Day 5 Moldova

DAY 5:

WHAT IF? Your friends and family refused to speak to you because of your faith—would you continue following Jesus?

Imagine you’ve just given you life to Jesus Christ after attending a Bible study group for three weeks. You were raised in the Eastern Orthodox Church and never knew Jesus as your personal Lord and Saviour. Now you feel joy and freedom like you’ve never experienced. You can’t wait to share this with your family.

That night at the dinner table you tell your family that you’ve become a Christian—a follower of Jesus Christ.

As you begin to share the Good News with them, your mother begins to sob and leaves the table. Your father abruptly asks, “Who has been brainwashing you?

Your sister says you’re a traitor of your culture and family’s faith.

Your father confiscates your Bible and demands that the family never speak to you again—until you “come to your senses”.

What would you do in this situation?
