Elmahdi’s secret faith was discovered – and it cost him his family
Elmahdi*, a young man in Morocco, encountered Jesus through Facebook. To avoid conflict with his strictly Muslim family, he chose to keep his new faith hidden. But when his wife became suspicious and discovered messages with Christians and a digital Bible on his phone, his secret was out.
Revert to Islam or face divorce – that was the heartrending ultimatum Elmahdi was given by his wife. Elmahdi couldn’t deny his faith. Not only did he lost his marriage, but he was also stopped from seeing his sons.
For two years, Elmahdi has lived with this devastating loss. Understandably, he is tormented with thoughts of reverting to Islam just so he can see the children he loves. Yet he remains steadfast in his faith, comforted and consoled by his relationship with Christ.
