Rashid has always loved the mountains and is deeply loyal to his family. Over five years ago, he met a believer, and they quickly became friends. Rashid enjoyed telling his friend all about his people, his language, and his heritage, and he even invited him up to his mountain home, where his friend met his parents and older brothers. Since the time they met, life has been difficult for Rashid. He has had periods of unemployment and has had to travel far from the mountains to work. Within a year, his father passed away after battling cancer, and then his beloved mother died suddenly. Through all of this, Rashid has continued to hear the truth from his believing friend. Please pray that Rashid will see his own lostness and realize that he can never earn forgiveness from Allah. Pray that the Father will transform his heart and that many people in his mountain village will come to praise the name of Jesus.
