Believers serving with Every Home in a restricted nation share a story highlighting their innovative solution to a common problem: restrictions on Christian worship. In many nations where sharing the gospel is prohibited, activities associated with Christian worship—such as baptisms—are also restricted or illegal.
“A local couple from a Muslim background heard about our ministry and contacted us to be discipled and get baptized. They have seen Jesus in a vision, and that’s how they came to Christ. Every other local church refused to baptize them [because of the risk]. We welcomed them and trusted the Holy Spirit to lead us to do it in a safe, creative way. We ended up baptizing them in a mobile indoor pool that we purchased especially for this purpose, and they were immediately included in our Christ Groups. We asked for prayer about this, and your prayers were answered! Thank you!”
Pray for believers, especially those who have recently begun to follow Jesus. Pray that they would find Christian community and discipleship and that fear would not prevent them from participating in the life of the Church.
