Background:
Fathima Rifqa Bary of Columbus, Ohio was raised in a Muslim home, studied the Quran, and practiced the ways of Mohamed. Several years ago, she converted from Islam to Christianity when she the found that Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
She continued living in Columbus with her family, sneaking out at night after her parents had gone to sleep to attend prayer meetings and to read her Bible. After her father threatened to kill her for apostasy, a crime under Islamic Sharia law, Rifqa hitchhiked to the bus station and fled to Florida. Upon arriving, she contacted a pastor who took Rifqa into her home.
In the days following the missing child's report and Rifqa's first media appearance in Orlando, the blogosphere lit up with friends and concerned bloggers praying for her safety, praying that she got away from the certain death that awaited her in Ohio.
Current Situation:
Rifqa was taken into Florida Department of Children and Families custody and remains with a foster family in Central Florida until the court system decides where the case should be heard.
Rifqa has committed no crime; she was simply unfortunate to be born into a family who believes in the cold-blooded slaughter of women and girls who dare to think for themselves.
Please Pray:
Please join us to help Rifqa Bary obtain her legal freedom and/or emancipation from her parents. Please pray that through a work of the Holy Spirit, her parents, Mohamed and A'asha Bary, will come to know the Lord Jesus as the true Way.
