Nigeria Christian Convert Flees Family

10/23/2025   (VOM)

A young Christian has fled his family after they beat and threatened him. Adnan grew up in a predominately Muslim area of northern Nigeria and loved to study the Quran. When he noticed contradictions between what he had been told about Jesus and what he read in the Quran, his teachers told him to stop asking questions. He then secretly visited a church where Christians welcomed him. He also enjoyed the music and the teaching. Later, he met privately with a pastor who answered his questions, and he placed his faith in Christ. At home afterwards, Adnan forgot an Islamic prayer, and his suspicious family beat him. One night, his father held a knife to his throat, forcing him to fight for his life. Adnan escaped and is now enrolled in a Bible school. “The true God has revealed himself to me and salvation through his son Jesus,” he said. “I miss my family, but there is no going back.”

Please pray…

• Pray that the Lord will encourage Adnan and help him to grow in his faith.

• Pray that the Lord will bless his studies in Bible school and use him to share the gospel with many Muslims.

• Pray that the Lord will touch the hearts of his family members and draw them to Himself.
