I WAS in darkness, and was taught to worship idols, until I was fifteen years old. My father accepted Christ while in America, and returned home and began to teach his relatives and friends about Jesus. They became very angry, and tied my father's hands and feet and beat him to make him say he would give up Christ. After a while, we moved where I could go to a Christian school. Later I was baptized.
During vacation, I visited my relatives, and tried to tell them of Jesus. But they were very much displeased. I was not allowed to read the Bible; and if they found me kneeling in prayer, they would kick me and make me get up. My brother would hit the table with his fist, and say he would kill me if I did not give up that foolishness. And when I would walk outside, they would make fun of me, and throw stones. When, at mealtime, I would bow my head to ask a silent blessing, they would hit me, or throw some soup or cold water on my head.

Pray for me that I may be faithful, and that when Jesus comes, we may meet together around the throne of God.
