Husband Abandons Christian Wife, Children

[163] prayers in [13] nations have been posted for Bindu.

Five years ago, Bindu and her three children put their faith in Christ, becoming the first Christians in their village. Bindu’s husband, Hari, is strongly Hindu and actively tried to stop them from going to church. On Christmas day 2021, while Bindu and the children were preparing to attend a Christmas celebration, he began to beat them, knocking one of his daughters unconscious and chasing them out of the home. Bindu and her daughters decided to return home, and the persecution and abuse continued. Hari tried many times to open a case for divorce and finally left the village. For the last year, Hari has been out of contact and has not supported his family. Bindu and her daughters are active members of the church and share their faith boldly, even though they do not have financial support and still face persecution.

  • Father, thank You for delivering Bindu and her three children from Hari. Despite Hari's wicked behavior, we intercede for his soul and pray that he'll repent and come to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. That which is impossible with man is possible with You because you're not willing that anyone - including Hari - should be lost and perish in sin.
