Amina was kicked out of her home in Burkina Faso when her Muslim family learned about her new faith in Christ. Separated from her community, her finances dwindled, but she sensed God telling her to trust him. After hearing that message, a local pastor connected Amina with front-line workers who helped her build a tiny but secure home. Significantly, for Amina, the shade beneath the small sheet-metal portico provides a place where women can meet regularly to hear God’s Word through an audio player. Pray for Amina as she continues to trust God.

Amina was raised in a Muslim family in Burkina Faso, and she later married a Muslim man who died after they had three children together. Amina supported herself and her children by working in her family’s fields, until one day she cut her leg badly in a bicycle accident. An infection spread through her body, but medicine and a traditional spirit medium failed to help. Then one night she heard a voice telling her to go to Christians who would pray for her. The next day, Amina found a pastor who shared Jesus Christ with her. She placed her faith in Christ that day. Her health improved dramatically, but her leg muscle was destroyed, leaving her disabled and barely able to walk. When she told her Muslim family about her new faith in Christ, they tried to force her to return to Islam, threatening to withdraw all financial support. Amina refused to give up her faith in Christ, so her family withdrew their financial support and expelled her from her home.

On Feb. 13, 2017, Pastor Raymond Koh was abducted off the streets of Malaysia. Although the abduction occurred in broad daylight and has been widely publicized through security-camera video, Pastor Raymond hasn’t been seen or heard from since. In 2019, Malaysia’s Human Rights Commission blamed the forced disappearance on the “Special Branch” of Malaysia’s police. Last year Susanna Koh, Pastor Raymond's wife, won a court verdict against the government and members of the police. The judge ordered the investigation to continue and ruled that the financial settlement would increase every day until Raymond is found. The government immediately appealed the verdict, and another judge has granted a stay, once again halting the investigation. Please pray for justice for the Koh family and that the truth of what happened to Pastor Raymond nine years ago will be revealed.

REMEMBERING MARTYRS: In February of 2015, 21 men were killed by ISIS on a beach in Libya.

ISIS terrorists clearly understand the power of video footage. The group repeatedly released high-definition records of its evil from the burning of a Jordanian pilot to the beheading of Western hostages. Images from the 2015 executions of 21 “people of the cross” on a beach in Libya are seared into the memory of millions. The victims, 20 Coptic Christians from Egypt and one Christian from Ghana, were hailed as martyrs and heroes. The video captured some of them saying, in the final seconds of their earthly lives, “Jesus, help me.” They could have saved their lives by accepting Islam, but knowing what awaited them, they chose the way of Christ. Christians around the world continue to draw inspiration from their courageous faith.

In the context of persecution, gathering for group Bible study and prayer is dangerous. Our persecuted brothers and sisters know the value of demonstrating their commitment to Christ through corporate and regular engagement with God’s Word, so they willingly risk oppression, attack and imprisonment. Because of persecutors’ opposition, relatively few Christians in the most difficult places to follow Christ own Bibles. This is a measurable problem, and its solution is achievable in our lifetime, if we are willing to pay the price to get a Bible to every believer in hostile areas and restricted nations.

“Persecution is not the only strategy of our spiritual enemy,” writes VOM President Cole Richards. “He wins by getting us to give ourselves to anything but Christ. For each person he has defeated through persecution that tempts them to unfaithfulness or despair, there are surely at least 10 he has defeated through simply tempting them with selfishness and worldliness. Whether through pleasure or suffering, distraction or despair, the enemy wins when Christ is no longer the center of our lives, our families or our churches.”

One of the blessings of persecution our brothers and sisters face is clear understanding that they are dependent upon the revelation of Christ in God’s Word. They hunger for that which they know to be necessary for their survival. Despite grave risk and great cost, they do not allow God’s Word and prayer to be relegated to the fringes of their daily behaviors. They use Scripture in ways that ensure Christ is placed at the center, in truth.

In 2026, the Islamic month of fasting known as Ramadan will occur from Feb. 17 through March 19. During this time, especially on the last day of fasting, known as the Eid al-Fitr, many Muslims pray that Allah will speak to them. While earnestly calling out to Allah, some have had encounters with Christ. Pray that more Muslims will cry out for truth and come to know Jesus Christ.
