Convert Imprisoned by Her Family

[5] prayers in [2] nations have been posted for young convert.

A Christian convert in her twenties has been imprisoned in her room by family members, and her condition is unknown. “The family lives in a very conservative part of Turkiye, and they are very strict,” said a front-line worker. “When the family learned that she had been attending services at the only church in the area, they called her home to talk about it but then wouldn’t let her out of the home.” Front-line workers say her father and brother confiscated her phone and confined her in a room. “I can’t imagine what it would be like to have your father and brother, who are supposed to protect you, lock you up,” the worker said. The front-line worker requested prayer for her safety and release, that she will know she is not alone or forgotten, and that she will be able to share her faith with her family members.

    Please protect this young woman and surround her with Your peacepresence. Let her know she is not alone or forgotten. Soften the hearts of her father and brother, replacing fear and anger with understanding and love. Give her strength to forgive and courage to remain faithful. May her family come to know Christ through her witness.

    Amen!
