International Christian Concern: Persecution May Edition: Seeking Refuge

To say No to the mark of the beast is to say:
(And not to hate them!)

No, to two states in the Land. Not to give a big part to the these 'Chaldean'.
The world shall pay a big 'prize' for that! Receive judgement!

No, to all the laws that go's against the commandments of Abba YHWH. No choice than to say No to Shariah law.

Not to look to the other side or to say, its Peace, when they try to put shariah law in your country.

But to say Yes to Abba YHWH and His Laws special in this time when Abba YHWH is 'testing' us:

Hab 1:12 Are You not from everlasting, O יהוה my Elohim, my Set-apart One? You do not die! O יהוה, You have appointed them for right-ruling, O Rock, You have established them for reproof.

But please listen to Abba YHWH,

Deu 18:15 “יהוה your Elohim shall raise up for you a Prophet like me from your midst, from your brothers. Listen to Him,

Deu 18:16 according to all you asked of יהוה your Elohim in Ḥorĕḇ in the day of the assembly, saying, ‘Let me not hear again the voice of יהוה my Elohim, nor let me see this great fire any more, lest I die.’

Deu 18:17 “And יהוה said to me, ‘What they have spoken is good.

Deu 18:18 ‘I shall raise up for them a Prophet like you out of the midst of their brothers. And I shall put My Words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him.

Deu 18:19 ‘And it shall be, the man who does not listen to My Words which He speaks in My Name, I require it of him.

Rabbeinu Yeshuah said: Joh 8:28 So יהושע said to them, “When you lift up the Son of Adam, then you shall know that I am He (Ani Hu), and that I do none at all of Myself, but as My Father taught Me, these words I speak.

Letter from the President
Persecution, April 2012

Dear Friend,

Your daughter has been abducted. The police find her and invite you to the station to see her.

She comes into the police investigation room accompanied by four Muslim radicals and is shrouded head to toe in a burka.

You try to comfort her, but she will not speak a word in your presence. They tell you she is a Muslim now. Her kidnappers and the police are in collusion. She is struck in the face in front of you-a reminder to stay in line and not to speak up.

After this short meeting, she is stolen away again by the police and the radical Muslims. You will never see her again. Tragically, this is not a nightmare that either of you will awaken from.

Unfortunately, it is a familiar story to us at ICC. It happens on a regular basis to the parents of daughters in Egypt. That's right-the "tolerant" and "moderate" Muslim country of Egypt. For this reason, Coptic Christians in Egypt have begun tattooing a cross on their babies' wrists so that even if they are taken, they will always know where they came from.

This story breaks my heart and I know it will break yours as well. It is incredibly frustrating to me that ICC and other organizations can do nothing to help these parents who suffer the worst pain a human being could go through; not to mention the girls who are abducted and raped, never to return to their former lives.

For now, we just ask you to pray for the abducted girls and their families. For 700 years, Christians in Egypt have suffered. It is mind-boggling when you think about what they have endured.

Please join us in caring for them, bandaging their wounds, and bringing the Gospel into this incredibly dark place. We will use your gifts ethically, efficiently, and effectively. . . .

I promise!

Lost and Taken

The most horrific news to a parent is that your child has gone missing. Read Anwar and Magda's story of finding their daughter, and then losing her to Egypt's Islamic radicals.
