Across Islamic nations, women seeking spiritual truth face brutal consequences. Enter Samar, one of our Field Ministers who knows these dangers firsthand. After Al-Qaeda threatened her life for sharing her faith, she fled to America with her husband and three children. But safety wasn't her final destination.
Defying logic and fear, Samar returned to the Islamic world. Her mission? Support women desperate for spiritual hope but trapped by persecution.
Each week, Samar leads a hidden Bible study for Muslim women searching for truth. In these secret gatherings, women find what their society denies them: freedom to question, explore, and hope. At their latest meeting, the group watched the Jesus film, sparking raw discussions about forgiveness and Christ's love.
Beyond group sessions, Samar meets one-on-one with seekers. Having walked this dangerous path herself, she understands their fears, doubts, and hopes. Each prayer she shares with these women carries the weight of shared experience and the promise of transformation.
Faith feeds the soul, but Samar knows empty stomachs need filling too. Most of these women work as day laborers, their incomes unstable and sparse. Through support by people like yourself (thank you!), Samar delivers food packages and grocery vouchers—practical lifelines for families living on the edge.
These weekly gatherings are sparking transformation across the region. As more women embrace faith in Christ, local churches almost rise up to walk alongside them. In addition to Samar, they provide the spiritual mentoring and practical support needed to navigate the challenges ahead.
Every Emergency Relief Kit delivered, every Bible study hosted, every prayer shared - it's all possible through faithful supporters who fuel this mission. These resources do more than fill empty stomachs; they nourish souls searching for truth.
"This is how it's done, through Bible studies to groups!" Samar shares. "It is great to see, share some of my story, and pray with these ladies." Each week, these brave women risk everything to attend, driven by an unshakeable hunger to know a God who treasures them as daughters.
Across the Islamic world, women are discovering their worth, finding their voice, and building communities of faith. One study at a time, one life at a time, hope takes root and grows. Thank you for praying for them!
