Cliffside Dwellers of Northern Africa

Samad started taking care of sheep to provide for his family. The sheep are doing well, but his family is not. They found out about his faith in Jesus, and his wife told her brother, who started making big problems for him. Samad was sharply warned to return to his old religion, but he refused. Then they told him that if he didn’t recant, they would make him leave his family’s home, leaving his wife and children behind. He doesn’t want to do that! And just as much, he doesn’t want to turn his back on his faith. For now, he’s still at home with his family, but the brother-in-law is still pushing him to leave to save the family’s honor. How can he leave his family? Who will provide for them? Will they be neglected or outcast because of his faith? Pray that Samad will stand strong in his faith. He loves his family and wants to take care of them. He also wants them to know the truth about who Jesus is. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal Himself to this family. Pray that Samad will have wisdom and discernment to know what God wants him to do.
