Ancient Faith Under Fire: Assyrian Christian Speaks on Persecution |

Описание: Welcome to the FIFTEENTH episode of our #DigitalBookClub! In this video, I sit down with Ashuriena Abraham from the Assyrian International Council to discuss the reality of Assyrian Christians, one of the oldest Christian communities in the world.

✝️ Assyrian Christians trace their faith back to the earliest days of the Church, yet today, many face persecution, displacement, and cultural erasure.

🌍 This conversation sheds light on a story that is often overlooked: the resilience, history, and faith of Assyrian believers.

We explore:
How persecution is on expected part of the Christian faith
The rise of Islam and the Jihad ideology
Joy in the midst of suffering
The history of Assyrian Christians and the present-day persecution of their community

This video is a call to awareness, prayer, and unity.

What is 'The True Church'?

The True Church book and digtal series seeks to bring the Church into a deeper understanding of her calling as the Bride of Christ, forsaking the preferences we may have for what the Lord says should be our priorities. It’s a space created for Spirit-led ecumenical discussions on different biblical principles and the contemporary realities of the Church. The focus of either does not lie on theological dissensions, or the best style of worship or prayer, but on the beauty found within all churches and how unifying our understanding of Jesus could paint a better picture for the world at large. The ‘true Church’ is His Church. Jesus revealed, Jesus glorified.

Please join us as we journey together to learn more about our responsibility as those who bear the Name of Jesus Christ and as those called to represent Him in fullness. We’d love to hear how the Word is communicated to you so please do not hesitate to get involved in the discussion! Only warning: speak the truth in love (Ephesians 4:15).

All our welcome whether you are a believer or just want to hear more about Christ and His Church. We love you and pray that this platform encourages you to get to know Him more.

May the Lord bless you and keep you,
May He cause His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you,
May the Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you His perfect peace

I love you, God Bless you, Bye!
