Muslim-Background Believers Fund
			Leaving Islam to follow Jesus can be a death sentence for many Muslims around the world. Heaven's Family is helping recently-converted Christians in Islamic nations relocate and escape death.

Muslim-Background Believers Fund

It is difficult to find a soft interpretation of the above-quoted texts from the Hadith—a record of the words and deeds of Mohammed, and regarded by Muslims as a source of divine truth that is second only to the Qur'an. It is thus taken literally by many Muslims. For that reason, in some nations, those who leave Islam fear for their lives. Many become secret disciples of Jesus, like Joseph of Arimathea (see John 19:38).

If secret believers are discovered, they are sometimes given three days to recant before being executed. One secret believer in a Muslim nation recently wrote,

They will often lock the believer in a room and starve him for three days. If he still won’t recant, he will be systematically beaten to prepare him to face the torture he will experience in hell for leaving Islam. His nails could be pulled out and his teeth knocked out. He can be tortured with a hot iron to help him understand the fires of hell awaiting him.

Jesus told His disciples to flee when they were persecuted (see Matt. 10:23). But many Muslim-background believers (MBBs) can't follow Jesus' instructions because they don't have the means. It's financially impossible for them to move far enough away to start life over again elsewhere. 

Heaven's Family cannot ignore the plight of our persecuted spiritual family. So we've begun to work in an Islamic nation to provide everything that Muslim-background believers need to preserve their lives, relocating them and helping them start over again.

There are thousands of our brothers and sisters living in Muslim nations who need our help. This kind of ministry falls under the category of, "I was a stranger, and you invited Me in." Jesus saved us. Now we can save Him.
