Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, Let us not grow weary in remembering those who suffer for the name of Jesus. Today, I urge you—pray earnestly for our persecuted family in the Middle East. For many, following Christ is not just difficult—it is dangerous. In places where the gospel is restricted or rejected, believers live each day with uncertainty, knowing that tomorrow is never guaranteed. Imagine the weight they carry—the fear, the stress, the constant vigilance. Yet in the midst of this, their faith remains alive, courageous, and unshaken. Many cry out to God daily for wisdom, strength, and protection—simply to endure and remain faithful. And still, there is hope. We are hearing powerful testimonies—especially from former Muslims in countries like Iran and Iraq—who are encountering Jesus and boldly sharing Him within their communities. God is moving, even in the darkest places. Every prayer matters. Every voice lifted in faith strengthens them. As someone who once worked as an archaeologist in the Middle East, this is deeply personal to me. I have seen the land, met the people, and carry a burden in my heart for them. So let us rise together—let our prayers be heard. Pray for protection, for courage, for provision, and for the light of Christ to shine even brighter through them. They are not alone. And neither are we. 🙏
