Praying through the Arabian Peninsula

A refugee lady, “N,” from an Islamic country in Africa, was introduced to some Christian workers. She wanted to become a Christian. After watching the Jesus film in her language, she said that she had understood everything. One of the Christians led her in prayer and “N” agreed joyfully. Her next question was: “Can I have a written certificate that says that I am a Christian? Then I can go to Europe or America.” This is so typical for many thousands of refugee women. She has no family, no husband, two little children, no help or hope for a better situation and is helpless in the face of abuse--and probably disappointed by Islam. Pray that this woman will understand what real Christianity is. Ask that her needs will be met.

Update on last year’s kidnapping in Yemen:
Five Germans, including three children, and a British national who have been held by kidnappers in Yemen for the past six months are still alive, a top official said recently. "We have confirmed information that they are still alive," the deputy prime minister for defense and security affairs, Rashad al-Aleemi, told a press conference. "It is believed that the three children, who were shown in a recent video, are alive in Maarib, while the elders are being used by the Huthis (to provide) medical treatment," Aleemi said. The three children were seen in a new video two weeks ago, but the footage featured no sign of their parents. All were kidnapped in June.

German officials who requested anonymity had confirmed a report saying the images, apparently recorded recently, indicated at least that the three children aged one, three and five were still alive. "The children seemed exhausted," a high-ranking German official was quoted by the newspaper as saying.
