在激进伊斯兰武装分子活跃的利比亚部份地区,基督徒面临的风险最大,其危险程度导致许多外国基督徒根本避免到全国各地旅行。归主信徒也容易受到社区和家庭的影响。最后,试图到达欧洲而被捕和拘留的移民基督徒,可能面临致命的压力,他们可能被绑架,被迫从事重体力劳动,甚至被迫从事性工作。
利比亚仍然是世界上对基督徒最危险的地方之一。今年,针对信徒的暴力事件增加。很明显,利比亚没有一处地方对基督徒来说是安全的;对耶稣的效忠,足以导致压力和暴力。

Lord Jesus, we pray for our family in Libya who follow You at such great risk to their lives and livelihoods. Please show these secret believers that You're walking with them. We pray for peace in Libya, specifically that the tension between factions will not escalate into war and further endanger believers. We ask You to protect Christian migrant workers from extremist groups. Please open doors for converts to find life-giving community and grow in their faith, despite the challenges they face. In Your name we pray, Amen.
