Summary

SummaryI’m Lalise from Ethiopia. In 2012, at just 18, my young pastor husband was murdered as he walked home through a Muslim area. πŸ’” I was devastatedβ€”unable to eat, sleep, even tempted to end my own life. Then Open Doors shared my story and believers worldwide began praying. One faithful sister in Germany, Melanie, prayed every evening for ten years without fail. πŸ™ After a decade, Melanie wrote asking for news. I was overwhelmed to learn someone had held me before God all that time. Back home, Open Doors partners visited me, encouraged me to return to school, and even provided for my books. I aced my national exam and enrolled in teacher training college. πŸ“š God transformed my grief into new beginnings: I remarried, welcomed a son, and found joy in a renewed family. Today I stand as living proof that persistent prayer moves mountains, restores hearts, and opens doors to hope. πŸŒ„

After Lalise’s husband was killed in 2012, Open Doors shared her story and asked believers to pray. When Melanie from Germany heard about Lalise, she began to pray for her every day – and didn’t stop for ten years.
