Christians Arrested and Fined
March 5, 2010
Muslims in TANZANIA invited two evangelists to a religious debate. Then, instead of attending, they called the police. They have been arrested and charged with “using religious sermons to incite Muslims and Christians into viewing each other with suspicion.” They have been harshly fined.
Pray that the charges will be dropped and that the evangelists will be released. “Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised.”
Girls Kidnapped and “Married”
March 4, 2010
In EGYPT, Christian girls are being kidnapped, raped, forced to convert to Islam, and then “married” to Muslim men. This horrific practice is made worse because the government refuses to prosecute the kidnappers.
Pray that God will place his hand of protection over all the Christian women in the region and that those already falsely “married” will be released. “For sin will have no dominion over you, since you are not under law but under grace.”
Algerian Church Burned
March 3, 2010
Islamist terrorists looted and burned a church in ALGERIA to the ground. Police have made no attempt to arraign the arsonists.
Pray that the believers will be able to rebuild their church. “A generation goes, and a generation comes, but the earth remains forever.”
Pastor Hunted through Two Countries
February 24, 2010
A Christian leader in SOMALIA fled to a refugee camp in Kenya. He was tracked to the camp, militants raided his home, and word is circulating throughout the settlement that he is to be murdered. Because of the threat he was forced to abandon his job and now has no way to support his wife and four children.
Pray for their safety as they continue to preach Christ despite the danger. "For the hand of the LORD his God was on him."
Elderly Women Imprisoned
February 20, 2010
Thirty elderly Christian women gathered for a prayer meeting in ERITREA. Police raided and arrested them all. Their children and grandchildren have had no news of their whereabouts or condition. Other believers who have been arrested in the region have faced torture or imprisonment in shipping containers.
Pray that these women's lives will be preserved and they will soon be released. "Blessed are those whose lawless deeds are forgiven, and whose sins are covered."
Sharia Law Instituted
February 18, 2010
KENYA has drafted a bill that recognizes Sharia Law as part of the country's constitution. The laws governing the right to propagate religion and the right of conversion are now in serious doubt.
Pray that God will protect the Christians' ability to witness. "For the LORD had made them joyful."
65 Christian Shops Ransacked
February 12, 2010
Massive riots have been unleashed in EGYPT. 3000 Muslims gathered and ransacked 65 Christian businesses. At least seven Christians were severely injured. A witness reports, "We have never been so frightened and humiliated in all our lives...our religion, and our Lord, were openly insulted."
Girl Beaten for "Immodesty"
February 27, 2010
A Christian girl in SUDAN was walking down the street when she was arrested by Muslim police for "indecency." Before her parents even heard of her arrest she had been given 50 lashes--even though the law says that no minor can be whipped.
Pray that she will heal quickly from her injuries. "That you may be justified in your words, and prevail when you are judged."
Muslim Convert Charged with Blasphemy
February 8, 2010
A woman in SUDAN started to see visions of Christ speaking to her. Confused, she asked a Muslim friend what it meant, and the Muslim sent her to a believer. She became a Christian. Now, her Muslim family has charged her with apostasy, and with the support of their tribe they are attempting to kill her. They tried to kidnap her son. Both are now in hiding as she seeks refuge in other countries.
Young Convert Suicides
February 6, 2010
A young Muslim man in MOROCCO told his family of his conversion to Christianity. They threatened and savagely beat him. He went into a deep depression. He tried to flee the country and then to drown himself. He was rescued and sent to a mental home, but he was released by his father who "under no circumstances wanted a Christian for a son." Upon his release, he apparently hanged himself.
