Every woman we helped proved that Jesus is still in the miracle business.

I watched God transform lives that seemed completely hopeless, providing not just physical escape, but spiritual healing and purpose.

Fatima, the Pakistani woman I mentioned, is now a nurse in Manchester and leads a support group for South Asian women escaping abuse.

Aisha started a ministry translating Christian materials into Farsy and has helped dozens of Iranian refugees find both physical safety and spiritual salvation.

The cost of this ministry has been significant and ongoing.

I live under an assumed name for security reasons and can never return to Saudi Arabia or see any surviving family members.

The death threats from extremist groups are constant, requiring me to maintain careful security protocols and limiting my ability to live a completely normal life.

There are times when the isolation and constant vigilance wear on me emotionally, and I struggle with loneliness and the grief of all I have lost, but I have gained so much more than I lost.

The freedom to think my own thoughts, make my own decisions, and have my own relationship with God is worth any earthly sacrifice.

The joy of seeing other women discover this same freedom through my testimony makes every difficulty worthwhile.

The deep personal relationship I have with Jesus Christ, built on genuine love rather than fearful obligation, fills my life with purpose and meaning that I never experienced during my years of Islamic devotion.

Your prison may look different than mine was.

Maybe it’s not physical captivity, but emotional abuse from family members who claim to love you.

Maybe it’s not forced marriage, but addiction that controls your every decision.

Maybe it’s not religious extremism, but depression that tells you every day that your life has no value or purpose.

Maybe it’s fear that keeps you trapped in situations you know are destroying you.

Fear of what others will think.

Fear of being alone.

Fear of making the wrong choice.

But Jesus is calling your name right now.

Just like he called mine in that palace room when I thought death was my only escape.

He sees exactly where you are, understands exactly what you’re going through, and has a plan for your freedom that is more beautiful than anything you can imagine.

You don’t have to stay trapped one more day because the same Jesus who rescued a Saudi princess from forced marriage is ready to rescue you from whatever prison is holding you captive.

If you’re ready to surrender your life to Jesus like I did, I want to lead you in a prayer right now.

Don’t worry about having perfect words or understanding everything about Christianity.

Just speak to Jesus from your heart like you would talk to the most loving father you can imagine because that’s exactly who he is.

Pray with me.

Jesus, I surrender my life to you like Zara did.

I’m tired of being trapped, tired of trying to fix my problems with my own strength.

I believe that you died for my sins and rose again to give me new life.

Please forgive me for all my mistakes and make me your daughter.

Show me the path to freedom and give me courage to follow you no matter what it costs in Jesus’s name.

Amen.

If you prayed that prayer and meant it from your heart, you are now a daughter or son of the King of Kings.

That’s the miracle of Jesus Christ.

and he wants to do the same miracle in your life that he did in mine.

From shared wife of five brothers to beloved daughter of God, that transformation is possible for anyone who will surrender their life to him.

Take a moment right now and ask yourself, what is God calling you to surrender to him today? Whatever it is, he’s ready to take it and give you something infinitely better in.
