All ### ever wanted to do was play sports. And he was good at it. So good, his parents sent him to a summer school sports camp. He hoped to make sports his career eventually.
What ###'s Christian family didn't realise was that all the other boys at the camp were Muslims, as was the trainer. When it was discovered that ### believed in Jesus, sports camp became a nightmare.
The other boys initially humiliated ### for his faith, but then began to beat him. Ten boys ganged up on him, leaving ### with bruises and wounds to his face and body. The trainer did not call the doctor to tend to ### and forced him to participate in physical activity despite his injuries. ### felt sick, and experienced headaches and vomiting each day. Still, he refused to renounce his faith.
###'s parents were shocked by his physical condition when he returned from camp. The headaches and dizziness have continued, and he may not be able to continue his intended sports career. A doctor said he will need a long time to recover.
Please ask God to heal ###'s body, and to bring emotional recovery to him as well.
Thank God that ### did not turn from Jesus in this terrible situation, and ask God to put a warm arm of reassurance around him as he continues in his faith.
Pray for the safety of ###'s family and their response to this attack on their son. Pray they let the Lord lead them to the best way to handle it in Christ.
Thanks so much for praying for this brave little boy and his family. God bless. Taken from an Open Doors USA text alert.
