Pray!!!


Our prayers are needed for this mother (Meriam Yahia Ibrahim),who was arrested in Sudan for defending her Christian faith.Her father was a muslim, and her mother was an Ethiopian christian who brought her up as a christian. She became a doctor, and married an African American man who is a paraplegic. She has a 2 year old son, and just had a baby in prison. She has been tried in court and was given three days to renounce her faith  but she holds true to Jesus Christ as her strength.She is sentenced to death in two years after the baby is weaned. After six weeks of recovery from the delivery of her baby girl, she is going to receive 100 lashes for marrying a Christian man, which is considered adultery in the muslim faith. Our prayers are needed in a huge way for this mother, who sits in shackles in a prison with her two children. Pray for courage, peace, and comfort, that God's peace would be with her, and that His grace would be her strength. We need to pray that if it is God's will that she dies that her courage would be a witness to the muslims. And if she would be released, then to God's glory!
