Like many Bangladeshi Christians in the months since the August 2024 overthrow of the government, Arif has faced increased pressure from Muslim extremist groups because of his faith in Christ. Witnessing this, Arif’s brothers, who are still Muslim, have declared their support for him and their opposition to the Muslim clerics who have harassed Arif.
Pray for Arif to stand firm in the truth of 2 Corinthians 4:17–18, verses he shared with Front-Line Workers: “For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.”
Pray also that Arif’s brothers, and all Muslims who are disillusioned by Islam because of extremist violence, will find peace and comfort in Jesus Christ.
