Day 17 Cambodia

DAY 17:

WHAT IF? You are the only Christian in your Buddhist family—how would you feel?

Imagine what it would be like to be the only Christian in your Buddhist family. When you converted to Christianity they said you had betrayed your family and culture, bringing shame on them all.

Each week they continue to beg you to come join them at the local Buddhist temple to take part in rituals and ceremonies—something you used to enjoy doing together as a family.

Your mother also continues to see a kru—a sorcerer who provides amulets for each family member to protect them from you—an “evil traitor”.

What would you do? How would you feel?
