PRAYER REQUESTS FOR
February 13, 2026
Please pray for...
​
…perseverance of faith and witness of secret believers in Mauritania. Pray for protection for women and girls amid child marriage, violence, and abuse. Pray for Mauritanian leaders to experience the saving grace of Jesus.
​
…the Church to help Turkish nationals find their identity in Jesus alone. Pray for tourists and refugees to boldly share the Good News of Jesus while in Türkiye. Pray for leaders and their families to be transformed by the love of Jesus.
​
…Muslims who will be fasting during Ramadan—February 18–March 19. Pray that, during this month of spiritual focus, Muslims would realize that they cannot know God or save themselves through rituals but only by accepting Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross.
PRAY FOR AFGHANISTAN
On January 4, Afghanistan’s Taliban government introduced a new Criminal Courts Code of Conduct, to be applied throughout the nation. This document establishes a hierarchy within the society—religious leaders, the elite, the middle class, and the lower class—and adjusts punishments according to the accused person’s status. Religious leaders may simply be warned, while a lower class-person may face harsh punishment for the same infraction. Crimes are vaguely defined, confessions may be forced, and those who are not “true Muslims,” that is, those who adhere to a sect or religion other than the approved Sunni school, face imprisonment and possibly execution. Let’s pray.
​
-
Pray for God’s protection over the few secret believers in the country. This Code heightens the danger to them—and indeed to anyone deemed a criminal. “Under this code, neighbors become informants,” says a lawyer. “You can no longer trust anyone. This is how the Taliban want to rule, through fear and betrayal.”
​
-
Pray for women, already severely oppressed. This Code places still more restrictions on their freedom of movement and social interaction. It allows husbands to beat their wives, punishing them only with a 15-day prison sentence if a beating results in a serious injury.
​
-
Pray that the Holy Spirit would work in the hearts of Taliban authorities. Pray that Jesus would reveal himself to them in supernatural ways and lead them to the God who loves and values every person.

PRAY FOR SYRIA
​
​The 2025 World Watch List ranked the nation of Syria as the 18th most dangerous country for Christians. In the ranking for 2026, Syria rose to number 6. During Syria’s civil war (2011–2024), most of the 1.5 million Syrians who claimed Christianity fled. By the time that regime fell, on December 8, 2024, some 300,000 remained. The new government, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HST), moved quickly to assure bishops of churches and other minorities that their rights would be respected, and many Christian Syrians abroad expressed the hope of returning home. However, as the HST functions as the transitional government, Christians have found themselves targeted or caught in the crossfire as certain minority sects are attacked, and a power vacuum in many areas has given the Islamic State an opportunity to regroup.
​
-
Pray that the Lord would encourage and protect His people. Christian children face more verbal abuse at school, clergy face open disrespect, and Christian businesses have lost clientele.
-
Pray that more disillusioned people would seek Jesus. One pastor notes, “After all the violence in the country, some non-Christians are now more open to hear about Christianity, because they see that Christianity brings peace, and we hope that God will touch their hearts.”
-
Pray for leaders at all levels of government, that the Holy Spirit would reveal to them the Way to true peace.​

PRAY FOR GUINEA
God’s kingdom is advancing in this Muslim-majority nation. A church leader writes, “We thank God for the great things happening in Guinea: new church plants, the building of tabernacles, access to clean water, and growing training opportunities for leaders and workers.” He asks us to “pray for God’s continued favor, protection, and provision over every church plant and ministry initiative, that they may bear lasting fruit for His glory.”This work is done in the context of spiritual battle, as the Enemy attempts to discourage God’s people and hamper the work. Just days ago, a key worker, sent from another West African nation to serve here, unexpectedly passed away. Please intercede with our brothers and sisters in Guinea.
-
Pray for this worker’s family and “for the families of pastors who have suffered tragic losses. Pray for God’s comfort, peace, and healing to surround them in their grief.”
​
-
“Ask the Lord to place His hedge of protection over pastors and their families, guarding their lives, health, and households.
​
-
“Pray for wisdom, strength, and spiritual covering for pastors, church planters, and trainers as they serve faithfully.
​
-
“Pray that even in sorrow, the Church in Guinea will stand firm, strengthened by the hope of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit.”
