(buh-LOHCH) – Whitney is a Baloch woman who tragically lost her preschool-age daughter last fall. During that dark time, a Christian friend gave her a Bible to read. She encouraged Whitney to read the Book of Luke. “This book is about the love of God,” she said, “because Jesus is the hands and feet of God’s love.” Whitney read all of Luke and told her friend that she liked the story of when Jesus raised the 12-year-old girl from the grave. “I would have brought my girl to Him,” Whitney said, “but Jesus lived so long ago.” Soon after, Whitney’s friend invited her to church, and Whitney agreed to come. When she arrived, the Christians welcomed her and included her in the gathering. At the end, there was a chance to share prayer requests. To everyone’s surprise, Whitney opened up and asked for prayer. For an hour afterward, the women surrounded Whitney, praying over her and weeping with her. The genuine love and empathy these women showed Whitney seemed to touch her deeply. She told her friend that she would try to come again. Please pray for Whitney to keep reading the Word, come back to church, and encounter Jesus!
