Christian Soldier Suffering Yet Serving

[6] prayers in [1] nation have been posted for Christian soldier.

A former Muslim has been arrested and drugged against his will yet continues to share Christ with others. This man, who serves in the military in a Middle Eastern country, became a follower of Christ in 2024. Not long after his conversion, his own parents reported him to authorities, who arrested him. He spent a month in jail, and then the courts ordered that he be committed to a psychiatric hospital, where he is forced to take drugs that cloud his thinking. “Despite this, he continues to read his Bible and share his faith with others,” said a front-line worker. “One of his friends has even professed faith in Christ as a result.” The front-line worker requests prayer for this man’s protection and that he will be able to continue bearing witness to Christ.

I pray he can be free soon. Please also protect his converted friend and anyone else who comes to faith in Christ through his witness. Save his mother and family. Thank You. Amen.
