Thursday 1 As Iraqi Christians look
ahead to the coming year, the future
must seem very uncertain. The
previous twelve months saw the
sudden rise of Islamic State (IS) and
its rapid seizing of territory causing
hundreds of thousands of Christians
to flee their homes to escape its brutal
anti-Christian rule. The homes they
were in last 1 January have now been
given to IS fighters, and realistically it
is doubtful that the Christians can ever
return to their ancestral lands. As they
wonder where they will be a year from
now, pray that they will cling to the
promises of Scripture and know that
the Lord your God will be with you
wherever you go (Joshua 1:9).

Wednesday 14 Benjamin, a
Cameroonian secret believer from
a Muslim background, was falsely
accused of being a member of
Boko Haram. The mans uncle had
discovered Benjamins conversion
and forced him out of his job as an
insurance agent, so Benjamin had fled
to live with his brother. Eventually
his brother noticed that Benjamin
would not join in Islamic prayers. Soon
after this, Benjamin was arrested by
Cameroonian soldiers, beaten, tortured
and imprisoned because of a tip-off
that he was a member of Boko Haram.

Friday 20 Christians in North Korea
are brutally punished, along with
their whole families, in the countrys
notorious labour camps. Although
little news of our suffering brothers
and sisters reaches the outside world,
our Heavenly Father knows what they
need (Matthew 6:32). Commit these
courageous believers into His hands.
