Three Indian Ocean islands, a holiday paradise with picturesque beaches, but with a history of political instability until its first democratic elections in 2006. The Church was established here in the 1970s, but now the small evangelical minority is restricted from openly sharing the Gospel by the law of the land, which must draw its inspiration from Islam. Muslim fundamentalists are becoming more active in the country and persecuting Christians more boldly.

Prayer

• Thank God that the Church continues to grow, encouraged by visiting believers from nearby countries.
• Pray against the increase in occult practices on the islands, that Christians would hold fast to the truth.
• Pray for the Bible to become available in local languages.
