NORTH AFRICA: Suffering for Truth is Beautiful

Shakir was shocked when his Muslim friend told him he had become a Christian, and he was inspired to consider the truth of Jesus himself. After comparing the principles of Islam to the Bible, Shakir was convinced of the truth of God's Word and chose to follow Christ.

Through donations to VOM, people can receive a free prayer calendar and get daily reminders to pray for persecuted Christians.

He reminds us that Jesus came to earth knowing He would suffer and that, as a Christian, we should also know that persecution will come. He encourages listeners to pray for believers in North Africa to stay in their communities and serve, and for his family to remain faithful to the Lord and His calling on their lives.
