Summary

SummaryI had always been hidden for my faithβ€”until a brave colleague gave me a Bible. Together with my husband, Ehsan*, we read God’s Word in secret and were baptized. For six months, his promise to β€œwalk beside” me filled me with joy. Then one evening he never returned. Two days later, I learned he had been found dead, bearing signs of torture. I collapsed in grief, not knowing who to blame. Yet a friend came alongside me, and through the prayers and support of my church family, I found strength. Now, supported by local partners, I run a small business to care for our children. Each night, I talk to God, believing He hears my prayers. πŸ™πŸ’”πŸ•ŠοΈ

When Khada’s* colleague courageously gave her a Bible, Khada and her husband, Ehsan*, became Christians. But their faith came with a cost: Ehsan was killed. Thanks to the encouragement and support Khada has received from her church family, she is continuing to follow Jesus.
