World Evangelical Alliance - Interceding for Syria and Its People: A call for prayer

Interceding for Syria and Its People: A Call for Prayer

Alongside the churches in Syria, the World Evangelical Alliance along with the Middle Eastern and North African Regional Alliance are calling for a week of prayer of fast beginning on 11th December 2025. With the abrupt political and social changes in Syria, we ask the global church to join us together in prayer.


Is not this the fast that I choose: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke?” -Isaiah 58:6


Let us pray for:


Peace and Stability in Syria

Pray for a peaceful transition in the ongoing regime change, resulting in justice, stability, and prosperity for all Syrians. Kindly ask for God’s wisdom to guide global and regional leaders involved in shaping Syria’s future.


Protection of Christian Communities

Pray for the safety of all Christian communities, churches, and leaders in Syria as they navigate this period of uncertainty. Please intercede against threats posed by rising radical groups, asking for God’s shield over His people.


Wisdom for Church Leaders

Pray for clarity, wisdom, and strength for Christian leaders ministering to their congregations amid adversity. Kindly ask God to provide them with discernment as they shepherd His flock in this challenging times.


Return and Restoration

Pray for the safe return of displaced individuals, including approximately 10,000 Christians, to their homes in Aleppo and other regions. Please lift up those uniting into their communities, asking for resources, opportunities, and support for their rebuilding efforts.


Radicalism and its evil

Kindly intercede against the influence of radical groups, praying for the establishment of a just and secure society. Please ask God for peace to replace conflict and for God’s hand to dismantle forces of oppression.


Unity and Faith

Pray for unity among believers in Syria, that they may remain steadfast in faith and be a light to others. Kindly ask for boldness and perseverance in their witness, sharing the hope of the Gospel.


Let us approach this week of prayer with the faith and hope, believing that God is at work in Syria. May our sincere intercession contribute to peace, freedom, and God’s glory in the region.


Kindly Sign Up and join us on December 18th at 5.00PM CET (4.00PM GMT) for an hour of prayer with leaders in Syria, the Middle East region and the broader global community.
