PRAYER ALERT–IMMEDIATE PRAYER ALERT
Muslim girl, America, converted to Christianity, is being held hostage [and being refused visits from anyone] in foster care–as to not offend Muslims, her family will send her to Sri Lanka, where apostacy is punishable by forced marriage-death, etc. Her name is Rifqa Bary, she is just a teen. She is in real danger of Honor Killing [for those of you who are not aware of the real horrors women living in Islamic families endure, including here in the US. [I was engaged to a Muslim Shite years ago, I have been intimate with Islam here in the West--so I KNOW firsthand, the reality, of what these women-girls endure].
see http://thewomenofislam.blogspot.com/
for the whole story–scroll down a bit to where it says, Rifqa Bary In Solitary Confinement
The vise is tightening further on Rifqa Bary, the teenage girl who converted to Christianity from Islam and then fled to Florida from her Ohio home in fear for her life. Now she is in foster care in Ohio, in imminent danger of being returned to her family, and the Ohio authorities, at the command of the Barys’ lawyer, continue to isolate her.
Rifqa Bary has been in Ohio for well over a month and still there is no “approved visitation” list of friends who are allowed to see her. How can this be? How can it be that friends who request a visit, and whom Rifqa requests to visit, are repeatedly told that “there is no approved visitation list”? Is it not the very mission by objective of children’s services to protect the health and welfare of a child? Why has this one child in particular been denied visits from friends?
Also, Pamela Gellar did a write up on this story…we need to really hold this girl in prayer–the political machinery will sacrifice her, she needs our support.
Thanks, solidarity, Jane

All I know, is that Peter denied Jesus three times, Thomas doubted he was even real, and the male apostles cowered in the upper room, while women were there for Jesus right at the cross. Mary announced the resurrection of Jesus, and of course the men disbelieved her. So this is how loyalty and devotion gets rewarded as patriarchal poison took over early Christianity. It’s time for women to lead the church, and fulfill the legacy of Mary, the first Apostle, and it’s time for men to sit down and listen, and stop getting in the way of the word as women will preach it.

1 Timothy 2:12 And I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence.
