"Adel's family threatened to murder him if he did not renounce his Christian faith. was terrified they would kill me," Adel recalls. But he prayed, "God, encourage me." After he cried out to the Lord, Adel felt full of courage and defended his new faith.
""I am not an infidel like you say. I know the truth," Adel told them. His family decided spare his life, but many of his relatives and friends completely disowned him.
"Though Adel was abandoned by those closest to him, he wouldn't abandon his newfound faith in Christ. Persecution did not break Adel-it only made him stronger.
"Today, Adel lives to share the love of Jesus with Muslims who are far from God. He even planted an underground church, which has been a refuge for seekers and persecuted Christians alike."
