As a teenager, it can be hard to be a Christian. There’s all kinds of pressures facing us, and holding onto God can be really tough. For Farah, from the Middle East, her faith in Jesus is shared by her family, but being a Christian has had some severe consequences for them. Her home was raided by the authorities, her things were searched, her dad arrested. She’s been spied on, followed and had to leave her home country all because she and her family have chosen to believe in Jesus.
Manga’s life changed forever after Boko Haram extremists killed his dad and left he and his brothers with life changing injuries. But instead of letting the actions of those who gave him his scars define him, Manga instead is now proud of them, seeing them as a sign of how God saved his life! Amazing. Watch his incredible and brave testimony.
