Gomar Kunwar was very sick but medical doctors and witch doctors alike were baffled by the illness and could not heal her. However, Christians in her village prayed for her and God healed her. So, Gomar started going to church out of gratitude for her healing. Her husband tried to dissuade her from attending church.
In the spring of 2022, Gomar accepted Christ and was baptized. Then Gomar’s husband began to treat her cruelly. He abused her physically and verbally, and even destroyed the Bibles she received from the church.
One time, he beat her with a stick and then poured gasoline over her body with the intention of burning her alive. Fortunately for Gomar, she was able to escape before he lit the fire. On another occasion, when Gomar refused to put on a religious symbol for a festival her husband was celebrating, he tried to attack her with a sickle. Again, she had to run for safety.
Now, her husband is barring her attendance at church, keeping her from meeting Christians and monitoring all her communications.
Please pray for protection, strength and perseverance for Gomar as she endures the persecution from a family member. Pray that she will not be tempted to renounce her faith but will remain strong. Pray that God will soften the heart of her husband and he will receive salvation.
