Persecuted Church:  Abandoned by Husband, Supported by Body of Christ

Despite her suffering, a Christian woman is standing firm in her faith and discipling others as well. Lenna was raised as a Muslim in northern Benin. When she came to faith in Christ a few years ago, her Muslim husband abandoned her and her three children. Not long afterward, Lenna was in a motorcycle accident and lost her right hand and part of her arm. She then struggled to support herself and her children. After learning of her situation, VOM helped her start a small business selling basic food items. Lenna also uses her business for kingdom purposes. “She is full of joy and faith in Jesus,” said a front-line worker. “In her work at the shop, she is consistently sharing the gospel with other women.” Lenna is meeting with other persecuted women and discipling them in the Lord. The front-line worker added that VOM is currently working to provide Lenna with a prosthetic hand.

All long-term prayer requests (chronic illnesses) will remain active for one month. If you would like your request to continue, please update by contacting us here or via a connection card on Sunday.

 

Dear MBC community, Ensuring excellence in our communication is vital for a cohesive and impactful church identity. To uphold this standard, all public church communications will undergo a thoughtful review by our Communications department. This encompasses various platforms such as Enews, Website, social media, Praise and Prayer, and more. We appreciate your creativity and individuality in personal communications, yet on public platforms, we seek to maintain a consistent tone and quality. This oversight is a collective effort to present the best of MBC, supported by the insights of our dedicated Communications team and church leaders. Thank you for your understanding and collaboration in this endeavor.

Our Sunday service LiveStream is exclusively on our Channel.
