Bangladesh: Testimony of nine-year-old

A nine-year-old Christian girl from Bangladesh says she has only survived extreme persecution for her faith because of Jesus’ love. She has been completely excluded at school and in wider society, is constantly bullied and has even watched her house burn down.

Rumana, whose family live in a village in northwest Bangladesh, which has an almost exclusively Muslim population. When her family became Christians, they were ostracised from the community, with even non-Muslims hesitant to associate with them due to fear of being similarly mistreated.

Rumana walks a mile to get to school by herself every day and when she gets there, no one sits near her in classes or lets her play with them during breaks, leaving her to play with her toys or make up her own games. Her teachers tell pupils not to sit near her in case they become a Christian.
