Uplift and comfort the persecuted in their pain

It's deeply shocking to see that such violence and abuse is commonplace for Christians in many parts of the world, including converts from Islam in Africa.

Their acceptance of a loving Heavenly Father — and the saving grace of His Son — is often met with hatred and aggression from neighbors … and worse, their own family members.

“Soon after converting and attending churches in late September,” Gatestone Institute reports, “Sula Mugudi, 70, and his wife, Aisha, 62, returned to their modest home only to find it destroyed by their outraged relatives”:

As we returned back to our grass-thatched roof house, [they said,] we found some of the debris around the house. On entering the house, we found there was a threatening message, “Today if we find you around, we shall destroy you with the house. You have become an embarrassment to our Muslim family by joining a wrong religion.”

But you and I can give them hope today. You can reach out through Liberty Relief International to persecuted believers, like this couple, in their pain.

Your compassionate gift will provide practical humanitarian relief like emergency food, water, shelter, and safety to believers in need of immediate help.

Our Christ-centered local partners — in Uganda and elsewhere — also offer trauma counseling, assistance in rebuilding homes or churches that have been burned, ransacked, or destroyed … plus Bibles, discipleship training, and more.

It’s beyond difficult to imagine what this couple must be going through. Their church is keeping them “hidden” for the time being. Please pray for their safety ...

And please give generously to keep LRI’s partners ministering to the persecuted. God bless you!
