Teenage Girl Faces Death for Following Jesus
Source excerpt
Since she decided to follow Jesus in June 2025, 15-year-old Indii Mikaa’el has lost her education and the comfort of her home. She could also lose her life. Born into a Muslim family in Haroji Wado, near Ethiopia’s border with Sudan, Mikaa’el now lives under constant threats from her family and community. Although Christians worship freely and openly in Ethiopia, Christian converts from Islam in Muslim-majority areas often face violence and even death threats. “When my family found out that I had decided to follow Jesus, everything turned against me; they became very hostile,” she recalled.
