When Juhar Bekele became a Christian in 2016 while living in Hurumu, Illu Ababora Zone, in Ethiopia, he knew his life would change dramatically. Now a minister, husband, and father, Bekele said his life changed most when he had to trust in Christ as he faced rejection, threats, and violence for leaving Islam. “After giving my life to Christ, I began sharing the gospel with my community,” Bekele said. “My decision was not accepted by many people around, especially within my Muslim community. As soon as I started spreading the gospel about Jesus, people began to hate me.
