I divorced my husband several years ago. I do not need a man in my life to take care of me, I am perfectly capable of taking care of myself. In Islam, you’re not supposed to get divorced, but some people, like me, still do it. I am looked down upon in the community and am seen as a bad person. I don’t care though. I like the freedom I have given myself by divorcing my husband. I work hard and am proud of the way that I am able to take care of myself.

Prayer Request

• Pray for those who are shunned or shamed by the Hui community because of their decisions or lifestyle. Pray that they would encounter Jesus in the same way that the woman at the well did.

The picture is not of the storyteller in order to protect the identities of those who have shared their stories and lives with us over the years.
