Bimala came to faith in Christ in 2021 through the witness of her daughter. But fellow villagers who are opposed to the gospel disapproved of Bimala and her family becoming Christians and sharing the gospel with others.
They accused Bimala of engaging in “evil practices” and illegally spreading the Christian religion and also instigated the police to arrest her. However, Bimala was able to give an answer to the charges against her and explained her Christian faith to the police officers. Eventually, no charges were filed against Bimala.
Now, the villagers who had previously shunned and verbally abused Bimala are beginning to accept her and have asked her to pray with them. Bimala remains strong in her faith and hopes to start a Christian fellowship in her village.
We thank and praise God for believers like Bimala who chose to remain firm in her faith despite the opposition from fellow villagers. Pray that God will bless her and her family richly as they continue to be faithful in whatever God has called them to do. Pray that even those who are opposed to Christians and the gospel will make peace with Bimala and her family (Prov 16:7).
