I was taught “Information is power.” and “Gossip is like oil.” I was told to defend my family's reputation. But… how do you do that?
I learned about Jesus by watching Christian programs. I learned that I am a sinner, but that Jesus can forgive my sins and set me free. When my family found out that I had become a Christian, they wanted to kill me. Me becoming a Christian humiliated my family. My father locked me in a room while he discussed with my brother what to do with me. I was so scared…but I knew that Jesus could save me.
By a miracle from Him, I managed to escape. After several months a church helped me to start a new life. It breaks my heart that I caused pain and shame for my family, but now I have found the love of Jesus. I have chosen His family as mine.
Prayer Request
Pray for the Muslim background believers who are hiding their faith in Jesus. Pray that he will protect them and that they will be able to follow Him in freedom. Pray also that they will be a light for the Lord to their families and friends.
