Middle Eastern Arabs in the Southern United Kingdom

Rima put her Hindu prayer altar into the closet after her brother unexpectedly died. She was angry and confused by the gods. Her neighbor, Amina, who had recently turned from Islam to Christianity, invited her to her house for coffee. Amina poured the coffee, listened patiently, and cared deeply for her grieving friend. She did not give her friend advice, and she didn’t become uncomfortable with Rima’s expression of heavy emotions. Amina allowed Rima to sit and rest in her grief. At the end of the visit, Amina prayed for Rima in the name of Jesus. Immediately, Rima felt a peace that she had never experienced before. Will you pray that Rima will fully understand the peace that comes from trusting in Jesus? “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid” (John 14:27 ESV).
