This Young Sister is imprisoned for her faith and she is only 17 years old, my age
I live in a nation where I can believe in Jesus freely, but not
Her family disowned her for believing on Jesus.
Please keep her in your prayers that the Lord will make a way for her to go free before two years have passed.
Hebrews 13:3
Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them; and them which suffer adversity, as being yourselves also in the body.
Eva Abdullah
ARRESTED JANUARY 2012 IN TANZANIA
HELD 268 DAYS
Eva Abdullah, 17, welcomed Christ into her life three years ago, though she grew up Muslim. After her conversion, her parents disowned her. A group of radicals in her hometown of Bagamoyo on Tanzania’s coast sought to convince her to give up her new Christian faith. When she refused, they falsely accused her of urinating on a Quran, Islam’s holy book. Eva was arrested and put in prison and many Christian leaders were too afraid to get involved in her case because of Muslim dominance in the district. At her trial on July 23, the judge, who was allegedly bribed by the Islamic militants who accused her, sentenced Eva to two years imprisonment.
Tanzania
COUNTRY PROFILE
Language: English
Although Tanzania is not on VOM’s list of hostile and restricted areas but our contacts report increased antagonism toward Christians due to a radical Islamic influence. In 2013, VOM designated Zanzibar as a hostile area. Any convert to Christianity in the almost-exclusively Muslim island of Zanzibar faces beatings, family rejection, possible imprisonment or even death. Established churches have faced repeated attacks by vandals and Muslim mobs. Mosque leaders instruct their followers to punish apostates according to strict Shariah law. Those who speak publicly about their faith or against Islam are subject to imprisonment and mob justice. Some of this radicalism has also found its way to the Tanzanian mainland.
