It took the death of her daughter for ### to turn to Jesus.
When ###'s daughter converted to Christianity, ###'s family reacted with anger and violence. Her brother in particular, an ### who was hoping to become a religious leader, an iman in the Muslim community, but his niece's conversion brought dishonor to the family and derailed his plans.
In his rage, ###'s brother began beating his niece.
He only stopped when she was dead.
The police arrested ###'s brother and he was sentenced to prison. But the story didn't end there.
###'s daughter paid the ultimate price for Christ, and it struck ###'s heart. She, too, converted to Christ. And again, her family reacted with anger and even death threats because she brought more shame to them.
### is safe for now, but the Open Doors team has asked for urgent prayer support for her and her pastor. "We have been with ###'s pastor since 4.30 this morning, working together to find a solution discretely," a field partner shared.
Though the Christian-majority Ivory Coast is not on the World Watch List, in some parts of the country where Christians are in the minority, converting from Islam can be extremely dangerous.
Wrap ### and her pastor in your arms at this critical time.
Please pray that ### will experience a deep sense of comfort and the closeness of God's Spirit as she grieves the death of her daughter. Ask for the peace that passes all understanding. (Phil. 4-7)
Ask God to protect ### and her pastor from harm, and give them and our field team wisdom in how to best help ### in her very real danger
Pray for ###'s persecutors. May God show them mercy and change their hearts and minds. (Matt 5.44)
