Christian Convert Escapes from Locked Room

[161] prayers in [9] nations have been posted for Khaled.

Khaled’s Lebanese Muslim family was displeased when he decided to become a follower of Christ. After learning about his newfound faith, they attacked him and locked him in a room away from his wife, attempting to force him to return to Islam. But Khaled escaped and eventually reunited with his wife. She was also not supportive of his conversion and only allowed him to return if he paid the full cost of their housing and living expenses without any financial assistance from her. He found a new job, is paying the expenses, and is trying to demonstrate God’s love to his wife. He said she has noticed a change in him and occasionally asks about the peace he has despite his many challenges. Khaled recently led a colleague to Christ and is now discipling him and taking him to church.
