Status of the Persecuted Church in the Netherlands
January 15, 2010
Muslim population: 5.8% (Christian population: 50%
Those who criticize Islam in the Netherlands may face a severe backlash, including death-threats or even attempts on their lives.  Converts from Islam live in equally grave danger.  Recently one immigrant was knifed by a Muslim countryman -- simply because of his newfound faith in Jesus Christ.

Former Muslim knifed in the Netherlands

January 28, 2009

One Iraqi immigrant recently knifed another in the Netherlands.  The attacker was Muslim; the victim was a former Muslim, a convert to Christianity.  Similar assaults have taken place in other Dutch cities. 

Pray that God will protect and watch over converts from Islam in the Netherlands, as well as those who reach out to Muslims with the Gospel.  "Then the nations that are left all around you shall know that I am the LORD."

Arson strikes Netherlands Church

January 16, 2009

Four Muslim teenagers were arrested on suspicion of firebombing a church building in the Netherlands.  The church's entry area was apparently damaged by a Molotov cocktail. 

Pray that Christians will forgive these young Muslims and reach out to them with the love of the Savior. "None of the sins that he has committed shall be remembered against him."
