Syrian Christian Couple Flees Amid Threats

9/16/2021   Syria  (VOM)

Rama and Joseph have fled their home in Syria after threats from family due to their marriage. Rama is a former Muslim who now follows Christ, and Joseph is from a Christian background. When Rama’s family learned of their marriage, they complained to a police officer. The officer beat Joseph and warned him to stay away from Rama. The couple then escaped to a neighboring country that also does not recognize marriage between a woman who is legally considered to be Muslim and a man who is not a Muslim. Joseph and Rama have now applied for resettlement to a Western country.

Please pray…

• Pray for God’s peace in their hearts while Rama and Joseph wait for permission to emigrate.
• Pray for their resettlement application to be accepted so they can move to a country where their marriage is legally recognized and where they can start a family.
• Pray that the Lord will fill them with His peace and guide them clearly.
