New Convert Seeking Help
So I am a 17 year old from South Africa and I grew up in a Hindu home but I found Christ in september 2024 and I tried to tell my parents that I wanted to convert to Christiaity. Long story short, they got extremely mad and they blamed it on my girlfriend who introduced Christ to me.
They yelled at me, broke my room door, took away my money, told the whole family and forced me to bow down to Hindu idols. They then tried to put a Hindu trance into me as they believe that it is a god taking over a person. I didn't know what to do at the time because back then I only followed Christ like a new disciple and I didn't know how important it was to stand my ground, so now they believe that i am a Hindu but secretly I am a Christian. I am in my final year of high school and in Indian families, it is hard to break away because living with your family while you have a job is considered normal.
Recently they bring up the incident alot and last night they told me of how this one man was a Hindu and then converted and his life went downhill....they then said that ever since I tried to convert I was always getting sick all the time.
I don't know what to do because it feels like i am never going to escape this household, let alone this household's faith and all I want is a life with Christ where no one can hold me back or force me to pray to who they want me to pray to. because they said "my house, my rules". Some days i had to run away from home secretly and pray in bushy field far from home, id take my soccer bag with my stuff, including my little bible, and i'd find a rock and sit and read it.
I don't know what i am gonna do these next few years because they want me to study online and i can't take this household anymore....I developed a anxiety conditions which is affecting my health, and I can't even speak to them because everything I say, I get yelled at for.
I just don't know what to do.
please pray for this poor soul
