94 people that I know of, including members of your extended family, have converted to Christianity because of your story.

They meet in secret house churches, sometimes just two or three people at a time.

They are praying for you and for their own deliverance.

Your blood was not spilled, but your story is bearing fruit.

I wept when I read that message, fell to my knees in my small apartment in Dallas, and wept with joy.

My father had tried to erase me, to make my existence meaningless, to ensure I was forgotten.

Instead, God had used my story to bring nearly a hundred people to Christ.

The flames that were meant to consume me had become a light that guided others to Jesus.

Now, at age 30, I am rebuilding my life as a follower of Jesus Christ.

I work with refugees.

I speak about religious persecution and I share the gospel with Muslims who are searching for truth.

I’m pursuing a degree in international relations and human rights, hoping to work more effectively for religious freedom globally.

The Saudi princess who was condemned to fire for reading the word has become a voice for those who cannot speak.

A testimony to God’s power to save and a living example that no one is beyond the reach of Christ’s love.

I lost everything.

my family, my children, my country, my wealth, my title, my identity, my past.

But I gained Christ.

And Christ is worth more than everything I lost combined.

He is worth more than palaces and private jets.

He is worth more than royal titles and billiondoll fortunes.

He is worth more than earthly family and comfort and security.

If you are a Muslim woman reading this, trapped in a system that treats you as property, know this.

Jesus sees you.

He loves you.

He died for you.

He offers you freedom.

Not just physical but spiritual.

In you are valuable to him.

Not because of your family connections or your beauty or your ability to bear sons, but simply because you are his beloved creation.

You are worthy of his love.

You don’t have to earn it.

You just have to receive it.

And if you are a Christian, please pray for the thousands of secret believers in Saudi Arabia and throughout the Muslim world who risk death every day for following Jesus.

Pray for their protection, for their strength, for their wisdom.

Pray that God would make a way for their escape if necessary.

and pray for their children left behind as mine were being raised in systems that teach them to hate the Jesus their parents died loving.

My name is Amira and I was a Saudi princess condemned to death for reading the Bible.

But Jesus saved me from the fire and now I am a daughter of the King of Kings.

Keep free in Christ for all eternity.

The flames couldn’t touch me because God had other plans.

And now I spend my life pointing others to the Jesus who saves, who transforms, who liberates, and who is worth losing everything to gain.
