"If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it ... All of you together are Christ's body, and each of you is a part of it." (1 Cor. 12:26-27).

Thank you for the privilege of having your support as a friend of Liberty Relief International.

Will you lift these prayer requests before the Lord over the next few hours?

Please pray for:

• A Saudi convert to Christianity who faces several trumped-up charges. Earlier this month, his wife's family contacted her and said her mother was ill. However, upon arrival at her family's home, she was locked in and not allowed to leave. Her family told her they believe her husband will be sent to prison soon ... and that it would be better for her to stay with them and divorce him. Her husband is desperately trying to get his wife released from her illegal confinement.

• Villages in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). According to recent field reports, two separate attacks took place, killing two and displacing several who are now missing. One local partner described what is happening in eastern DRC as a "war zone." In addition, millions of people nationwide don't have enough to eat.

• Believers in Central African Republic. The security situation there is plummeting, causing terrible suffering for civilians. "The church is overwhelmed by the incessant attacks by rebel groups on communities, which lead to displacement, uncertainty, hunger and trauma," report field workers.

The needs are many—these three merely scratch the surface of the rampant persecution taking place around the globe.

In addition to your prayers for the above, please take one more faith step:

Please give compassionately to LRI to help bear our persecuted family's burdens.

Your generous gift today will provide physical, emotional and spiritual support to men, women and children worldwide.

Our Christ-centered partners on the ground do whatever they can to be the hands and feet of Jesus—to give hope and help wherever it is needed.

Please don't hesitate. Let persecuted believers know they're not alone!

Thank you for your prayers ... and for responding as generously as you feel led today.
