Excerpt:
David Innes, of Arab World Ministries, said that the events in Libya and across the Arab world reflected the desire of the young people to have more say in the governing of their country.

He appealed to Christians to pray for a quick end to the conflict in Libya and for believers to be strong during the period of uncertainty.

Regardless of what transpires from the revolution, Mr Innes said the coming months would be challenging for Libya and require substantial rebuilding as a result of the devastation left by the fighting.

As Libyans wake up to a different country, he said prayer was the most important thing.

“We are watching with interest to see what will develop in the nation,” he said.

“Some Christians in North Africa see this as a God event and a chance to boldly declare their faith. Libya has very few known believers but we have seen Libyans coming to faith recently.

“One Christian there told us ‘Please remember me’. They are small in number but we are praying that Arab believers will have authority in the Lord and disciple their nations to see the church grow there.
