Day 21 I have a new family in Jesus.

I am a medical student. I had the opportunity to talk about Jesus with fellow Christians and I began secretly reading the Bible. One day Jesus appeared to me in a dream. He called me to follow Him and I said yes!

My family noticed that my behavior had changed, but I said, "It’s nothing." But my brother finally found the Bible that I had hidden. My father almost killed me when I refused to return to Islam.

My relatives tried to convince me to turn back to Islam. I heard that my eldest brother was planning to kill me because I had shamed my family.

I lost the family I love because I followed Jesus, but I have a new family in Christ who loves me.

 

Prayer Request

Pray that God will prepare His people to welcome those who are persecuted for believing in Him. Pray also that He will protect new believers and give them the courage to stand up for their faith.
