It’s rare when we’re able to tell you about believers in Saudi Arabia. We know a growing population of new Christians have left Islam to follow Jesus in the closed country, but the danger is so high for our Saudi family that we usually can’t talk about them.
So, when our field alerted us to Adam’s* story, we took notice. Adam is a husband to Hope*, a father of two sons and a passionate believer who lives in Saudi Arabia. After he became a Christian, his wife’s Muslim family levied false charges against him in a veiled attempt to imprison him.
Adam recently stood before a judge who fined him the equivalent of $80,000. Our field tells us he will go to prison for an uncertain amount of time if he is unable to pay the fine.
This brother is asking for encouragement from other Christians like you who understand the power of God to bring strength, healing and peace. We have an exclusive opportunity to write to this family and let them know they’re not alone.
Adam’s faith has inspired my faith. He not only believes in Jesus as His Savior; he also truly follows Him.
In Saudi Arabia—No. 14 on the World Watch List of most dangerous countries for Christians—Adam has left behind Bibles in mosques and shares openly with his Muslim friends. Previously, he was arrested for importing Bibles and endured a “sentence” of 40 lashes.
I hope you’ll take a few minutes and encourage Adam, Hope and their two sons. He has already received several messages and shared with us how much they’ve meant to him.
I’ll leave you with this modern-day Paul's prayer for you:
“Beloved Jesus, come and fill us with Your goodness and power. Touch our eyes, make us see ourselves as You see us. Let us see You in the people around us. We will not be afraid because Your love for us does not diminish with torment, does not end or change, but always triumphs.”

The following request applies to any of the christian ministries that are currently getting visitors from my blog:
I am currently blogging: https://webmaster220.blogspot.com I would like to place a banner on the right side of my home page that promotes your ministry If I do that and it helps your ministry grow and expand do you have a suggestion as to what type of commission or contribution could be paid to my ministry. The reason I am saying that is there are a lot of ministries out there that are buying advertising space online and yours could be one of them for all I know. I have been an affiliate marketer for years on my blog but no commissions have ever been earned even though I am doing everything required to be done to earn the commissions. My blog readers are just not interested in spending any money on any of the goods or services discussed in my banner ads and text links. To reply, use the contact form below this paragraph Thanks, Rick Livermore - Webmaster220
