Members of the Druze community attacked a Lebanese Druze family that had become followers of Christ. The beating was severe enough that the couple’s young son was hospitalized and they had to flee their home. “A friend had to find them and take them into hiding for their protection,” said a front-line worker. The Druze are a Middle Eastern people group who follow a unique religion with roots in Islam and mysticism. If a Druze person converts to Christianity, he or she may be met with hostility and violence from the Druze community. “Converts can lose everything — family, jobs, inheritance,” said the front-line worker. He asked for prayer that this family will heal from their physical and emotional wounds and that they will be able to find a safe place to live and work.<\/p>\n
