NGO Predicts 2014 will be a Rough Year for Christians
Looking forward into the New Year, Release International, an NGO that monitors Christian persecution worldwide has predicted that 2014 will be another rough year for Christians living in many countries. Specifically, the NGO singled out the countries of Nigeria, Afghanistan and Pakistan as countries where Christians will most likely continue to face intense persecution. Please pray for the Christians living in these countries.

Daily Hardship for Christians in Egypt
The past year has been incredibly difficult for Christians in Egypt. When the persecution of Christians has made it into the news it has been the reports of attacks on churches or kidnappings. Lost in the reporting is the level of hostility that Christians face on a normal day while trying to carry out simple tasks from riding on public transportation to buying goods from a store. The hostility shown towards Christians by some reinforces the idea that their rights and their place in Egyptian life are not secure.

Lawyers of Heavily Persecuted Church in Central China Plan to Take Case to Higher Level
At least a dozen Christians belonging to the Nanle County Christian Church in Henan Province remain locked away after authorities began of a series of detentions and attacks against the church in mid-November. A group of human rights lawyers determined to defend the church have announced they will attempt to take the case to the provincial court level, though all of their efforts thus far to defend church members or even meet with the detained churches pastor have been blocked. The case is an example of just how much power Chinese authorities retain to arrest and intimidate Christian communities, even when those communities belong to an official government sanctioned "Three-Self" church.

Pressure on Churches Across China Continues Into January
Reports of detentions and intimidation of Christians by Chinese authorities continue to emerge from believers in provinces across China. One Christian reportedly died in police custody in Xinjiang Province from complications of an existing condition after suffering inhumane treatment. Christians in China, especially those belonging to unregistered house churches,  saw a dramatic uptick in harassment by authorities over the course of the Christmas holiday.
