PRAYER REQUEST: update on African Christian imprisoned in North Africa
An African believer remains imprisoned in a North African country after mistakenly receiving Arabic language Christian materials. He does not speak or read Arabic.

 

 

Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ

 

In May last year we requested prayers for an unjust situation concerning an African believer in a North African country. In 2001 he wrote to a media ministry requesting Christian literature. He wrote in English, but the ministry saw his address and sent materials in Arabic. Our brother was arrested when he went to his PO Box to collect the materials. He does not speak or read Arabic.

 

We regret to report that he remains imprisoned. Efforts are continuing to secure his release.

 

Christians supporting this brother request our prayers that:

 

a.       Our brother will be released soon

b.      Until then he will know the presence and inner peace of Jesus in prison

c.       And that he will bring the presence of Jesus to fellow prisoners and prison staff

d.      Efforts to secure his release will be effective

e.       All officials involved will be exposed to the truth of Jesus and consider their response
