Believing Wife Beaten, Burned for Church Attendance

[181] prayers in [14] nations have been posted for Gita.

Gita has believed in Jesus since she was 11, but her parents gave her in marriage to a Hindu man 20 years her senior. She is an active member of a local church despite her husband’s opposition. Twice he has destroyed the Bibles given to her by the church, and he has beaten her many times for attending church. Earlier this year, he was so angry that he poured boiled lentil curry on her, burning her leg badly enough that she had to be hospitalized. The local church paid the medical expenses when her husband would not. On August 8, Gita’s husband beat her badly, broke her phone, and destroyed her hymnbook when he could not find her Bible. She used a neighbor’s phone to inform the pastor of her situation, but since then she has been out of communication. The pastor asks for prayer for Gita and her daughters, ages 7 and 5.

  • he has persecuted thy body. I pray he had a broken spirit, contrite heart, and repented of his sins. May he be equally yoked with his wife as a born again believer which would make him part of thy true Church and to raise their children up in the way they should go. I pray this to thy glory in thy holy and almighty name LORD Jesus Christ, amen.

  • Dear LORD, I know some time has passed but I pray Gita has either gotten to safety or that her husband has become a born again believer in thy body. I pray she has healed from her afflictions and her husband's conscience convicted him. I pray he was convicted to search thy word in the A1611 Bible and to have a broken spirit and contrite heart realizing
