In this episode of 'Profile in Faith,' hosted by David Curry, we explore the profound and courageous life of Esther John, born Qamar Zia in 1929. From her early education in a Christian school in India, where she first encountered the Bible, to her dramatic conversion and subsequent life as a Christian in newly-formed Pakistan, Esther’s story is one of profound faith and dedication. After secretly nurturing her faith, she fled from the prospect of a forced marriage to live a life dedicated to Christian service, teaching, and evangelism.
Despite the risks, Esther evangelized in the villages of Punjab, ultimately paying the ultimate price for her faith when she was mysteriously murdered in 1960.
Join us as we delve into her legacy of bravery, teaching, and the lasting impact she left on the Christian community. Tune in on Spotify, iHeartRadio, and YouTube to honor the life of a woman who lived and died for her faith.
