Arabian Peninsula - Christian Sisters Escape Family, Fear Forced Return

Source: iCommitToPray

Two sisters were imprisoned by their family for their faith and now seek safety in another country. Noor and Rana grew up in a Muslim home but did not like the way they and other women were treated. They searched the internet for information on different faiths and eventually met some Christians online. Through the Christians’ friendship and witness, the two sisters became followers of Christ. But when their family discovered their new faith, they locked the sisters inside and physically abused them for 13 months. The two women escaped and fled to a nearby country, but they do not have the paperwork necessary to stay or to move on. “They are afraid, terrified, that they might be sent home,” said a front-line worker. He asked that Christians pray for the sisters to experience God’s peace and provision for a safe home where they can grow in their faith.

2 Timothy 3:12: "In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted."

Peace: Pray that Noor and Rana feel God's peace and comfort in the midst of their fear and uncertainty.

Provision: Seek God's provision for a safe and stable home where they can live without fear and grow in their faith.

Healing: Pray for emotional and physical healing from their trauma and strength to face the challenges ahead.

Faith Growth: Ask that their faith remains strong and that they continue to grow spiritually, finding encouragement and support from a Christian community to walk alongside them in their journey.
