Nadia, a recent Christian convert in Tajikistan, is experiencing severe persecution from Muslim family members. Nadia converted from Islam to Christianity in 2011. When her mother learned of her conversion, she beat Nadia, burned her Bible and tore her clothing. Nadia tried to run away, but her brothers found her. They shaved her hair, gave her a public beating and then locked her in their house. When she ran away, they caught her again. Nadia called a VOM contact on June 9 in tears, saying her family had beaten her again, this time for hours. They also forced her to say the Muslim statement of faith. The VOM contact has since been unable to reach Nadia by phone and assumes her family had it disconnected. Please pray that this young sister will remain strong in her faith and that the Lord will bring her family to Christ.
