Christian Girl Freed from Captivity

[148] prayers in [10] nations have been posted for Reena and family.

An abducted Christian girl has been rescued and reunited with her family. In January 2026, 16-year-old Reena was kidnapped while walking home with her sister. Family members later learned that a Muslim man claimed Reena had converted to Islam and married him. When a lawyer sought to obtain court approval for the minor to be returned to her family, the courts initially backed the abductor, but Reena’s family eventually obtained an order for her release. On July 8, Reena’s mother and the lawyer went to retrieve Reena, and the abductor’s family tried to prevent Reena from being freed. The lawyer called the police, and when Reena stated she wanted to go with her mother and the lawyer, the police freed her. Reena and her family are in hiding and ask for prayer for her recovery and for protection from the family that abducted her.

  • ....For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord. " (Romans 8:35-39)

  • "Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written, "For your sake we are being killed all the day long;we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered." No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us....
