West Bank Christians Threatened

[209] prayers in [15] nations have been posted for Christian converts.

Radical Muslims in the West Bank have threatened to kill a Christian convert from Islam and his family, including his four children. After receiving the death threats, the man and his family fled from Bethlehem to hide in a larger city. They request prayer that Israeli authorities will allow them to stay. Another West Bank convert to Christianity was confronted by his parents and his village imam with an ultimatum: Return to Islam within a month or be imprisoned by local Palestinian officials. “When a Palestinian Muslim embraces Christ, it leads not only to a change in their religious beliefs, but their community also perceives that he or she has betrayed their own people,” a front-line worker explained. “No one wants to be related to a traitor, so the pressure from family members on new Christian converts is often intense and violent.” The worker requested prayer for both converts.
