Mauritania: family attacks Christian daughter

March 4, 2009

A Muslim family in Mauritania was furious when their daughter became a Christian.  They beat her and kept her bound hand and foot for 7 months, freeing her only to bathe or use the toilet.  When her parents realized she would not renounce her faith, they threw her from their home.  Now she ministers to other converts. 

Pray that God will strengthen and guide her. "[God says] I am their possession."
