Pastor Abraham and Sara are living as representatives of God\u2019s love to displaced people in the Middle East. The ministry can be messy and difficult, yet they persist in demonstrating love in practical ways. And they are seeing great fruit for their ministry. Abraham and Sara will share how one woman\u2014the widow of an imam\u2014had heard all kinds of negative things about Christians. But when she came to the church, she found something very different: people who loved her and helped her. Listen to hear the story of how God answered the woman\u2019s prayer within 24 hours, and how a dream led her to commit her life to Jesus. Leaving Islam behind to follow Jesus comes with a cost, though. Abraham and Sara will also share what Christian persecution looks like in the region, including pressure from families or tribes as well as Islamists or government authorities. \u201cWe are planting seeds,\u201d Sara says, \u201cwe are the tools for His Kingdom.\u201d Pray for Abraham & Sara\u2019s ministry as they serve lost and forgotten people in the Middle East and seek to reveal Christ\u2019s love for them. The International Day of Prayer for Persecuted Christians (IDOP) is only a few weeks away. The Voice of the Martyrs offers resources to help you and your church pray for persecuted Christians on November 2\u2014and throughout the year. Be sure to watch the new short film telling the story of ongoing persecution in Democratic Republic of Congo\u2014and how God is bringing healing to Christians who\u2019ve suffered attacks and trauma.
