More Christians arrested in Saudi Arabia raid.

July 2, 2006

Topping today's news, little is known about the fate of 
four African Christians arrested in a Saudi Arabian police 
raid a month ago. Officers raided a private worship 
gathering in Jeddah. Voice of the Martyrs Canada's Greg 
Musselman: "We don't even know if there were people from 
outside of the Christian community that were there, but 
somebody, somewhere, reported them and then, as a result of 
that, they were arrested. What happens, often, is that 
these people that have come to find work, that are 
Christians, have a heart to evangelize in a very low-key 
way, because that's really the only way that evangelism 
takes place in a country like Saudi Arabia." Musselman says 
the Saudi government insist that Christians are free to 
worship within their own homes. As evidenced by these 
arrests, that's not always the case. "I think we need to be 
praying that our brothers and sisters in Christ that are 
trying to the bring the Gospel to the Saudi people, that 
they would continue to be strong and not fearful. [Pray] 
also for the Christians that have come out of Islam. Many 
of them are having to be very, very low-key."
