After Sumi received salvation in Christ, she was given a copy of the New Testament. When her father found out about her conversion, he shouted at her and threatened her with a knife. He told her to leave her Christian faith or leave his house.
When Sumi left the house, her father burned her clothes, Bible and other Christian literature he found. She stayed at the church for 15 days before returning home. But the emotional abuse and persecution from her father and other villagers continued, such that Sumi could not complete her high school education and struggled to find quality work. Today, 21-year-old Sumi works odd jobs in Kathmandu and attends church in a nearby city.
Pray that God will fill Sumi with His shalom peace. Pray that the joy of the Lord will be her strength that will help her overcome every challenge in life. Pray that she will be able to make peace with her father and other family members and they will also come to believe in the Lord.
