September 21
When a widow chose to put her faith in Christ, her son and daughter-in-law forced her to leave their home and she was banished from the village. Christians in another village built her a small hut and now help to take care of her. In another place, a believer who was a successful nurse was constantly asked to renounce his faith, which he refused to do. One day, he stopped receiving his regular salary, and the hospital told him they wanted him to resign; otherwise, they would fire him. He chose to resign. Your donations support persecuted believers. Pray they will trust in Christ’s provision in difficult times.
“That’s why I take pleasure in my weaknesses, and in the insults, hardships, persecutions, and troubles that I suffer for Christ. For when I am weak, then I am strong.” (2 Corinthians 12:10)
