North Africa/Middle East Refugees in the Diaspora

Nila has now been living in her new country for a handful of years, after finally being able to join her husband, who had arrived earlier. A mother of young children, she has made a number of friends this past year after starting to attend a weekly women’s gathering. This gathering not only gives her opportunities to better her language skills, but also to learn about things that she had only a vague understanding of before. She asked one believing friend if they could read the Bible together and was very excited when this friend found a copy in Nila’s native language that she could have! They have continued to meet weekly, even during a special month-long holiday, because Nila doesn’t want to miss a single opportunity to hear more about God’s love. Pray for Nila and her desire to know and understand more. As she and her friend read together, pray that Nila’s eyes and heart will be open to the truth found in those pages. Pray that her husband will also develop a similar interest and that this reading may be something they pursue together in the future.
