Man Threatens Wife for Choosing Christ

[390] prayers in [20] nations have been posted for Bright.

A member of a tribal group in Southeast Asia was forced to flee her home recently after her husband, who abuses alcohol and drugs, threatened to stab her. Bright became a Christian two years ago, at age 59, through the witness of a pastor. Her tribe, the Tai Dam, worship spirits, especially those of their ancestors, and the women are responsible for maintaining home altars. Bright’s husband often told her he would stab her if she did not abandon her Christian faith. And he recently warned her that if she continued to follow Jesus he wasn’t sure what he would do to her. Bright’s Christian friends then took her to another city for her safety. “She is a strong believer, and we believe that God brought her to us so that He can strengthen her even more,” a VOM contact said. Please pray that Bright’s husband will come to know Jesus.

  • Psalm 1
    4 Not so the wicked!
    They are like chaff
    that the wind blows away.
    5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
    nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.
    6 For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
    but the way of the wicked will perish.
