MBBs – or Muslim Background Believers – are Christianconverts who often suffer much when they choose to follow Jesus Christ. Not only do they risk many trials, but they often have few champions. When persecution strikes them, often no one bats an eye or says a word.

Many MBBs have disappeared into prison cells. Authorities often presume no one cares about them and they’re forgotten. But that is not true. The Triune God loves them and sees them. And so must we as the Church.

On this episode of the Christian Emergency Podcast, we look into one such case of a Christian convert being thrown behindbars for his faith. We will share details about this man, explore his case and see how the patterns are similar to developments in other countries.

Saeed Abu Mustafa, an Egyptian, became a Christian in 2016. Pressures arose after his conversion out of Islam, and heeventually sought safety in Russia. While there, Saeed debated with Islamic scholars about Islam and shared about his Christian faith. Soon pressures arose against him in Russia too, and he was eventually deported back to Egypt. There,security services arrested Saeed and placed him in prison. As of this recording, Saeed Abu Mustafa continues to suffer in an Egyptian prison cell. There are even whispers that he has been mistreated.

To help you better understand what is going on with Saeed Abu Mustafa and other related cases is Dan Burmawi. Dan is himself an MBB. He grew up in the Middle East and is today an author and commentator well versed in these issues.
