CENTRAL AFRICAN REPUBLIC — Displaced Christian Encouraged by Medical Help

Thousands of Christians in the CAR are living in IDP camps, like the one pictured here, after fleeing their homes when attackers invaded their villages, destroying property and assaulting anyone who opposed them.

Emmanuel Dounia lives in an IDP camp in the Central African Republic.

He was driven from his home after Seleka rebels attacked his village, burning his home and sexually assaulting his wife in front of him. His sons were killed in cannon fire, and he was also tortured. Since living in the camp, Emmanuel has struggled with his health, and access to the necessary medications has been limited. Recently, with VOM’s help, Emmanuel received the prescriptions he needed, and his peace has been restored. “My joy is immense. May the name of God be praised. Thank you — today I have peace of my heart,” he said. Though he has suffered much, his faith has not wavered as he has found comfort in the Scriptures. “What comforts me most is the Word of God,” he said. “In our camp, we never stop meeting to share the word of God.” Pray for Emmanuel to continue to find strength and encouragement from God’s word as his health recovers.

Pray that his witness will reach others inside the camp with the love of God.

    고난속에서 하나님을 의지하며 나아가는 것이 은혜이며 풍요속에서 하나님을 잃어버리는 것이 재앙입니다.
    가장 위험한 곳은 편안하고 풍요로운 세상입니다. 우리는 그속에서 주님을 잃어버리고 타락하기 쉽기 때문입니다.
    오직 말씀과 기도만이 우리를 눈멀지 않게 하는 빛이며 우리를 썩지않게 하는 소금입니다.
    고난속에 있는 것이 가장 안전합니다. 주님을 붙잡살수 있기 때문입니다.
    날마다 고난속에서 주님과 동행하게 하시니 감사합니다.
