Prayer for Khalida

November 12, 2003 | Mr. Mulliner

[Mr. Mulliner]

I would like to ask my wonderful Freeper family to pray for a special friend named Khalida.

Khalida is a Palestinian woman from Israel and Jordan. She is an absolute blessing to so many people, but is now facing some dark times and needs your prayer.

Her story is fascinating and her life gives glory to God. Her mother died when she was 11 days old. Her immediate family was killed by a bomb during the war. She was raised by a Jewish family, but later sold into slavery in Jordan. She was raped when she was 10 and later escaped to where her father was living with his other 2 wives.

Khalida's life has been so hard. She was nearly killed by her father when she was still young for teaching herself to read. Because she was seen as trouble, she was given in marriage at age 15. A few years later she was living in America with a baby girl, knowing no English, and her husband divorced her because she had given him no son. Her father and step brothers took her baby from her so that she could marry again more easily.

After a second marriage failed, Khalida began to learn English. Five years ago she became a Christian and that has changed her life completely. She says she once was full of hatred, but now her whole life is marked by love for God and is expressed by her love for others.

Now Khalida is married to an American, has 4 children of her own and is raising the 15-month-old baby of a drug addict living on the street and the 6-month old of a woman trying to get out of poverty. Khalida's husband is very ill and cannot work so she is working full time as a math teacher in a private school. She also runs an online ministry to reach out to Muslims, helps many people in her church, and is trying to find time to write a book about her life.

Recently Khalida had a biopsy for breast cancer. She has been very ill and is in constant pain. She is also struggling with depression and now talking about wanting to go home to be with the Lord.

Will you please pray for this dear sister and ask God to renew her hope and to relieve her pain and symptoms?

On behalf of my good friend Khalida, I thank you for your prayers. Please ask others to pray also.

Will you please pray for this dear sister and ask God to renew her hope and to relieve her pain and symptoms?

Absolutely. And to heal her. I know a couple of breast cancer survivors and they are very happy, upbeat people.

[Mr. Mulliner]

Thank you so much for your prayers. I look forward to what God has planned for Khalida's life through your prayers.
