What if your family, as Hindus, are strongly opposed to your Christian beliefs?

DAY 6

In India, if you were to convert to Christianity you could be breaking the law of your state. It would also be seen as betraying your nation and your culture.

I imagine it must be so difficult for these new Christians who continue to live in their Hindu families and communities. On the other hand, many are excommunicated from their villages and their families reject them completely. What amazing faith must they have to endure! (

Imagine if you were in this situation. How could you share the Gospel with your Hindu family?

I thank God that He has given us the Holy Spirit as our Counsellor to guide us in what to say: “Do not worry beforehand about what to say. Just say whatever is given to you at the time, for it is not you speaking it is the Holy Spirit.” (Mark 13:10-11, NIV)

Would you be confident to share the Gospel with your family?
