Bangladeshi Christians Face Christmas Eve Horror
As Christmas Eve dawned in Bangladesh, Christians—for a moment—tried to set aside the uncertainty and fear that has plagued the country since the political upheaval of several months prior and turn their attention to honoring the birth of Christ. But in a predominantly Muslim country, believers knew this day didn’t come without its risks. And in one village, Christians would learn that night just how deep the hatred ran against them.

URGENT: Help Support Indigenous Ministries in Syria
On December 8, a 13-year civil war came to an end when Syrian rebels swept into Damascus and took control of the city, forcing President Bashar al-Assad and his family into exile. The rebels, with ties to jihadist Islam, stunned the world with the speed of their takeover, and as liberated political prisoners poured from jail cells, people celebrated in the streets. As Christians look toward the future under the leadership of Mohammed al-Bashir, Syria’s interim prime minister, they question whether the future will, in fact, be better.

Muslim Woman Rejects Religious Expectations in Turkey
The woman who sat in the back of the church caught the ministry leader’s attention as he preached to the congregation. She was alone, but her head was covered, an indication that she was a strict Muslim.

Transforming Uzbekistan One Believer at a Time
With her baby in her arms, Samiya (all names have been changed for security) welcomed people into her home for that day’s Bible study. Finally, when the last arrived, they sat together to study the Word of God. “These new believers are very happy to learn and understand the depth and richness of the Bible,” a local ministry leader said. “God continues to make Himself visible and move around this nation in this area.” Just one year prior, this village, located in one of the most remote, unreached parts of Uzbekistan, was as spiritually dry as its desert landscape. It wasn’t until a group of local missionaries began to pray for the people there that things started to change.

Attempted Murder of Christian Man Results in the Salvation of Many
A believer in the Middle East—persecuted and beaten into permanent disfigurement—knows what it is to love his enemies. With the assistance of a local ministry, he operates a restaurant in a strict Muslim area of his community, sharing the gospel with his customers in creative, though dangerous, ways. Though attempts on his life have been made, he knows the reward is worth the risk. He will not forsake the cross, no matter the cost.
