Miraha, a Christian woman in Guinea, has faced ongoing difficulties since her husband’s death. Her Muslim in-laws tried to persuade her to marry her husband’s brother and convert to Islam, but she refused to abandon her faith in Christ. Then they wanted to circumcise her 11- and 14-year-old daughters. When Miraha again refused, the family tried to hold her captive in the village, but she soon escaped to a larger city. As she stood weeping in the street one day, overcome with her desperate situation, a Christian woman invited her to stay with her. Miraha found work in a restaurant, but she had to quit because the owner demanded that she sleep with him.

Our Father, from you all the families under heaven have received their name and you know all things and wonderfully and providentially watch over your own who are in Christ. We praise you for the witness of believers in Guinea and especially for the care of the woman who took Miraha and girls under her wings. Have mercy O Lord, that Miraha will find work and that her relatives will come to know Christ. May your Holy Spirit help your people to care for and love one another while standing firm for the truth and proclamation of the Gospel.
