Open Doors highlighted in April the story
of a Yemeni woman who converted from
Islam to Christianity.
Yemen is a tribal country, where leaving
Islam is seen as a betrayal of that tribe, punishable by death. Nadeen (name changed)
was born and raised in Yemen, and became a
Christian in her late 20s before the civil war
broke out in 2015.
She had to keep her new faith hidden as her
family would probably disown her
if they
knew. Yemen ranks ninth on the Open Doors
2017 World Watch List of the 50 countries in
which it is most difficult to live as a Christian.
