Xavia (30) survived a brutal assault eight years ago. During a 2016 attack, rebels with a militant group set fire to numerous homes in her village. Her husband, mother, father and sisters were burned alive. Xavia was tied up and subjected to horrific torture, rendering her unable to have additional children. She doesn’t know how she survived the assault but only remembers waking up in an evacuation truck. She was sent to another country for surgery, but her emotional wounds need additional healing. According to a Front-Line Worker, “She continues to suffer emotionally and has ongoing bouts of depression.” Due to a severe shortage of trained counsellors and psychologists in the CAR, Front-Line Workers are currently working to train pastors to provide healing care to Christians like Xavia who have suffered brutal attacks.
Pray for Xavia to get the emotional help she needs.
Pray for more people equipped to help people such as Xavia.
