RIDGECREST, NC: Sudanese Anglican Priest Tortured for his Faith in Saudi Arabia

The Rev. Michael Yemba, 45, knows what it means to suffer for his faith.

In a country wracked by civil strife, he left his home in the southern Sudan and at the age of 25 went to work in Saudi Arabia as an office manager for an English firm.

As an Anglican Christian with a profound faith in Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord, Yemba took his Bible and Prayer Book with him.

It was the first rude awakening for the young African Christian when police at the airport confiscated his Bible and Prayer Book. Tolerance for his religious beliefs he quickly learned were nil in this strictly Muslim country.

At the airport they confiscated his Bible and Prayer Book, told him there were no Christian churches in Saudi Arabia and that he was not allowed to speak about Jesus, nor was he allowed to wish anyone a Merry Christmas and no bibles were allowed or permitted in the country.

The authorities made it clear to him that Saudi Arabia was under the Shari'a Law of Islam. No exceptions. No bibles, no public or private worship of his God would be tolerated or permitted. He could convert to Islam, but he would not be permitted to practice his Christian faith in a Muslim country.
