In the “Waldensian Student” program, students live, study, and serve in universities in restricted access countries to quietly win fellow students and faculty for Christ.

A small group of “Waldensian Students” reached out to their friend Aisha*, who was interested in spiritual conversations. After studying the Bible with them for several months, she was baptized and excitedly shared her faith with her mother. Later, her mother also became a believer but was afraid to tell her husband.

This newfound faith brought Aisha’s mother emotional and physical healing from old wounds. Aisha’s father noticed these dramatic changes and asked her about it.

Finally, she bravely opened up to him about her relationship with Jesus. She told him how Jesus was healing her in miraculous ways. Instead of getting angry, Aisha’s father was touched by his wife’s testimony, even crying as he listened to her stories. They each asked for forgiveness for the ways they had hurt each other in their marriage. Now he studies the Bible with her almost every day, and his faith is growing.

Please pray for these “Waldensian Students” as they build bridges of hope in restricted access countries and share the gospel on university campuses.
