This is just you to think over the migrants issue. As you read these case studies please remember in prayer that there are many more people who are abandoned from the family!
Case-1
“I got married when I was 15 only. Now, I have two kids, a son who is in class 8 and a daughter who is in 1. My mother left us alone and went away with another man. Due to the family tragedy, I had to discontinue my schooling and started looking for the needs of the family. Things started becoming heavier in my life. We, as a family came into Christ in the late of 90s and we could experience God’s presence in our family.. My husband got a job in the UN office in Nepal which was impossible to understand from human perspective though we were not much qualified and experienced but God put us to that level.
My sister-in-law got married to a muslim man from US and migrated there. She used to support us when we were in need of financial help. A real temptation came to our family this year. My husband is severely sick since long time due to the some disorder in the brain, which demands lot of medicine and treatment. I had never encountered such a test in life. I should say that I was living in my own silos. Once, my sister-in-law asked us to come to US, along with the family to look after her hotel there. We thought that perhaps it would be easier to meet the needs of my husband to treat his sickness there. We made the passport and everything but suddenly, I heard another demand from sister-in-law that we would be taken to US only if we converted to Islam.I was shocked to hear this demand. How come people can betray like this? My husband converted to Islam from Christianity, just in the hope of the US. I can’t even express the pain and scene how a man can leave God when he knows the taste of salvation. My son consoles me at this moment, “Mom! When we were in need, our God supplied our needs. Please mom! Let us not leave Jesus for the sake of America. We will stay here even if we are not taken to US.” My five years daughter cries, ‘Please mom, why papa converted into Muslim? What harm had Christ done to us?” My heart overwhelms looking at my kids. I thank God for my two kids who consoles me in my downs. Even though husband left us, we are not going to leave Jesus who is my rock and salvation.
Case 2
I am from Achham. My husband used to work in Mumbai. I got married in 2000 and came to Mumbai along with my husband. He used to become sick often but we didn't care much. Most of the family member were working in Mumbai itself. Gradually, he became seriously ill. We were unaware about his sickness and didn't know what to do. When his health became more complicated, we took him to hospital for checkup. After the checkup, we realised that he was seriously ill by AIDS. In 2008, He expired due to the sickness. Things had been changed a lot. Leter on, I was sexually abused by own brother-in-law. They took advantage of my widowhood. Even my family member didn't even bother when someone harassed and abused me. I ran away from my house and started to live seperately with my kids. Somehow, one Christian organization approached to me when none from my family thought of me. Now, I am living in the rehabilitation center of Oasis India. I have 6 years son and a 1year daugther who are with me here in shelter. These people have been so good to me. When my family became stranger to me I got the love from these people. I used to wonder from where they got this love ? I was not aware about Christ who makes things different. His love can change our life. Now, I have a big question that I would have to forgive my own people who abused me? How can I forget and forget to those who betrayed me, to those who even didn't let me live in peace? I am living with this dilemma!
