Life for Fena was difficult to say the least. In a recent report by the World Health Organization, researchers found that 35 percent of women around the world have been subjected to violence at the hands of an intimate partner, either physically and/or sexually. Fena fell among that 35 percent.

Researchers found that 35% of women around the world, whether a woman or a girl, have been subjected to abuse & violence at the hands of an intimate partner
Far too many women suffer violent abuse. Thankfully, Fena (not pictured) has a new story.

Fena often suffered at the hands of her drunken husband, Bir, enduring beatings when he wasn’t sober. Not only did her husband drink, but all three of her sons followed in his footsteps. Their drinking led them to sell many of the family belongings in order to purchase more alcohol. There was no peace in their home. Even the townspeople despised the men for their behavior.

Enough Is Enough

Something had to change in Fena’s family. She could not take the abuse or the strife in her home anymore. Fena decided to flee from her husband and sons and went to live in her mother’s house—an option many women do not have.

For 11 months, Fena pleaded with her gods for restoration and peace in her family. However, it was another God who heard her cries.

An Important Introduction

Meanwhile, a lady in the town introduced the local GFA-supported pastor Saee to her brother, who happened to be Bir. After they met, Pastor Saee visited Bir and his sons regularly. As they grew in their relationship with the pastor, Bir and his sons learned more about Jesus.
