From that first meeting, he couldn\u2019t stop reading the Bible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Khalil soon surrendered his life to Jesus; and from that time, [the] fear disappeared. He said, \u201cI will not fear anyone as long as Jesus is with me.\u201d He was later baptized, quickly developing a passion for Christ, and is now sharing his newfound freedom with his entire family! He continues to learn more every day and meets with believers whenever possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pray for his wife and sister who are now reading the Bible, that they too, would come to faith. Pray that Khalil\u2019s spiritual roots would grow strong and deep and that God would multiply fruit through this passionate brother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Editor\u2019s note: Media to Movements, which provided this story, is looking to add a full-time social media marketing coach to their team.
