Lebanon - Martyr's Widow Begins Cancer Treatment

Source: iCommitToPray

Lebanon was flooded with Syrian refugees like
these boys during its civil war. Some
refugees also fled religious persecution.

A Christian refugee whose husband was killed by his family for converting to Christianity has been diagnosed with cancer. Nour became a widow after her Syrian husband’s father and brother attacked and murdered him upon learning he had come to faith in Christ. They also attacked Nour, but she survived and fled to Lebanon with her three young children. They lived in cemeteries for nine days until local Christians found and helped them. Nour has since learned that she has cancer and has begun treatment. 

“Pray for her and her children,” said a front-line worker. 

“Pray that she will survive this health scare and also that she and her children will receive the comfort and support they need to heal emotionally as well.”

Praise God that many Muslim refugees in Lebanon have placed their faith in Christ and are active in local churches.

Pray that Christian converts from Islam will inspire their family members to follow Christ too.

Pray for front-line workers who proclaim the gospel in a dangerous, conflict-ridden environment.
