Despite difficult circumstances, a group of believers decided that they would follow the Most High God, no matter the cost. Their walk with the Father has been tested over and over. It’s a daily battle due to peer pressure, job loss, separation from their families, loss of their homes, and ongoing persecution, yet they still meet weekly and exhibit boldness in sharing the Good News with others. A worker visited the home of the family where this house church meets. Before arriving at the home, he noticed some signs with verses on them. All along the top of the wire fence, the house church had placed verses telling about God’s love for people. This public display is not only meant as an encouragement for followers, but also for those who have yet to believe. Each time people walk by this fence--strategically located on the only road into and out of that area--they see the words of the Most High God. As a result of these signs, some people have made inquiries and others have placed their trust in the living God.  Saudi Arabia has passed a new terrorism law that will treat non-believers in Islam as enemies of the state. According to Yahoo News Networks online, this includes “atheist thought in any form, or calling into question the fundamentals of the Islamic religion on which this country is based.” This has serious ramifications for those professing or considering the claims of Jesus, as they can now be tried and convicted of terrorism, and Saudi Arabia’s laws on terrorism are very tough.  * Please pray for those who want to follow Jesus but are afraid to do so.  * Ask the Father to give believers who are living in difficult locations strength and endurance as they face difficulties. * Thank God for the boldness of these followers who are not ashamed of the Gospel.
