Iranian Security Officials Supernaturally Blinded, Missionaries Protected
As missionaries Omid* and Alborz* approached a roadside security checkpoint, they tried not to glance at the bag of 40 Bibles sitting in the front seat of their car. Their destination was a small village in which they planned to distribute those Bibles—an illegal act with severe consequences—and they knew their faith in the Lord’s protection over them was about to be put to a serious, life-threatening test. As they slowed their car to comply with the checkpoint’s rules, they tried not to think about the disaster that would unfold if the Iranian security guards—now motioning them to stop—searched their car and discovered their not-so-hidden contraband. Instead, they prayed. “God, please, we surrender to you because they will search everywhere,” Omid whispered. “Take care of us.”

But when her health took a drastic, deadly turn, the life she’d hoped to attain for herself disappeared.

Missionaries Assist Earthquake Victims in Myanmar
When eight local missionaries set out to help victims of the devastating earthquake that rocked Myanmar in March, they had no idea of the human misery they would soon encounter. They knew the disaster had crippled their country, but their own ministry buildings had survived with minimal damage and their fellow missionaries were safe. Now, however, the team fell into silence as the ministry van approached the first stop: a railway station. Here, more than 300 families huddled on the platforms, the only shelter they could find after their homes were destroyed. “Their lives were so miserable and pitiful,” the ministry leader said.

Risking All for Christ in Kenya
When Akello*, a young Kenyan pastor, arrived at his church early one morning, he had no idea that day would be his last. As he fitted the key into the lock, robbers suddenly surrounded him, demanding entry in hopes they could steal whatever valuables might be inside. Maybe Akello resisted. Maybe that’s why they killed him. But the details became irrelevant when he fell to the ground, church keys still in hand. “He was one of the Christian youth leaders that I have trained in evangelism and discipleship,” a local ministry leader later said. “The burial will be next week; it is very difficult for them.”
