Muslims Caught Up In Christ's Love | 321 | Reports 21
20th Dec 13
An International Needs Network (I.N.) worker in Egypt – we'll call David – tells how Muslim Brotherhood protestors surrounded his home for 50 days a few months ago. They kept coming back to the area. So the police and the army surrounded the area and there was a lot of fighting. Once the Muslim Brotherhood government of Mohammed Morsi was ousted, Christians had hoped that would change. But, David says, it didn't. "They want to destroy the country. More than 80 churches have been burned. Many Christians have been killed," David says. I.N. Network has established an emergency fund to help survivors of the violence. "Many families – especially in the south – don't have enough clothes… so we're doing a project to distribute blankets." While the violence has been difficult, David says there is good news. "Churches are united together. And, the spirit of prayer is happening in all the churches. People are praying all the time. The response to the violence against burned churches has also been remarkable. Christians posted signs on their burned out churches that read, 'You burned our church, but we love you.' So this makes many Muslims discover the reality of Christianity, and many of them come to know Jesus." These new believers meet underground in secret. They worship the Lord and grow in faith together. "The easiest way to reach Muslims is through converted Muslims," says David. He's excited: "It's always like this," He says, "When there is pressure over the churches, the Holy Spirit is working and many people are coming to know Jesus as Saviour" Source: I.N. Network BIBLE STUDY: Ephesians 3:16-19 PRAISE: God for the witness of faithful believers in the crisis. Pray that many Muslims will find Jesus.
