A Macedonian Call:
A Safe Home for Persecuted Girls in Christ
Who are suffering at the hands of Islam, including those who have left its bondage to follow Him.
( Maisha-Mahi’s parents both married different people and left home)
“My parents remarried, leaving only three of us in the household. Nobody was taking care of us. I wanted to kill my parents whenever I saw them, but I can’t since Jesus taught us to forgive.”
Since 2003, we have been reaching underprivileged children and teenagers, like Maisha, and their families with the love of Christ. Our journey began when we discovered children scavenging for food in dumpsters outside our home.
Today, we provide school supplies, tuition fees, medical assistance, discipleship classes, and encouragement to impoverished children and teens in Islamic-dominant communities. Through this support, they experience God’s Word and the love of Jesus, growing in a personal relationship with Him

We partner with courageous churches to transform generations in Islamic-dominant communities through after-school sessions, weekly generation clubs, training workshops, discipleship seminars, children’s and teen camps, and other life-changing programs. Our mission remains steadfast—to equip churches to empower children, teens, and families, ensuring they experience the love of Jesus and grow in faith in places where Islam is dominant.
However, our daily ministry operates from a small, 70 m² (750 ft²) rented apartment in Dhaka, Bangladesh. With limited space and the challenge of accommodating more than 20 people at a time, we often struggle to host larger gatherings, provide outdoor activities, or offer shelter for those in need.

A Safe Home for Persecuted Believers
For Muslims who come to faith in Christ, the journey is often met with severe persecution—including physical violence, rejection, forced marriage, and unimaginable hardships simply for choosing to follow Jesus. Women, teens, and children are especially vulnerable, facing constant threats for leaving Islam.
Recognizing this urgent need, Bijoy Ministries is committed to establishing a Safe Home—a refuge for those at risk. We have already relocated three teenagers to temporary safe families, offering them protection and care. However, the need is far greater.
L-shaped building with a playground
Our vision is to establish a permanent Safe Home where vulnerable girls find shelter, security, education, and hope, all rooted in the love of Christ. This home will provide physical safety, spiritual and emotional healing, vocational training, and discipleship, equipping them for a future built on faith and stability.
Thanks to our generous supporters, we have acquired a 14,374.8 sq. ft. property, previously a kindergarten school, featuring a meeting room and three additional rooms—a valuable space for our ministry. The property is operational but needs repairs and a boundary wall for safety. It has reliable electricity and water and sits on 33 decimals of land, with room for expansion.
This spacious location includes a small playground for activities like camping and will serve as a safe home for persecuted girls.
With your support, we can renovate and prepare this space into a safe home for girls who have chosen Christ, leaving behind the bondage of Islam to embrace a new life of faith and hope.
Your contribution will enable us to make a significant difference in the lives of these girls, providing them with the safety and support they urgently require. Together, let’s empower more people with the tools they need to follow Christ and extend His love to those who need it most.
