Gita, a Christian since the age of 11, is married to a non-Christian who is 20 years her senior. She is an active member of a local church even though her husband does not approve of her Christian belief. On two occasions, he destroyed the Bibles Gita received from the church and he beat her many times for attending church.
Earlier this year, he was so angry with Gita that he poured boiling hot lentil curry on her, burning her leg badly enough such that she had to be hospitalized for treatment. The church paid for her medical expenses because her husband refused to pay.
On 8th August this year, Gita’s husband beat her up badly, broke her phone and destroyed her hymnbook when he could not find her Bible for the purpose of destroying it. Gita had to use her neighbour’s phone to inform the pastor of her situation. After this phone call, Gita has been out of communication.
Pray for Gita and her two young daughters, aged 7 and 5 years old. Pray that God will watch over them and protect them from harm. Pray that God will soften the heart of Gita’s husband. Pray that he will have a divine encounter with the Lord and he will repent and receive salvation in Christ.
