A Call to Salvation

Promise to the Nation
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? (The Bible, Romans 8:35).
Oman is an Arabian Peninsula country. The government is a monarchy. The country went from ‘No Rank’ to the late 40s to ranking 31st out of 50 in the Open Doors Persecution List for 2024. As the years go by, persecution is increasing steadily. Christians are monitored by government agencies. Those who share their faith with Muslims will face deportation or worse. Christians among expatriates are generally left alone to practice their faith and gather in churches. The places of worship are under surveillance by government agencies to check if local Omanis come to worship God. Conversion is not legal for any Muslim. Not even expatriates are exempt from this rule.
