Disgraced. Shamed. Shunned. Put under house arrest by family members.

All for choosing Jesus in Iraq’s majority-Muslim country and culture.

This is what “Sara” experienced when her father found out she converted to Christianity ...

And she’s exactly the kind of person your support reaches when you give to Liberty Relief International.

Sara has lived through many hardships. She’s suffered abuse, Islamist aggression, and loneliness ...

But her faith has not wavered. Disowned by her earthly father, she knows God is her true Father. Sara tells Open Doors UK:

“Before knowing Christ, my life was empty. I didn’t have the joy and peace that I have now in my heart. … After I found Christ, my life transformed completely. I started to know love. I am grateful for all the bad things and experiences I’ve been through. I got to know Him better, and I was transformed into His image. I have never regretted the decision I made.”

While my heart breaks at what Sara has endured, I praise God knowing that her faith is genuine and is making a difference in her life and those around her!

Liberty Relief International’s Christ-centered partners, empowered by your compassionate support, are on the ground ministering to believers like Sara … to encourage, love, and support them in their difficult journey as new Christians.

Yes, life for our persecuted brothers and sisters is often terrifying and dangerous.

But as you give generously today, you’ll stand with them in the Middle East, across North Africa, and in dangerous regions worldwide by helping meet humanitarian needs while providing hope through trauma counseling, spiritual support, and more.

Please join me in praying for Sara today … that God would continue to be her Source of strength and safety.

Thank you for standing with LRI for countless thousands more like Sara. I am deeply grateful.
