In the first two weeks of 2026, Yemeni authorities detained more than 50 Christians who are now missing and likely undergoing intense interrogation, including torture. (January 14, Open Doors UK)
Yemeni Christians ask for prayer:
- For protection, wisdom and refuge in the midst of ongoing chaos.
- For authorities to realize Christians have no political agenda and are a blessing, not a threat.
- For this wave of aggression against Christians to stop.
- For each Christian prisoner to be released immediately and unharmed.
- For God to grant every Christian prisoner favor with prison guards and interrogators, and they will extend grace to them.
- For Christians to feel God’s presence and empowering every moment, especially in the moments of greatest difficulty.
- For God to be a Shield around them, and He will give them courage and hope.
- For protection over the families of those who have been arrested, and that they will feel God’s presence with them and His empowering to forgive their persecutors.
- For God to strengthen the Yemeni church and cast out every fear with His perfect love.
- For God to break the power of Satan over Muslim hearts and the entire nation, awakening them to Truth.
- For every Yemeni heart to long for Christ, turn to Him and be saved.
Yemen ranks #3 on Open Doors’ World Watchlist of most dangerous countries in the world for Christians to live due to Islamic extremism.
O Father God, please have mercy. Be a Shield around each of these who have been arrested. Guard them from torture and give them favor with the authorities. Use them for Your glory, shining Your love and forgiveness and sharing the way to salvation. Draw interrogators, prison guards and every Muslim in their path to You. Make the way for their quick release. Grant their families courage to forgive their persecutors and empower them to shine Your love in the midst of these dark times. Be a Shield around every believer and seeker in all of Yemen. Protect them from persecution and harm. Hide them from those bent on evil. When their persecutors come after them, open their eyes to see the angels guarding Your beloved children. Grip them with fear of the Lord so they will drop their weapons, fall to their knees before You in repentance and choose You as Savior. Give Christians courage to stand in the midst of so much fear, to love so fiercely throngs of Yemenis will hunger for Your love, peace and joy and seek You until they find You. Anoint every believer with Your words to draw the lost into Your arms. Rescue those in danger, comfort those who grieve, and connect Christians together safely so they will encourage one another in You. Please, O God, bring an end to the violence. So many Yemenis have done unspeakable acts just to survive. Forgive them, Lord. They don’t know of Your love; they know only violence and death. Please get up in the face of every person and show them who You are. Give them a hunger for Jesus more desperate than all other needs. Then make the way for them to hear Your good news. Bring Christians into their path. Invade their dreams. Place Your name upon their lips. When they cry out to You, answer them. Perform signs and miracles and wonders to show them Your great love. Strengthen Christians’ faith and use them to shine so brightly in the midst of such terrible darkness all will see their peace and be drawn to You. Point out to them those who are in need, and empower them to rescue, heal, shelter, feed, encourage and counsel. Give them boldness to share Your Word, even in the face of death, and bless them abundantly. Multiply their food and other supplies so miraculously, the needy will know to come to them for help. Raise up a new generation of Yemenis who will love You with all their hearts and lead their nation to salvation. Get Your Word translated into the language of every unreached people group, and make a way for every person to hear Your good news and respond. Awaken every heart in Yemen to You. Lift the veil from Yemeni eyes so they will see You are the One they’ve been waiting for.
