Comoros Islands
Proclaiming Christ is forbidden in the Comoros
For Sunday 28 September, Ramadan 2008. "Loving Muslims Through Prayer"Many years ago the Comoros Islands were known for their exports of perfume essences, as well as vanilla and cloves. Today, however, the Comoros are largely forgotten. The islands are poor and underdeveloped with high unemployment. Most people are subsistence farmers.
The Comorans are proud of their Islamic heritage, dating from the early 1500s, and Islam is the state religion. Harassment and social discrimination against the followers of Jesus is widespread and evangelism is illegal. The Bible is available in French and Arabic, and portions of the scriptures in Comoran. However, due to the low literacy rate (near 60%), Gospel recordings are more useful. Some Comorans have recently entered the Kingdom.

Prayer Starters:
- Pray that the Gospel would be made available to all the families of the Comoros Islands (Genesis 12:1-3).
- Pray that Christian music, Bible stories and other radio broadcasts will gain an audience and touch many lives for Jesus.
- Pray against fear, witchcraft, curses, and interaction with jinn (evil spirits). The Comorans are bound by these practices. Only the stronger power of Jesus Christ can set them free (1 Peter 5:8, Matthew 10:28-30).
