Deliverance
During my recent Middle East visit, we learned of a woman in one city whose husband abandoned her and her four children. The woman had no means of support and no place to live. She went to her imam seeking help. He told her there were several unused rooms at the mosque and she and her kids could stay there.
There was a cost to staying in those rooms. The imam and some of his men used the woman horribly. She was drowning in shame and helplessness. Praise God that the story does not end there.
Our partner ministry has been able to help the woman to find housing and employment. She has trusted her life to Jesus. While she still has some struggle with her memories of what happened to her, she is rejoicing in her new-found faith in Christ and her deliverance from an unbearable circumstance. Pray for her growth as a disciple of Christ and for her children's salvation and education.
