Muscat, the capital of Oman, is located on the Gulf of Oman coast. The country’s interior is a sandy, treeless, waterless desert, while the coast remains the center for culture and trade. Oman was originally named “Muscat and Oman”, due to the importance of the capital in steering the nation’s well-being. In recent years, the Omani government has intensified its monitoring of Jesus-followers and their activities. Due to the Sultan’s edict, Omani Jesus-followers have faced harsh persecution. Nevertheless, as the country was renowned in ancient times for its metalworking and frankincense, Omani Jesusfollowers will continue in this legacy as they stand firm, sharpen one another as iron sharpens iron, and bring a fragrant offering to the King of Kings.
