Sierra Leone
Monitored
Back to List

Overview:

Persecution is associated with tribal violence and the rise of radical Islam. Despite identifying publicly with a particular religion, an estimated 90 percent of Sierra Leoneans are aligned with secret societies that dominate all aspects of life in the country. These societies practice demonic rituals that include bodily mutilation of society members. Those who leave secret societies when they place their faith in Christ are persecuted and even risk being killed.

Prayer Requests:

  • Pray that demonic secret societies will be exposed as powerless against the truth of Christ.
  • Pray for Miracle and Georgieta, whose families have threatened to kill them for rejecting demon worship.
  • Pray for Brima and Osman, whose lives were changed when they left demon worship and human sacrifice to follow Christ.
  • Pray for the encouragement of Christians whose church building was destroyed by local Muslim officials.
  • Pray that Christians will be faithful witnesses, shining the light of Christ in areas darkened by demon worship.
