Laos Christian Wife Beaten and burned by Her Husband
11/24/2022 Laos (VOM)
Gita has believed in Jesus since she was 11, but her parents gave her in marriage to a Hindu man 20 years older than her. 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 boiling lentil curry on her, burning her leg so badly 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.
Please pray…
-
Pray that the Lord will heal, comfort and strengthen Gita in the midst of this severe persecution by her husband.
-
Pray that her daughters will trust in Christ and that Gita’s husband will not take them from her.
-
Pray that the Lord will touch her husband’s heart and that he will soften in his attitude toward her and even repent and trust in Jesus himself.
