Most keep their faith a secret as there have been several hostile situations against Christians. Concerned of being discovered, or being publicly exposed, they are cautious. Fortunately contact with foreigners is possible. A person who works in the country recently shared his thoughts: โMost believers in Yemen are first-generation Christians. This means that their family and clan are Muslim. The tribe is the most important relationship a person can have. Its laws and traditions are more important than government rules. If there is a dispute inside a tribe or clan, the government will typically not intervene. Caution, and keeping a low profile, is part of daily life for a Yemeni Christian. โOver the past few years we have seen and heard reports about both local believers, as well as foreigners being kidnapped or even killed. For foreigners, they are generally deported by the government. Muslim Background Believers (MBB) on the other hand can be โdealt withโ within their own tribe. In that sense, the tension for MBBs is very high. Family and extremist groups threaten apostates with death when they do not come back to Islam. Evangelism is prohibited, but there is some religious freedom granted by the government.โ One With Them For Yemeni Christians, being set apart for Christ is a journey down a difficult path. Please pray for encouragement and strength as you stand One With Them during Ramadan. Tensions often run higher during this time, but also many are seeking the truth, pray for Jesus to reveal Himself to all Tunisians, drawing them to the great I Am. 2013.07.22 โโ๐๐๐ง๐ฎ ๐ฉ๐ง๐ช๐ก๐ฎ ๐ ๐ฉ๐๐ก๐ก ๐ฎ๐ค๐ช,โ ๐ ๐๐จ๐ช๐จ ๐๐ฃ๐จ๐ฌ๐๐ง๐๐, โ๐๐๐๐ค๐ง๐ ๐ผ๐๐ง๐๐๐๐ข ๐ฌ๐๐จ ๐๐ค๐ง๐ฃ, ๐ ๐๐ข!โโ (๐ ๐ค๐๐ฃ ๐ด:๐ฑ๐ด)
