ICC Note:

According to a 2008 national census, over 85% of the population in Liberia is Christian.  Only 12.2% of the population is Muslim. However living in a predominantly Christian country offers little protection for newly converted Christians who are persecuted by their Muslim families and neighbors. We pray for the safety of these new Christians and also for their new faith in Christ; that they are able to hold on and cling to his promises as they are cast out by their community. 

11/02/2016 Liberia ( Voice of the Martyrs) – Seventeen Liberian believers are facing persecution from their families after their conversion from Islam to Christianity. They have been threatened, beaten and ordered to stop attending church and listening to Christian music, and many have fled to nearby villages for safety.

The young believers placed their faith in Christ after hearing the Gospel from visiting Christian pastors, who also gave each of them a pocket-sized Bible. Although they were initially afraid to listen to the pastors for fear of persecution, they continued visiting with them and other believers at night. Eventually, the new Christians’ relatives noticed they had stopped attending the mosque and learned of their conversion to Christianity.
