Female Evangelist Ambushed, Assaulted and Hospitalized

[5] prayers in [1] nation have been posted for Naila.

A Christian woman was attacked and hospitalized after sharing the gospel. On Tuesday, April 29, Naila visited a family in one of the hardest-to-reach cities in her region to share the gospel. She said soon after she started to share, an older woman in the family suddenly became angry. She yelled at Naila and then began to beat her. Naila ran from the house, but men were waiting for her and hit her with some kind of sharp tool. Naila again tried to escape, running down the street and crying for help before she collapsed, waking in a hospital with serious injuries. Naila currently cannot walk and suffers from external and emotional wounds, and she is unable to care for her young child. Front-line workers ask Christians to pray that God will heal Naila’s body and mind, provide for her and her child’s needs, and that none of her sensitive contacts will be discovered. They are also looking for a safe place where Naila can heal.
