Operation World : Pray for Rwanda : The closure of thousands of churches in 2024 brought attention to the relationship of the government to religion. This was not persecution so much as the move of the state to exercise regulations upon places of worship. Some Christian leaders argued that the new policies were unnecessarily draconian and that the five year window was insufficient to meet compliance. The requirements included matters of safety and hygiene, along with registration, doctrinal statements, and qualifications for pastors. The policy will have both positive and negative impacts, but smaller, poorer, and more rural congregations suffered the most. Pray that every congregation might have a place to gather, and every Christian ample opportunity for fellowship and worship. May the churches with more resources be a blessing to those with few. https://operationworld.org/prayer-calendar/10-17/#rwanda
