"Tunisia has a rich Christian history. It was the home of notable church fathers Tertullian and Cyprian as well as the Christian martyrs Perpetua and Felicity. The third Council of Carthage ratified the New Testament canon in Tunisia in A.D. 397. However, there are now few churches or Christians in Tunisia. Since the Arab Spring uprising, which began in Tunisia, the country has grown increasingly democratic; the Tunisian government became the first in North Africa to enact religious-freedom reforms. But even with a rich Christian history and increased religious freedom, the gospel is opposed by man.
Although the government has begun to implement certain religious-freedom reforms, change will take time in a Tunisian culture that has long been dominated by Islam. Some churches function openly, and Christian converts from Islam are free to worship in them, but open evangelism remains illegal. And while it is illegal for families to persecute their family members who leave Islam, such persecution still happens, and local governments still harass Christians. In rural areas, more severe persecution continues, as Muslim families feel shamed by family members who leave Islam." Via: Voice of the Martyrs
Way to pray: Please pray that God will bring more front-line workers to Tunisia! Workers there specifically mention the need for more women leaders.
Jasmine moved all over the US while growing up, and it was during her high school and college years attending Fellowship Greenville where she grew in her faith and identified her love for Asian students and culture. Her family hosted many Asian international students over the years, and after her first trip to East Asia, she made it her goal to move there. It was after volunteering with Cru and their international student ministry, Bridges, that she was led to move to Asia to introduce people to Jesus. In August 2019, after many study abroad trips to Asia, she moved there as a missionary intern. When the COVID-19 pandemic broke out unexpectedly, she was forced to move back to the States. Eventually, Jasmine found herself serving alongside Thai mission workers in Southern Thailand. In a nation that is less than 1% Christian and has many people who have never heard the Gospel, she saw that it was God who led her there, and God who wanted her to stay. There she serves on college campuses sharing about Jesus with Thai students, assisting the local church, helping lead short-term mission trips, and discipling believing students.
Way to Pray: Please pray for Jasmine as she is in a busy ministry season in Thailand! She continues to make good progress with the Thai language, and it has aided her as she disciples students. Please pray for her continual growth in the language as well as continued growth in the relationships she is building.
