Persecutions against Christians continue in the Islamic nation of Sudan, which last year sentenced a woman to death for marrying an American Christian. The Christian Post reports that now pastors Yat Michael and David Yein face possible execution for their boldness in preaching their Christian faith.
The two pastors, accused of spying and offending Islamic beliefs, have been imprisoned for two months with no contact with their families in the capital city of Khartoum, where numerous Christian churches have recently been desecrated.
Told he preaches with a hidden agenda, Pastor Michael replied, “I don’t have any hidden agenda … I am preaching because this is my call. I am a pastor. I must speak the Word of God.”
Rev. Tut Kony of the South Sudan Presbyterian Evangelical Church of which Michael is also a pastor noted that such persecutions are common, and that most of their pastors have been beaten and imprisoned and their churches destroyed. David Curry, CEO of Open Doors USA which aids persecuted Christians throughout the world, stated that the charges against Michael and Yein are especially inflated, but that the Sudanese government will take any measures to remove Christianity from the daily lives of its citizens.
Despite the threats and persecutions, the pastors have boldly stated that they are ready to face any punishment for spreading the Gospel. Pastor Yein has asked that believers pray that their suffering would be for the glory of God and for peace between the pastors and their persecutors.

Thanks for continuing to post these stories. It’s terrible that muslims kill others who insult or disagree with their religion.

Mohammed (Islam’s “Prophet” of Hate, Allah (Islam’s “God” of Hate), and the Qur’an (Islam’s “Holy Book” of Hate), ARE the MOST PERVERSE and HATEFUL Teachings on the Entire Planet.
Islam and Muslims attempt to point to the Christian Bible as also having such Teachings, however the difference is in how they Practice their Belief’s, and Christians do NOT Practice those Teachings in today’s World, BUT Islam and Muslims DO, and have been doing so since about the 7th Century, in FACT Islam and Muslims are NOW even OPENLY BOASTING about their Bloody “Death to the Infidel” Butchery, and seem quite PROUD of it.
Islam and Muslims “Deceivingly” call their” Ideology the “Religion of Peace”, HOWEVER Islam has actually DEMONSTRATED to the World an example, through Islam’s OWN WELL DOCUMENTED Actions and Deeds, and has actually PROVEN Islam to really be the “Religion of HATE”.
Islam has indeed proven that is is NOT really a “Religion”, and uses the Term “Religion” ONLY to take Advantage of the “Religious Freedom” Laws of Free Countries, but Islam’s Goals ARE really World Domination, Acquisition of Territory, and FORCED Imposition of Islam’s “Cult” Beliefs – obtained through Islam’s Taqiyya and Kitman “Lying and Deception” IF Possible, but through Bloody DEATH to the Infidel “Unbeliever” if NOT Possible

These men have been abducted for speaking the truth. How much truth did Mohammad “THE PROPHET” speak?
For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:
” Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men!”
The above verse is one prophecy that Jesus fulfilled. ONE, out of hundreds!
How many did “THE PROPHET” fulfill?
Yet the world follows his lies….

Pastors Yat Michael and David Yein are leading Prisoners of Conscience. They are taking a stand on our behalf, advocating for our freedom and are paying for it with their own lives.
