A woman from Afghanistan was given a Bible by her boss, and this led to her, her husband and her entire family converting from Islam to Christianity.
Khada, whose name has been changed for security reasons, remains in Afghanistan, where life has become even more difficult since the Taliban’s takeover of power in 2021, and she is a member of a secret church.
She told Christian organisation Open Doors how she had been raised as a Muslim and married a Muslim man, and assumed she would raise a Muslim family. However, Khada worked in an office before the Taliban regime prevented women from working after they overthrew the government in 2021 and, after forming a strong personal relationship with her boss, her boss made the extremely dangerous decision to give her a Bible, despite it being illegal to convert from Islam to Christianity even before the Taliban takeover.
