When a Muslim man from a deeply religious family became a Christian, several family members beat him so badly that he lost sight in one eye. They took all of his belongings as well as his wife and children and refused to let him see them again until he returned to Islam. Despite his misery, the man did not abandon the faith and even led two of his cousins to Christ. “He suffers a lot, but he is happy in the Lord and lives his days by faith, preaching Jesus Christ,” a ministry leader said. Donations assist those suffering in Jesus’ name. Pray they will persevere no matter the circumstances.
“I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.” (Galatians 2:20)
