Pray for "Abdul" Facing Hostility from Muslim Neighbors

[501] prayers in [26] nations have been posted for "Abdul".

After "Abdul" and his family came to Christ in a predominantly Muslim area of Uganda, they faced persecution from villagers and Muslim leaders. Local leaders came to his defense, and for the most part, the harassment ended. However, still fearful that they are being watched, Abdul and his family decided to be baptized in another village. A VOM worker says a strong discipleship team located in the region continues to see people like Abdul and his family come to Christ in spite of the risk of persecution. Some converts come openly to church events, but the team also meets secretly with believers who have not yet told their Muslim families about their new faith.

  • Dear Father,

    The world may destroy our buildings, and take us from our families, and torture and kill us. But, they cannot take away your love for us (Romans 8:28), nor can they take away our eternal hope in Jesus, or remove our name from His Book of Life. They also cannot make us hate them, as they hate us, for God is love. We pray for the enemy.
