Christians In The Middle East Forced To Identify As Muslims

Mar 5, 2024

Give Hope in the Name of Jesus

Every aspect of a believer’s life is under the microscope for those who leave Islam for Christ in hostile and dangerous areas of the world … including restrictions on who you can and cannot marry.

International Christian Concern reports on this dilemma for Christian converts:

In many regions, Muslims cannot change their religious designation on their ID card. This religious identity is with them for life, passed down through the religious identity of the father, even if they make a choice to leave Islam and become a Christian. In Islam, a Muslim woman cannot marry a Christian man. Thus, for a Muslim background Christian woman, her [only] options for marriage are to be married to a Muslim man and have her children raised as Muslims.

Liberty Relief International reaches out to persecuted Christians, supporting local partners and providing aid for the men, women, and children who navigate Islamist persecution because of their love for Jesus. Many of those we reach are Christians forced to live with a false Muslim identity.

Your generous tax-deductible gift to Liberty Relief International today will keep emotional support and trauma counseling available for those who desperately need it …

  • You’ll also supply emergency food, water, safety, and shelter to those fleeing violence — attacks that often come from their own communities or families …

  • In addition, you’ll keep distributing Bibles and gospel-centered materials via caring frontline workers who offer help and hope in times of crisis.

The global church continues to experience unfathomable depths of abuse and discrimination.

But God is with our brothers and sisters in their trauma — by His Spirit and grace, and through your generosity and prayers on their behalf.

Thank you for your partnership in this urgently needed work!
