Luncheon with Guest Speaker Mariam Ibraheem

THANK YOU to everyone who attended the luncheon! 

We were greatly blessed by Mariam as she shared her heart and her story. See gallery below for some photos from the luncheon.


Everyone is invited to come hear Mariam Ibraheem share her incredible story of faith. Over a light lunch, we pray that this would be a time of connection, fellowship, and enlightenment about the reality of living as a Christian in a Muslim Majority Country. 


Hearing stories like Mariam's changes our hearts and drives us to pray more fervently as our eyes are opened to the amazing ways God is working through Christian persecution. If you're looking for ways to engage your church family in prayer and open their eyes to persecuted Christians around the world, come and be inspired by Mariam's testimony of a steadfast, tenacious faith - and God's miraculous plan for her life.


We hope to continue these informative and inspirational luncheons, so bookmark this page to stay informed of future events!

Shackled by Mariam Ibraheem

Mariam Ibrahim was born in a refugee camp in Sudan. Her Muslim father died when she was six, and her mother raised her in the Christian faith. After a traumatic childhood, Mariam became a successful businessperson, married the man she loved, and had a beautiful baby boy.


But one day in 2013, her world was shattered when Sudan authorities insisted she was Muslim because of her father's background. She had broken the law by marrying a Christian man, and she must abandon both her marriage and her son and adopt Islam. Under intense pressure, Mariam repeatedly refused. Ultimately, a Sharia court sentenced her to 100 lashes -- and death by hanging. 


Shackled is the stunning true story of a courageous young mother who was willing to face death rather than deny her faith. Mariam Ibraheem took a stand on behalf of all women who are maltreated because of their gender and all people who suffer from religious persecution.


Follow Mariam's story from life under Islamic law, through imprisonment and childbirth while shackled, to her remarkable escape from death following an international outcry and advocacy that included diplomats, journalists, activists, and even Pope Francis.
