Summary

SummaryI’m Lucina, 19, from South Asia, and I dreamed of becoming a doctor one day. 🌟 In 2020, extremists first threatened my father Boutros because of his faith. When that didn’t work, they abducted me after offering tea during what I thought was a ride home. πŸ˜” I fell unconscious and woke up locked in a roomβ€”trapped in a false marriage, repeatedly abused, malnourished, and terrified. Months passed in that prison until one day, during lifted lockdowns, I found a phone, called my sister, and my father reached the police. πŸ™Œ I was rescued but discovered I was pregnant, which broke my heart. Today I cling to faith, asking you to pray for my protection and uncertain future. πŸ™βœ¨

Christian women and girls around the world face persecution focused specifically on their gender. One such form of persecution is abduction and forced marriage.

Lucina’s story is one shared by many other Christian women.

STRENGTHENING CHRISTIANS WHERE FAITH COSTS THE MOST Learn more about persecuted Christians at https://www.opendoorscanada.org Contact us at opendoors@odcan.org Our Purpose is to strengthen and equip the Body of Christ living under or facing restriction and persecution because of their faith in Jesus Christ, and to encourage their involvement in world evangelism by: - Providing Bibles and literature, media, leadership training, socio-economic development and intercessory prayer; - Preparing the Body of Christ living in threatened or unstable areas to face persecution and suffering, and; - Educating and mobilizing the Body of Christ living in the free world to identify with threatened and persecuted Christians and to be actively involved in assisting them. We do so because we believe that when one member suffers, all members suffer with it (1 Corinthians 12:26), that all doors are open and that God enables His Body to go into all the world and preach the Gospel.
