Key takeaway Aziza, 17, was kicked out of her home and found temporary shelter in a church building, where she finished high school and received counseling.
Two women, Aziza and Jibek, have faced rejection from their families due to their faith in Christ. Aziza, 17, was kicked out of her home and found temporary shelter in a church building, where she finished high school and received counseling. She now hopes to attend college.
Jibek, in her late 60s, also faced opposition from her family after becoming a Christian. After a fall and subsequent move for treatment, her family cut off contact when they learned local pastors were encouraging her. Further details about their situations are available from the source, which also requests prayer for the women's encouragement and spiritual growth.
