ARABIAN PENINSULA — Christian Sisters Escape Family, Fear Forced Return
Women face harsh restrictions in some Muslim-majority nations.
Two sisters were imprisoned by their family for their faith and now seek safety in another country.
Noor and Rana grew up in a Muslim home but did not like the way they and other women were treated. They searched the internet for information on different faiths and eventually met some Christians online. Through the Christians’ friendship and witness, the two sisters became followers of Christ. But when their family discovered their new faith, they locked the sisters inside and physically abused them for 13 months. The two women escaped and fled to a nearby country, but they do not have the paperwork necessary to stay or to move on. “They are afraid, terrified, that they might be sent home,” said a front-line worker.
He asked that Christians pray for the sisters to experience God’s peace and provision for a safe home where they can grow in their faith.
