Blessed are you, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Matthew 5:11
VOM has a new article about a Somalian girl being beaten by her own family because she converted to Christianity. I was deeply sadden when I read this story. Nurta Mohamed Farah is only 17 years old and is being persecuted for accepting Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior. Her parents are convinced that she is mentally ill and believes that by reading the Quran to her it will make her well. They tie her to a tree during the day and at night they put her in a small dark room.
Please keep this young girl in your prayers. She is going through a lot of persecution and her faith might be in jeopardy. Please pray that the Lord gives her strength through this time of affliction and that He is gloried in her suffering.
Also remember to thank God that you live in a country that allows you to worship freely. Yes America has its many faults and our society is becoming more and more immoral by the minute. But we can still go to church on Sunday, worship in our homes and have the freedom to spread the Gospel.
