Today is Friday, July 25th, 2014; Karen's Korner #2865

Below is something emailed to me yesterday by Melanie Maasdam. She was overjoyed (as we all are!) with the news that Mariam Ibrahim was released from prison by her captures. Her only offense was that of being a Christian:  her death sentence would be overturned, if she just renounced her Christian faith. She refused!


"REJOICE with me at the news this morning that Mariam Ibrahim and her family have flown out of Sudan and have gone to Italy.

"Mariam was in prison for converting to Christianity and sentenced to 100 lashes and then hanging. She and her 18 month old son were imprisoned and she also gave birth to their second child in prison. Her husband is an American.

"I am overjoyed at this work of God thru prayer and petition. Thank you for praying for this family.

"What a God we serve! Thank you LORD!"


Lord, thank You for Your love and care for all of Your Children. There are so many 'Mariams' around the world who are being mistreated, moving as refugees to other countries, or are being abused or killed in so many places! Be with each one who are identified as one of Your Followers; protect them! May Your Holy Spirit be evident to the whole world, as they/we stand up for our faith in You! Nothing escapes Your Attention or Your Love. For that we praise and thank You. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
