The Persecuted Church

Last Frontier

A group of Christian men in this mostly-Mulsim country came under severe persecution last year, receiving death threats. The wife of the man who led the persecution was very ill and one of the believers, a doctor, visited her and prayed for her healing. He then explained to her what the group believes. The woman is now well and she has rebuked her husband for getting in the way of the hand of God. The persecution, for the moment, has stopped.

The believers say that they have the names of several thousand people in their area who are at differing degrees of readiness to receive the Truth. Most of this resulted from the persecution. The tiny candle for Christ that was lit about three years ago is about to become a blazing fire. Pray that those who are seeking the truth would see its light and come to gather around its warmth.
