Hope for a Martyr's Family

Big praise! You may remember that back in December 2010, we published a request in the prayer guide for a Filipino widow and her family. Her husband, a follower of Christ, was kidnapped by zealous Muslims intent on making him denounce his faith. When he refused to convert to Islam, they tortured him....and strangled him to death. 

After his death, his widow was forced to mortgage the family farm land. It was a terrible time for her and her four children. 

Because of money you gave, she has just been able to redeem back the land - all of it! Aided by our ministry partner in the Philippines, she was issued a legal document certifying her ownership on May 6, 2011. We are also sending funds to help her purchase rice seeds and fertilizer. She and her children will now be able to farm the land and generate income to support themselves from the rice harvest!

"Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he has redeemed from trouble!" - Psalm 107:2

Thank you for partnering with us to bring hope to this martyr’s family!

"Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful." --Hebrews 10:23
