New Believer Threatened by Family

[175] prayers in [9] nations have been posted for Jordanian Christian.

A Jordanian Christian has received death threats since coming to faith in Christ. While undergoing training to become an imam [an Islamic religious leader], the man placed his trust in Christ. His conversion angered members of his family, who have threatened his life if he doesn’t successfully complete his training and move to a Gulf state to take up an Islamic post. “Your head will be on the street,” one of his family members told him. Front-line workers have requested prayer for the new believer as they determine how to best serve him. Jordan is a majority-Muslim nation, and only 2 percent of its population are Christians. In addition to facing severe family pressure, Christian converts in Jordan can also be persecuted, sometimes violently, by their tribes and local communities.
