Pray God's Protection on The Afghan Man Who Refused To Deny Christ (after Converting From Islam), and Others Like Him --- Editor's UPDATE - This man has been "rescued from death" by Americans, flown to Rome, and "dumped" there, where he was "presumably" safe from prosecution! - 10/14/10

Abdul Rahman, 41, faces death because he converted from Islam to Christianity and refuses to convert back to Islam.

His family accused him of being a Christian. During his trial last Thursday in Kabul, Rahman confessed that he converted from Islam to Christianity 16 years ago while working as a medical aid worker for an international Christian group helping Afghan refugees in the Pakistani city of Peshawar.

"We are not against any particular religion in the world. But in Afghanistan, this sort of thing is against the law. It is an attack on Islam," Judge Ansarullah Mawlavezada said

The prosecutor, Abdul Wasi, said he offered to drop the charges if Mr. Rahman converted back to Islam, but Rahman refused. "He would have been forgiven if he changed back. But he said he was a Christian and would always remain one. We are Muslims, and becoming a Christian is against our laws. He must get the death penalty," Wasi said.

Please pray that God will protect this Christian man and the many other Christians everywhere under persecution, millions persecuted, and hundreds martyred daily. It has be calculated by students of the subject that well over 400 martyrs are killed EVERY DAY worldwide because of their faith. Persecution and martyrdom is especially bad in China, Indonesia, India, and in most all of the Muslim dominated countries.
