Christian Woman Beaten, Barely Escapes Forced Marriage

[201] prayers in [14] 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.

  • that they are sinners. I pray they would then search thy word as Bereans and realize their sin is before thee and shall lead them to hell and the lake of fire without thy salvation. I pray they realize thine is the only name given where mankind can be saved from sin. I pray they realize thou hast suffered, bled, and died for sin and art risen.
