Rescuing a Widow and<br />

Her Young Son<br />

ICC EMPOWERS WIDOWS FOR A BRIGHTER TOMORROW<br />

Egyptian Christians, especially those struggling with<br />

poverty, frequently experience pressure to convert<br />

to Islam from Muslim-majority neighbors. Christian<br />

widows are even more vulnerable to the external<br />

pressure to abandon their Christian faith and access<br />

the socioeconomic support that comes with converting<br />

to Islam.<br />

Nora’s husband was kidnapped by radical Muslims and<br />

killed because of his faith, leaving his wife and son<br />

without anyone to support them. ICC helped Nora start<br />

a grocery shop to help generate income for her family.<br />

ICC helps women like Nora to come alongside and<br />

support like family and persevere against pressures to<br />

convert.<br />

GIVE TO RESCUE: WIVES & KIDS<br />

“I don’t know why<br />

God allowed my<br />

husband to be<br />

killed. My husband<br />

was like an angel<br />

and never hurt<br />

anyone, and I loved<br />

him so much. But<br />

I trust God and his<br />

plan for my life as<br />

I lost my father at<br />

a very young age–I<br />

was 5 years old,<br />

and now my son is<br />

7 months old, and<br />

he lost his father<br />

too. Please pray for<br />

me and my son’s<br />

future.”<br />
