On February 10, Muslin Christian converts, Jemmal Abdo and his wife,
were beaten and chased out from a mosque where they both worked in the
capital city of Addis Ababa. According to The Voice of the Martyrs
contacts, "Jemmal and his wife accepted Christ two months ago. Soon
after their conversion Jemmal's friend saw him talking with Christians
and told the imam of the mosque. Jemmal and his wife were interrogated
in the mosque during a meeting called by Muslim leaders in an attempt
to persuade the couple to recant their faith. The couple refused to do
so, even after the leaders offered them higher positions and salaries
if they denied Christ. The couple was beaten and dragged out of the
mosque." Jemmal and his wife were able to flee to a new location for
safety. Pray for the speedy recovery for Jemmal and his wife, who were
injured in the attack. Ask God to strengthen them and provide for them
as they stand strong in their new found faith in Jesus Christ. Isaiah 54:17
