In Somalia, where leaving Islam can cost a life, Fatima* quietly gave her heart to Christ.

When she finally prayed aloud at a secret gathering — “Lord Jesus, forgive my sins ... I am born again” — her husband, Ibrahim*, was furious and forbade her from attending church.

Desperate to follow Jesus freely, Fatima fled with their three young children.

Months later, something unexpected happened ...

Missing his family, Ibrahim came looking for them — promising his wife could worship as she wanted. Then, on Christmas Day 2025, Ibrahim himself gave his life to Jesus.

Because compassionate friends like you care, stories of courage and redemption are still unfolding in some of the most hostile, dangerous places on earth to be a believer.

• Keep encouraging brothers and sisters.

• Keep meeting their needs through your generous giving.

• Keep strengthening the body of Christ.

• Keep shining truth and hope into oppressive nations.

• Keep praying for the persecuted.
  

God bless you!
