Christian Woman Beaten, Barely Escapes Forced Marriage

[7] prayers in [2] nations have been posted for Tajikistan Christians.

When Dinara came to faith in Christ, her Muslim family members beat her severely. Dinara fled from the abuse, but her family tricked her into returning by telling her that her grandfather was ill and urgently needed her attention. When she returned, she arrived to a room full of people waiting for her, including a Muslim man who was going to take her as his second wife. Dinara escaped and eventually fled to another nation, where she is working to start a new life. Nearly all Tajiks are Sunni Muslims, and fewer than one-half of 1 percent are Christians. Tajik women who convert to Christianity, like Dinara, can face severe pressure from their families.

  • I commit Sister Dinara into your mighty hand. For the scripture says in Deuteronomy 32:10; "He found him in a desert land, in the howling wasteland of a wilderness; He kept circling him, He took care of him, He protected him as the apple of His eyes." I pray that the will be the fate of our dear sister - You will protect her as the apple of Your eye!

  • Dear Lord,

    We pray for Dinara to keep her faith in Jesus, protect her, and give her provisions as she starts a new life. Please close the voice of this perverse muslim religion, but open the light of Christ so they know the true God, which is You. Forgive all and allow them salvation.

    Amen!
