A VOM worker recently met secretly with two Palestinian Christians, encouraging them and providing some practical assistance. Without knowing who he was meeting with, one brought a book that had greatly encouraged him: an Arabic version of Tortured for Christ.
The two men lead separate house churches in their areas of the West Bank. They have both lost jobs and family members because of their new beliefs.
“God wishes for all my people to come out of the darkness into the light,” says one. Through the peace of Christ, they are able to endure weekly interrogation by Palestinian authority agents.
One brother has been enduring these interrogations every week for more than two years.
