Tajik Wife Abandons Christian Husband

[147] prayers in [11] nations have been posted for Nurbol.

A Tajik follower of Christ named Nurbol is requesting prayer after his wife suddenly abandoned him. She took their two young children and most of their possessions and fled while Nurbol was away. Both Nurbol and his wife grew up as Muslims, but Nurbol came to faith in Christ recently. A front-line worker says he has been very bold in sharing Christ with others and was fired from his job for his faith. His wife seemed interested in Christianity, but after she left him, she said, “You reject Jesus, and I will come back. But if you don’t, I won’t.” He responded, “I am not leaving Christ.” A front-line worker says it is significant that she left because culturally, it is not easy for a Tajik woman to remarry. Nurbol asks that people pray for his wife and her family to come to know the Lord and for God to give him strength as he faces these challenges.
