Young Female Converts Rejected by Families

[76] prayers in [9] nations have been posted for Nathalie and Daniela.

Two young women have been rejected by their families for placing their faith in Christ. Nathalie’s conversion to Christianity three years ago angered her Muslim parents, who then tried to force her to marry an older Muslim man. She escaped the arranged marriage by running away from home and enrolling in a trade school, but her parents found her and have continued trying to force her to return to Islam. “I have no intention of turning away from Christ,” Nathalie said. Another young woman, Daniela, has also faced family pressure to renounce Christ since she became a Christian two and a half years ago. When Daniela refused to recant her new faith, her parents stopped supporting her, forcing her to drop out of high school. Local pastors are helping both young women. “We girls are very vulnerable, but we love Jesus Christ and desire to serve him faithfully,” Daniela said.

  • Nathalie and Daniela's father and mother have forsaken them, then the LORD will take care of them. Teach them Your way, O LORD, and lead them in a smooth path because of their enemies.
