A Family Being Torn Apart

Nov 20, 2025

Support Families Facing Persecution

Many individuals feel the weight and grief of persecution for their faith … but couples and families do as well.

One such Christian couple is Mara* and Hakim*. They’re raising two young children, but Mara’s father — a powerful local mullah — demanded she divorce her husband, calling their marriage “haram” (sinful).

Mara’s father forced her to recite Islamic prayers, attempted to take her and the children from their home, and condemned Hakim for resisting.

Will you join me in praying for this family’s safety and unity — that they’ll be steadfast in their faith in Jesus — and for God to soften the heart of Mara’s father?

Too often, families are torn apart as a result of oppression and persecution. People are forced to flee for their lives … children are ripped from their parents’ care … extended family members take matters into their own hands in an effort to deter any love for Jesus ...

And it all points to the ongoing need for supporting your brothers and sisters in Christ.

Stand with Liberty Relief International today to minister to persecuted individuals, couples, families, and communities who face persistent harassment and attack.

  • You’ll provide the tangible, practical love of Christ to believers targeted relentlessly for their faith.

  • You’ll give hope to the hurting, strengthen families in search of peace, and let them know you’re willing to share their burdens, as Jesus does.

Thank you for your compassion. And may God bless you for your response.

His service,

Mat Staver
