Summary

SummaryI was living in rural Nepal, full of sorrow when I followed Jesus. My husband beat me, threw my Bible in water, and drove me from our home, accusing me of betraying our culture 😒. Yet I declared, β€œWhether I live or die, I will follow Christ!” πŸ™ Through a fellow believer and an Open Doors partner, I received training, encouragement, and practical aid. With their help, I opened a small petty shop that now sustains my family and gives me joy πŸ’ͺ. When my husband fell ill, I cared for him, prayed over him, and in just a month God broke his addiction to alcohol. Today, he tells me to go and pray freelyβ€”God has changed him! I have peace in my heart and stand firm in faith, trusting God for his full restoration ❀️.

In rural #Nepal, thousands of Christian converts like Shanti* suffer discrimination and even violence. When Shanti’s husband reacted angrily to her decision to start following Jesus, she found support from another believer – and through your prayers.
