so that they can glorify You in the testimony of how they were found. Comfort, strengthen and protect the families of those missing as only You can – with Your peace and comfort that are beyond our ability to imagine.
I pray also for the upcoming elections – I pray that YOU would be in complete control of the results, and that You would sovereignly choose the next leader of Yemen. I pray that You would turn the heart of the king, and of the people, so that Your plans for Yemen would go forth and Your leader would rule. I pray for a peaceful process from beginning to end, and that You would continue to lead and guide and direct those who do know You in this nation. I pray Your protection over those meeting secretly and that You would use them in mighty ways in this nation to spread Your gospel and bring more glory to Your name.
Bless the Yemeni people, especially those who are believers with a Mslm background. Please be their family, be their financial support, be their strength, their healer, their provider, their comfort. They have given up everything to follow You. Please keep them until they are able to receive their true reward from You when they see You face to face.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
Father, I ask in Jesus name your governance and government comes to Yemen. Your visible miracles and wonders accompanies my brothers across the land in Jesus name! Lord, send your warring angels win spiritual battles, so that Yemenis hearts will call upon the Lord and be saved! I ask your freedom be exercised and fully enjoyed across this land, with wisdom and understanding be for your faithfuls who seek your face. Thank you Lord the coming Yemen elections is the most evident display of your glory and splendour be displayed in the results, with no man able to overthrow the final outcome. Help Yemenis accept your will in peace and hope of better life to come, tearing away from past regimental rulings and witness your beautiful things to come. Thank you my Love! You are indeed the one who holds unity for my brothers abiding in your love. Increase your righteous children with supernatural faith, I ask in Jesus name across this land watered and cleansed with your holy love. Amen.
Dear Father:
Since we know that you asked us to pray together in Jesus Name, I come to you today to join my prayer to the ones of many others and ask you to do your will in Yemen, to protect my brothers and sisters there and give them the security of your Love and Presence. I pray that Jesus’ presence would be more real than anything else and that they accomplish your plans for their generation and country.
In Jesus name!
Lord, it is sometimes hard for me to imagine exactly what these people are going through. I have been blessed to live in a country that celebrates religious freedom. Lord, I ask that You would give our brothers and sisters in Christ in Yemen Your peace that surpasses all understanding. Let them feel the love and prayers of their brothers and sisters in Christ and know that they are on our hearts. I ask for an outpouring of Your Holy Spirit on this country, that more and more people come to know You. I ask for You to raise up leaders that will promote freedom of religion in the country of Yemen. Continue to bless the Christians in Yemen for their ability to have unity in You. May it be an example to the Christians in our country who are constantly at each other’s throats instead of being unified as the body of Christ. Lord, I pray that the truth about what has happened to the missing Christians be made known so that the families may be reunited or at least have closure to the situation. Lord, I ask that Your hand guide the elections about to take place in the country. We know that you are sovereign and that none is appointed that You don’t already know about. Continue to protect the Christians in their meeting places, and help those that face persecution to endure and keep their eyes on You! In Jesus’s Holy Name, Amen!
Father… thank you that the Yemeni people have persevered and have endured hardships for your Son’s name. They are an example and inspiration to me to show me what a true Christian is. Father God, I pray for the four foreign Christians kidnapped in 2009 who remain missing that if they are still alive, that you would give them strength to endure and shine and make the enemies wonder what is it that makes them rejoice. I pray for the Presidential elections this month that there will be true peace and stability for this deeply divided country. A true peace that can only be found in Christ our savior. We love you Lord and ask this with Matthew 7:7 in mind, were you tell us to ask and we will receive. Please let it be in your Son’s name….amen.
Lord I lift up each and every brother and sister in Yemen. I pray for their protection. I pray that those who are suffering there today for you would have all their needs met by you. Both physical and spiritual needs Father.
I pray that through them you would be a light to draw even more souls out of darkness and into your saving grace.
Anoint them Lord with your power to save.
Father in heaven I lift up our Brothers/Sisters and their families. The enemy has sought to divide and conquer your Saints in this country. In so far as enslaving whole families and killing those who stood in their way. I would pray for these kidnappers and murderers that our Lord would speak to their hearts and minds. That your spirit my God would speak to their hearts that they would ask to know more about our God and Savior and Lord Jesus Christ. I pray for this country and many others surrounding it for evil spirit seeks to establish it’s dominance……..For it is written in God’s word–No weapon that is formed against us shall prosper and it was also written in God’s word- and upon this rock I will build my church: and the gates of hell will not overpower it. –In Jesus name-Amen.
Our Father in Heaven, we ask you in the name of Your Son Jesus
Christ and my Savior by the power of the Holy Spirit to send down your comfort, peace and love on these persecuted Christians in Yemen. I ask you also to do what is needed to get the leaders of Yemen to improve the lives of these, Your people. I pray that the economy will improve to the point that everyone who wants a job with a living wage will be able to find one. I ask that your Holy Spirit be spread throughout this land and all will come to know you as Savior and Lord of their lives. Amen.
Sovereign Lord,
I thank You for the lives of my brothers in Yemen, cause by Your grace and mercy, and through the precious love of Lord Jesus Christ, their lives are a miracle made by You.I ask You to fill their hearts with Your great and precious love, peace, courage, hope, unshakeable faith in Jesus Christ alone, and wisdom to share the gospel with others by the power of Your Holy Spirit.
i ask You In The Name of Lord Jesus Christ, King Forever, Amen
Oh Lord i couldnt sleep tonight and so i checked to see if the wwl was updated and it was. So i pray for the country of Yemen Lord, I pray that Your glory would spread through this part of the world and that somehow, like in the Bible days that more people would come to know You in spite of persecution and that they would tell their families and that persecution would die. But Lord, if You choose not to take it away, then please give our Yemen brothers and sisters strength to stand and be faithful to the end. I thank You Lord for the work You are already doing in this country. I pray for the coming elections, that You would lead and direct and have Your way in that. I pray Lord for the children in this country that somehow Lord, that You would raise them up for Your glory. Oh God be with them. I pray for the missing people Lord, You know where they are.

I’ll praise You in advance. Oh please God hear us, we need You to do Your awesome work Lord. But nevertheless, only as You will. It’s in Jesus’ most Holy Beautiful Name we ask it, amen.

My prayer also goes out to those who were kidnapped in 2009 for You have promised never to leave our side or forsake us even during our darkest times. In JESUS name we pray, Amen.
Lord, may your light be shed in Yemen. May Christ be glorified there through your children that suffer persecution. Christ bring your peace to the country and the region. Lord, be merciful to the Muslim world and wake them to your truth. Comfort your church in Yemen, Jesus. Amen.
WHEN THE CRIES OF YOUR FAITHFUL BELIEVERS ARE HEARD
Words by Mary Rose Jensen
When the cries of Your faithful believers are heard,
When a prison cell holds those who trust in Your Word,
When prayer is illegal and beatings ensue,
God, defend and protect those who suffer for You.
When a meeting for worship is cause for alarm
In the minds of officials whose purpose is harm,
We pray for those people who hate us and You.
God, enlighten their hearts so they seek what is true.
Where Your Word is forbidden send hope and good news.
Where Your church is unwelcome give joy found in You.
Encourage Your people that Christ never fails.
God, give strength to Your kingdom for it will prevail.

Dear God I pray for Yemen, its government and its people. Turn the hearts of the leaders to You, Lord, and make them receptive to Christ Jesus and His followers. Translate them from the kingdom in darkness to the kingdom of Your marvelous light! I pray for the knowledge to be revealed and closure for the families of those kidnapped 3 years ago if they have died. If they are imprisoned, set them free very soon, I pray, Lord, so they can go back to their country(ies) of origin and are enabled to spread awareness of persecuted Christians in this country and other Muslim-dominated areas. Come and rule, Prince of Peace! From the heavenlies, where we are seated with Christ Jesus, we send down the glory of God onto Yemen. All of His enemies are under His and our feet! Hallelujah! AMEN.
