Mahamat, a Muslim background believer living in northern Cameroon, was imprisoned by his parents for his Christian faith but later rescued.
Mahamat was studying to become a teacher of the Koran when he rejected Islam and turned to Christ. On 3 January, his parents learned of Mahamat’s new faith and tried to convince him to recant. When that failed, they locked him inside a house. They also summoned Islamic clerics to persuade him to return to Islam.
A relative who had also become a follower of Christ soon learned what was happening, and rescued Mahamat, who had been held captive for about a week.
Front-line workers rejoice that Mahamat is free and are thankful for the rescue because they were worried that he might be poisoned or forcibly married to a Muslim woman.
