In 2020, two sisters, Mariam, 18, and Sarah, 16, were threatened and beaten after sharing the gospel with a co-worker. The co-worker responded eagerly to the gospel but other co-workers complained about the sisters to their manager. The manager warned them against sharing their faith and together with some other men, they demanded the girls renounce their faith. When the girls refused, one of the men beat up Mariam and then locked up the girls.
Fortunately, the sisters managed to escape and hitchhiked home. However, since then Mariam has suffered poor health and the family struggled financially because of the loss of income.
Pray that Mariam and Sarah will be able to find work elsewhere and the family’s needs will be provided for. Pray that God will anoint and empower them such that whenever they share the gospel, many will believe in the Lord.
Pray that the co-worker who responded to the gospel message will receive salvation and grow in faith.
