Radical Muslims in the West Bank have threatened to kill a Christian convert from Islam and his family, including his four children. After receiving the death threats, the man and his family fled from Bethlehem to hide in a larger city. They request prayer that Israeli authorities will allow them to stay. Another West Bank convert to Christianity was confronted by his parents and his village imam with an ultimatum: Return to Islam within a month or be imprisoned by local Palestinian officials. When a Palestinian Muslim embraces Christ, it leads not only to a change in their religious beliefs, but their community also perceives that he or she has betrayed their own people. No one wants to be related to a traitor, so the pressure from family members on new Christian converts is often intense and violent.
Please pray…
Pray that the the Lord will protect and guide this family that fled from Bethlehem as they try to begin a new life in another city.
Pray that the Lord will protect the new convert who is being threatened by his parents and village imam with imprisonment.
Pray that the Lord will strengthen, encourage and comfort these new Christians and continue to draw more Palestinians to Himself.
