PRAYING FOR THE PERSECUTED CHURCH
Overview:
Western Sahara is a disputed territory and former Spanish colony located along northwest Africa’s Atlantic coast south of Morocco. Spain relinquished control of Western Sahara in 1975, and Morocco has governed most of the territory since 1976. About 20 percent of Western Sahara, along its eastern and southern border, is controlled by a politico-military organization of the Sahrawi people called the Polisario Front. The Moroccan Army and Polisario Front battled for control of the territory until a ceasefire was brokered in 1991. Today the area is divided by a 1,700-mile-long, heavily mined sand-berm border constructed and patrolled by Moroccan military forces.
Major Religion:
Western Sahara is more than 99.9 percent Muslim, making it one of the most religiously homogenous places in the world.
Persecutor:
The government is the main persecutor. Family, friends and communities also persecute Christian converts.
What It Means To Follow Christ In Western Sahara:
Unlike the relatively open tourist destinations found in parts of the Kingdom of Morocco, Western Sahara is restricted and closely monitored by Moroccan government authorities. Christians are under tight scrutiny, and Bible distributions and missionary activities are forbidden. The small number of indigenous Christians living in Western Sahara are at ongoing risk of imprisonment for apostasy and proselytization. While two Catholic churches remain from the period of Spanish control, no other churches are known to exist in either the Moroccan or Polisario Front sections of Western Sahara.
Access To Bibles:
About 565,000 people live in Western Sahara, but few printed Bibles exist in the country. It is difficult to get a Bible there, but believers can access God’s Word through creative methods such as digital files on SD cards, which they can use on their mobile phones and tablets.
Voice Of the Martyrs Work:
VOM supports various forms of outreach in Western Sahara.
Prayer Requests:
- Pray for greater access to God’s Word in this restricted nation.
- Pray that Christians can gather for fellowship without government detection.
- Pray that gospel outreach in Western Sahara will bear much spiritual fruit.
- Pray that Christians in Western Sahara will find creative ways to share their faith.
