Former Imam Faces Persecution After Converting to Christianity

[349] prayers in [20] nations have been posted for Darweshi.

A former Muslim leader who placed his faith in Christ on April 14 after a debate with a Christian evangelist is now being threatened by men from his former mosque. Darweshi, who is currently receiving discipleship training as a new Christian, has received death threats and fears for his family members’ lives. He hasn’t returned home since becoming a Christian because men from his former mosque are looking for him. He and his wife, who has not become a Christian, are living in a small apartment where Darweshi is receiving discipleship training. Pray that Darweshi will stand strong in the Lord, that his wife will come to know Christ, that his family members will remain safe and that God will provide for his family.
