Ahmed is a secret believer from Saudi Arabia. In this strict Islamic kingdom fasting is expected from all Saudis during Ramadan. Even foreigners with other religious backgrounds are not allowed to eat or drink in public during Ramadan. Doing so is seen as provocative and disrespectful.For Ahmed, who recently became a Christian, Ramadan is just a ‘cultural event now’. If possible, he tries to avoid visiting mosques to pray altogether. This isn’t a great risk, since there are millions of Saudis who don’t worship in them regularly. However, sometimes it is inevitable, so Ahmed secretly prays to Jesus while performing the rituals.Before he became a Christian he was a student of Islam. Because of this religious knowledge his family, who do not know about his new faith, often ask him to lead their daily prayers when he is at home. He says the situation makes him ‘uncomfortable and awkward’ but the risk of declining is too great.Pray today for secret Christians like Ahmed. Pray for strength during the next few weeks and ask that they will be able to show God’ s love in incredible and amazing ways! -- source link
