ARABIAN PENINSULA: Christian Man Struggles After Torture

Christian converts from Islam sometimes endure violent persecution in the Arabian Peninsula.

A Christian man now suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after being tortured for his faith.

Jonas left Islam and came to faith in Christ many years ago. When someone discovered his conversion and reported it to authorities, Jonas was immediately arrested, imprisoned and tortured repeatedly. When he was released, Jonas fled from the region as soon as he was able to and now lives in Europe. He is still tormented, however, by what he endured and suffers from PTSD. “He has been in his new country for several years,” said a Front-Line Worker, “but continues to struggle emotionally and needs healing in order to adjust to life in his adopted home country.”

• Pray for Jonas to receive the emotion healing he needs from the Lord.

• Pray for other Believers in the Arabian Peninsula who have experienced similar tings to Jonas, for their physical and emotional healing.

• Pray also that Believers would not be treated like this in the Arabian Peninsula, but that they would be free to Believe in Jesus Christ.
