Young Man Stands Firm in Faith Amid Ongoing Pressure

[170] prayers in [10] nations have been posted for Ajay.

Ajay, 24, has been pressured by his community and the police to return to Hinduism. The police arrested him and brought a false charge against him in an attempt to make him recant his faith. He was jailed for 9 days. Despite the ongoing pressure, Ajay has persevered in his faith. The pastor of Ajay’s church attends the church occasionally, so Ajay leads the service when the pastor is not there. He knows that he will face difficulties because of following Jesus, but he will not forsake Christ.
