(bah-DEEN-ee) – As believers among the Behdini Kurds are few and persecution is an ever-present reality, trust among them can be hard to build. Praise God for His Spirit’s work to empower these believers to grow steadily in following God’s commands to love, serve, forgive, and believe the best of one another! Thank Him that they have been thinking of ideas of how to encourage one another and reach out to nonbelievers. Pray that God will strengthen them to take the initiative in carrying out these ideas, as it has not been something that they are used to doing.
