Encourage Those Enduring Many Trials

A Christian man named Zaman in Bangladesh is frustrated, angry, and feeling defeated.
He has been on his own without his family for over six months — he struggles as a “single” father, caring for his daughter. He misses his son and his wife very much. His in-laws forced his wife to leave Zaman when they found out he converted from Islam to Christianity.
Though he lives in deep despair over this split in his beloved family, Zaman stands firm, saying:
“I will never renounce my faith in Jesus Christ. If my wife wants a separation, I will not stop her, but I cannot degrade my faith and in [the] Lord.”
It’s for believers like Zaman that Liberty Relief International exists. And this happens time and again to those who choose life in Christ in Muslim-dominant regions.
Your generous donation to LRI today will encourage brothers and sisters like him through their struggles.
Persecution is painful for those whose families have been torn apart.
But you give men, women, and children help and hope — tangibly and spiritually — as they live for Jesus among neighbors and family members who despise their newfound faith.
Please pray for Zaman today … for his physical, spiritual, and emotional well-being ... that God would reconcile Zaman’s family and prompt his Muslim family members to follow Jesus — just as he did.
And please give to empower LRI’s local Christ-centered partners to reach out to others on your behalf, comforting and uplifting the oppressed in Jesus’ name.
In His service,
