Under Threat of Death

Shagufta Kausar was raised as a Christian minority in a Muslim nation. Shagufta and her husband, Shafqat Emmanuel, were arrested, charged with blasphemy, and sentenced to death in 2013. They spent eight years in prison before being acquitted and released. The international community shed light on the case, aiding in their release. Shagufta, Shafqat and their children now live in Europe due to continued threats against their lives. Eugene Bach (a pseudonym) leads the Chinese mission movement Back to Jerusalem, which provides support to Chinese missionaries in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. He has written or coauthored several books about the underground church in China, North Korea, and Iran.
