LISTEN NOW: A Pastor Says the Church in Gaza Is “Between Two Fires”
|
||||||||
| Pastor Hanna Massad has served the Lord in the face of intense Christian persecution. He has been threatened; the Bible Society where his wife worked was bombed; and a coworker was martyred. Yet he calls it an honor and a privilege to serve the Lord in such circumstances. Hanna Massad is the former pastor of Gaza Baptist Church, and his wife, Suhad, led the Bible Society in Gaza. Pastor Hanna still gets emotional thinking back to the day when Rami Ayyad, who worked for the Bible Society, was kidnapped and later killed. Speaking of his martyred friend, Hanna says, “Rami had a wonderful heart. He loved the Lord, and his dedication to the Lord, his family and the community are wonderful memories, despite the pain and suffering.” Listen as Hanna shares the story of how he came to faith in Christ and faced pressure for being identified as a Christian in Gaza, where he says Christians live “between two fires.” He goes on to explain some of the challenges of church ministry in such a setting and how God uses persecution and struggle to build our faith. “Our faith will not be tested when everything is going fine,” he said.
