In the beginning it was very hard for me. All my friends were somewhat offended. I felt very misunderstood. But I did tell them.
I have been a Christian now for around one and half years…. and I have told them all about Jesus. Thank the Lord, four of my friends have also come to Christ. None of my friends are giving me problems now because of my faith. Here everyone accepts who I am and that I tell my friends.
Sooner or later others in my land will find out and I am afraid that my family back home will be persecuted because of me. Most of my friends are M….. or of another religion. Many have accepted my words, but they will not come to Him. They are afraid of the problems.
The only and most important thing I found in Europe is Jesus.
Jesus lives in me.
Prayer Needs:
1. Please pray for the Ephesian 4:11-16 Seminars coming up Feb. 21-23rd.
Pray that the right Persian Christians will come.
2. Please pray for the Discipleship class on Friday: That the refugees will grow in Christ like character. They need His character to overcome.
3. Please pray for the expansion of the Advanced Discipleship group. We are trying to gather more students, and adjust leadership discipleship appropriately.
Personal diary: The Lord is helping us develop discipleship and allows us to be apart of His kingdom building. Learning Persian is a part of that process.
The past couple of weeks have been somewhat emotionally draining for me as I had to strongly confront one of the men I mentor. Very complex, and other family relationships involved as we have known him for around 15 years.
On the up side, another young man I have known for about that long has made a rededication and I am seeing his life change. He has gone up and down in his walk for so many years. He is growing more now.
Thank you for your prayers and support!
