Islamist Violence Driving Muslims to Christ

[254] prayers in [17] nations have been posted for Farhad.

A church in Kobani, Syria, is seeing more Muslims turn to Christ after becoming disillusioned with Islam and its violent adherents. “If ISIS represents Islam, I don’t want to be a Muslim anymore,” Farhad Jasim told NBC News. Farhad attends the Church of the Brethren, a church established in September 2018 and composed mostly of former Muslims. Farhad became skeptical about Islam after witnessing the self-proclaimed Islamic State’s brutality during the Syrian civil war. “It didn’t take me long to discover that Christianity was the religion I was searching for,” he said. Pray for Farhad and many others like him who have embraced Christianity. Pray also for restored relationships with their families.

  • Lord, it is difficult for Muslims to choose you over their families. When they become Christians,
    They are usually disowned. Please restore the relationships of the former Muslims and their families. Bless the Christians with more faith and strengthen them to face the persecution they will undoubtably face. I pray this in Jesus' name. Amen.
