(Saudi Arabia)–Saudi Arabia continues to show its anti-Christian colors. Christian Solidarity Worldwide reports the government deported 38-year-old Danilo de Guzman and 40-year-old Benjamin Diaz back to the Philippines last week because they owned a Bible and Christian C-D’s. The men were working in Saudi Arabia when they were arrested. Authorities found the material when they raided their hotel room in March. Public expression of religious beliefs other than Islam is forbidden. Pray for other believers who are quietly working there.
