Bibles for Mideast pastor and family hospitalized after brutal attack

Pastor Surcaf, the missionary pastor with Bibles for Mideast who played a key role in our last post now desperately, along with his family, needs the prayers of God’s people.

As we told you in that last post, Pastor Surcaf had prayed for the healing and deliverance of a Muslim man named Bachu, with miraculous results (you can read the story here: Freedom and recovery from both a brain tumor and Islam!).

Bachu had been a key leader in his local mosque, but after his healing and conversion, had quit that position. A few days later, he and his family had taken part in three days of prayer and fasting at the ALG Church of Bibles for Mideast under the leadership of Pastor Surcaf. Then, last Sunday, Bachu and his wife received baptism and attended the church’s Sunday service.

That, however, proved just too much for the congregation of the local mosque, who considered it a tremendous attack towards the mosque and Muslims in general. So they intended to finish off Pastor Surcaf, his family and his home. The night before last, a group of a dozen or more angry Muslim fundamentalists brutally attacked Pastor Surcaf, his wife and four children, as well as set their house ablaze. The family members are now all in hospital with serious injuries, their home a burnt wreck.

Pastor Surcaf’s tiny congregation are praying and doing what they can to assist the hospitalized family. Please join us in prayer for all of them.
