Bahrain is an island country off the coast of Saudi Arabia. It consists of about 50 islands in total. Although it is primarily Islamic run nation, it is one of the least restricted Islamic nations. Freedom for customs not allowed in Islam are allowed. Many people from other Islamic nations come there to relax because of the freedoms allowed.
The nation is very wealthy and hires nearly 60% of its work from foreigners who have come into the country. Workers are often paid very low wages and not treated the best.
Christian churches are allowed to be established in the country. People are allowed to talk about their beliefs in public, which is not common in Islamic nations.
Points to pray:
Continued freedom for believers
Open doors to reach the immigrants coming in to work
Proper treatment of the workers
Churches to be established
Muslims to see the light of Jesus
