ARABIAN PENINSULA: Christian Attacked on Street



Bassam has been attacked by people angered that he left Islam, but their outrage doesn’t deter him from sharing his faith. “He is not afraid to tell people that his life has been changed by Christ, and that has put a target on his back,” said a Front-Line Worker. Bassam was walking through a dim alley when he felt compelled to move toward a main street with more light. Just as he reached the main road, two men wearing black masks attacked him with a wooden rod, swinging it at his head. Bassam blocked the strike, but the rod broke his arm. “He believes the attack was a part of the cost of being a Christ follower,” said the Front-Line Worker. “He is thankful that the Lord spoke to him. If he had stayed in the alley, he might have been seriously hurt or even killed.” The worker added that Bassam requests prayer for his protection and that he will be an effective witness for Christ.
