Toofan became a believer two years ago, but he didn’t tell his family about his new faith until his baptism earlier this year. His mother tried to persuade him to renounce his faith in Christ, and when that failed his family kicked him out of the house.

Most recently, his parents tried to force him to marry a Hindu woman, but Toofan rejected the idea. His mother then told him she would pressure his boss, who is also his uncle, into firing him from his job. “No matter what, he still chooses to follow Jesus,” a VOM contact said. “He strongly believes if one door is closed, God will open many more for him.” Pray that Toofan will sand firm in his faith no matter the cost.
