This week, a fire ripped through the Kutupalong refugee camp of Cox’s Bazar district, Bangladesh, burning nearly 3,000 huts and displacing about 12,000 Rohingya people. No casualties were reported this time, but devastating fires are common among the makeshift shacks stacked together in this and other refugee camps. The estimated 1 million stateless Rohingya shelteringContinue reading “Fire in Rohingya Huts, but also in Many Hearts”

Miracles in the Earthquake
The death toll in southern Turkey and northern Syria from the February 6 earthquake is now upwards of 44,000. On Tuesday, rescuers freed nine more survivors from their rubble prisons. But now that it’s been well over a week, finding anyone alive is a miracle. Today, I feel the Lord leading us to focus ourContinue reading “Miracles in the Earthquake”
Extremist Meets Jesus in a Vision
Over the past few weeks, we’ve shared story after story of persecuted and martyred Christians, usually at the hands of Muslim extremists. Converts from Islam and those who help them to faith are in the greatest danger, especially in Africa, where more than 90% of the world’s Christian martyrs last year took their last earthlyContinue reading “Extremist Meets Jesus in a Vision”
Myanmar: Miracle Turns Buddhist to Christ
Buddhist extremists have long persecuted Christians in Myanmar, often quite violently. Gawa (not her real name), a staunch Buddhist, also grew up hating Christians, even though many in her tribe had come to Christ. When she became paralyzed, her parents took her to Buddhist monks, offering expensive sacrifices for her healing. When that didn’t work,Continue reading “Myanmar: Miracle Turns Buddhist to Christ”
Stories from Syria: A Dream of Jesus
Here at the Prayer Wall, as we pray for the Middle East, we often pray for Jesus to meet Muslims in their dreams, because that is one of the main ways they are coming to faith without access to the Gospel. This week, a missionary friend shared with me this story about a Syrian womanContinue reading “Stories from Syria: A Dream of Jesus”
Stories from Syria: Tortured Like Jesus
Altair (not his real name) endured excruciating torture at the hands of Syrian forces for many months as they sought information on his brother fighting in the resistance army — information Altair did not have. At some point in his life, he had seen the Jesus Film, and as they stretched his arms out likeContinue reading “Stories from Syria: Tortured Like Jesus”
Stories from Syria: “Jesus Saved My Life”
This update on Syria is from Open Doors’ 2022 World Watchlist: “Violence against Christians decreased in Syria, which is news worth celebrating. And yet … even though the public threat of ISIS has largely subsided, Christians in Syria still grapple with daily persecution that may become violent. … Where extremists control territory, any public expressionContinue reading “Stories from Syria: “Jesus Saved My Life””
Hundreds Turn to Christ in Myanmar
Since a military coup in Myanmar early last year, thousands of innocent people have died, many of those Christians. Fighting in the mostly Christian Chin State has left countless families homeless and hiding in the jungles, their villages burned, and dozens of churches ransacked, shelled and occupied. Baptist pastor Cung Biak Hum was gunned downContinue reading “Hundreds Turn to Christ in Myanmar”
Angel, Miracles in Cuba
Next to Havana’s historic Hotel Saratoga, where an apparent gas explosion killed at least 46 and injured more than 90 on May 6th, a historic Baptist church also was destroyed in the blast. Praise God, of the 15 adults and three children present, none were killed or harmed. “One man left three children in theContinue reading “Angel, Miracles in Cuba”
