News of his Christian faith spread quickly among the villagers, and they soon decided that he had to be stopped. That\u2019s when the nightly beatings began. They couldn\u2019t allow kafirs in their village.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8220;You Can Beat Me, but Not My Child&#8221;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When the men came to beat Jamil, he shared the Scripture with them and never tried to retaliate. But one night the beating went too far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That night only one man showed up to deliver the beating. As Jamil endured the punches, his 6-year-old son walked into the room. The man stopped hitting Jamil and turned to look at the boy. He then drew back his arm and shoved his fist into the young boy\u2019s stomach. Jamil\u2019s son fell to the floor, gasping in pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.persecution.com\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_5097_Jamil-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"a group of people stand together talking \" class=\"wp-image-1437\" width=\"423\" height=\"282\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.persecution.com\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_5097_Jamil-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/assets.persecution.com\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_5097_Jamil-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assets.persecution.com\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_5097_Jamil-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/assets.persecution.com\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_5097_Jamil-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/assets.persecution.com\/stories\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/IMG_5097_Jamil-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 423px) 100vw, 423px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Jamil had had enough. He was unable to turn the other cheek. While he could take the beatings himself, he couldn\u2019t allow the man to hit his son.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seeing his temper flare, the attacker turned and fled. A rush of adrenaline surged through Jamil\u2019s aching body as he pulled himself off the floor and frantically searched for a knife. The attacker ran out the door and down the street to his own house, where he hid in a back room. Jamil burst into the man\u2019s home and stopped in front of his attacker\u2019s elderly father, who was sitting in the front room. \u201cWhere is your son?\u201d Jamil demanded. \u201cI\u2019m going to kill him!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cJamil, this isn\u2019t like you,\u201d the elderly man replied. He knew that Jamil had endured years of nightly beatings without fighting back. \u201cWhy do you want to kill my son?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After telling the father what his son had done, Jamil stumbled back into the street, still filled with rage and thoughts of revenge. He later told everyone in the village that the man\u2019s attack on his son was unacceptable and dared anyone to fight him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jamil couldn\u2019t sleep that night. He became restless as his anger subsided, and he was convicted by the Holy Spirit of his vengeful thoughts. He knew that he needed to ask for forgiveness. The following morning before sunrise, he walked back to the home of his son\u2019s attacker and asked the man and his elderly father for their forgiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although the man and his father were affected by Jamil\u2019s apology, the villagers still didn\u2019t want the kafir in their village, and the nightly beatings resumed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&#8220;You Cook for Us&#8221;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One night as the leaders of the local Islamist group were leaving on a hunting trip, they barged into Jamil\u2019s home at dinner time to deliver their nightly beating. And this time they were hungry. Turning to Jamil\u2019s wife, one of the men gruffly said, \u201cYou cook for us!\u201d They sat on the floor around the table looking at her as if they were daring her to refuse their demand. Jamil\u2019s wife looked questioningly at her husband, hoping Jamil would tell her what to do. \u201cPlease cook for them,\u201d he told her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jamil\u2019s wife dutifully prepared the meal and served the men who had beaten her husband and son. As they ate, Jamil saw his opportunity and began to share the gospel with them. He knew that sharing the gospel could lead to more beatings or, even worse, the beating of his son and possibly his wife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the men finished their meal, Jamil ended his gospel presentation by saying, \u201cMay God bless your hunt.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The men were astonished. \u201cWe came here to eat your food and beat you, but now we cannot,\u201d said the leader. \u201cWe will leave you in peace.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jamil and his wife were stunned at their response as they pushed back from the table and left the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Days later, the leader of the group invited Jamil to his home to share the gospel with his family. As the villagers observed all that happened, the gospel began to make headway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>VOM supports persecuted believers like Jamil by providing them with the tools they need to share the gospel and disciple new believers. Jamil and his family have moved to another area, where they serve in a greater capacity leading believers. The believers in the village where Jamil was beaten were cared for by another Christian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jamil endured three years of beatings before finally seeing the gospel take root and multiply in his village.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Night after night for three years, Jamil endured the same abuse.
