Summary

SummaryI never imagined following Jesus would mean hiding my faith and risking everything 😒. In Central Asia, I secretly went to church and read the Bible until my husband discovered my faith and violently beat me πŸ₯ΊπŸ‘Š. With bruises covering me and my children terrified, I fled to my parents, only to face rejection from them too. Thanks to compassionate sisters in the church and Open Doors local partners, I found safe shelter and hope again πŸ™β€οΈ.

In #CentralAsia, converting to Christianity is seen as a threat to the Islamic community’s values and usual way of life. So women like Anara* who choose to follow Jesus are especially vulnerable and often live as secret believers.
