LEBANON – Persecuted Christian Concerned for Cousin
Christian converts from Islam sometimes flee to other nations to escape extreme persecution.
Salim, a believer, shared the gospel with a cousin who now faces severe persecution.
When Salim became a Christian, his wealthy family took away his job, and a few relatives tried to kill him. Those relatives even followed him to another country, hoping to harm him. But Salim’s faith grew stronger, and he shared it with other family members, including an older relative. At one point that relative became sick and asked Salim, “Why doesn’t your God heal?” Salim told the relative he could pray and ask the Lord himself, and when he did, he received answers to his prayers. Through Salim’s witness, several of his family members have committed their lives to Christ. But one cousin who became a Christian began facing severe pressure from his family and asked Salim to delete all their digital conversations.
“Please pray that the Lord will protect him,” Salim asked, “and that he will be with him and strengthen his heart.”
