Middle-Eastern Christian woman tells Western Christians not to pray for persecution to end but for God to endow them with the Spirit to stand as God’s witnesses.
“Don’t pray for the persecution to be stopped. … But pray for the Christians there, for their boldness, their encouragement, for their faith and that they can all be witnesses for God’s work and for God,” said the woman.
The woman, identified only as “Maryam” for security purposes, who had visited a Church in Alabama, asked the congregation to continue praying for the Christians suffering persecution in Muslim states.
The woman asserted that the worsening state of persecution only worked to encourage Christians because they’ve seen how the Church increased in their area as a result. She described how the atrocities carried out by Muslim extremists in the name of Allah only led many Muslim people to question their faith.
