Fifty-one people have died and more than 1 million are stranded after recent catastrophic flooding and landslides in Bangladesh. “The southeast part of the country has been seriously affected,” a local ministry leader said. “Many people, including our believers, have lost their houses and are living in a difficult situation without food and shelter.”
Mariam*, Laila*, and Huda* came to Jordan as refugees. All were from different walks of life and different countries. But all had one thing in common: all were pregnant with little to no knowledge of birth and caring for a newborn.
Assaults by bandits and Islamic extremists have increased across northern Nigeria in recent days, and assisted missionaries are among those affected. “This year has been especially difficult for our missionaries serving in high-risk zones,” the ministry leader said. “It is a deeply distressing and unstable situation.”
Persecution against Christians in Nepal has steadily increased in the last several years and is driven by a rise in Hindu nationalism. “Anti-conversion laws have created an atmosphere of intimidation,” one leader of an assisted ministry leader said. “Over the past six months, our greatest challenge has not been the remoteness of the villages or the harshness of the terrain, it has been fear within the hearts of some believers and leaders.” Despite the increasing risk of following Christ, the Holy Spirit is moving. People are becoming more open to the gospel, and missionaries are working hard to encourage and comfort believers in this time of persecution. “We remind them that God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control,” a ministry leader said.
Akin* arrived in Italy with nothing more than the clothes on his back after a treacherous sea-crossing from Africa. His official documents had been lost along the way; now, he had no way to prove his identity or his plight as a refugee.
Linh, an elderly, illiterate woman in Vietnam, gave her life to Jesus after suffering from a mystery illness for years. But her decision to follow Christ came with consequences. Though many in her village were transformed through her testimony, local authorities were enraged, and their visits to her home changed her life forever.
