Christian Man Struggles After Torture

[2] prayers in [1] nation have been posted for Jonas.

A Christian man now suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) after being tortured for his faith. Jonas left Islam and came to faith in Christ many years ago. When someone discovered his conversion and reported it to authorities, Jonas was immediately arrested, imprisoned and tortured repeatedly. When he was released, Jonas fled from the region as soon as he was able to and now lives in Europe. He is still tormented, however, by what he endured and suffers from PTSD. “He has been in his new country for several years,” said a front-line worker, “but continues to struggle emotionally and needs healing in order to adjust to life in his adopted home country.”
