Christians Forced from Family Homes

[39] prayers in [9] nations have been posted for Uzbek families.

Front-line workers say that three families who left Islam and became followers of Christ have been forced from their homes. “It is common for young families to live with or near their parents or other family members as they save up funds to someday build their own place to live,” said a front-line worker. “But Christians who have been forced [out] usually can’t afford to pay rent and to save money so they can build or purchase their own home in the future.” Another difficulty these Christians face is that landlords may refuse to rent homes to followers of Christ. “We need to pray for Christians to be accepted by their families, and also that they will have long-term places to live,” said the front-line worker.

  • LordYou didn't paint a pretty picture of what we would face if we chose to serve You. Please strengthen my hurting brothers & sisters in Uzbekistan. In Islam, they never experienced the suffering that they are now. But they also never knew of the Truth that they have now. May they praise You in their suffering because You are worth all this and more.
