Summary

"Even if you take my life here in front of my wife…I will not deny Christ." The Iraqi Christian stood at an ISIS check point. The fighters' guns were pointed at him. Their instruction was clear: deny your faith and become a Muslim. He said no, and miraculously God intervened and our Iraqi brother lived to tell the story. This is just one of the stories that Joe, a VOM international worker, will share this week on VOM Radio after returning from a recent trip to the Middle East. He'll also tell how VOM helps displaced Christians from Iraq and Syria forced from their homes by the Islamic State. We'll also learn how Muslim converts face persecution right here in the United States, and how your church can engage with Muslim immigrants and refugees in your city.
