But despite the risks, many keep choosing to follow Jesus no matter what. Soy (name changed) is just 17, yet she already knows what it’s like to have her freedom taken because of her faith.

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.

Watch his incredible and brave testimony.
