I was born a Catholic, and converted to another branch of Christianity. To tell my father, who truly believes that Catholicism is the ONLY true religion, was one of the hardest things that I have ever had to do.

Like others have said, the Lord says in His Word that "Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me." (Matthew 10:36-38). We are going to be persecuted for knowing the truth of Christ, but we must be obedient to Him.

Pray for God's Spirit to give you comfort and show you the ways in which to go. He will "NEVER leave you or forsake you".

May God's blessings be with you!

Welcome to the family of god to belive in that true faith that's going to change you and mold in many way in days and maoth to come and it's not going to be a 'bed' of roses too.

Fatih in Christ is test thru time and many other factor  in your groth in the Word of the Lord and the very people who brought Christ to you.

It takes courage and alot inner strgenth to continue beliving in that Love for god in Christ and christ in you as you walk the walk of faith in Him thru thick and thin.

I was in your she too when I was from an Hindu background and family.I accepted Christ when i was just turning 18 yrs and was at the cross road of wanting to know the thre and living god that  of all the relogoin in the world today.

As i was convert in the beilef to Christ it changed many thing in my life and my very knowledge in Jesus grew week by week as attended every bible class and prayer meeting an all programme plan by the Church I was attending and it was also thru the members of the church who put in alot of effoet to see me growing in the Lord.

Just as you i had one major problem to break the news that I'm now a Christian and every Sunday with fail i when for service and to the youth meetings etc.Every one in the family was aksing thenself there is some kind of change and joy filling me and they were not able to pin point it.

It took some months before one day i told my grandmother that I'm attending Church and found that she is the one I can trust at that moment to relife that longing to share that joy within me without causing any uproar.

For your case it's how you take to yur family and how they can take it and your testimony plays a lot now as in my case it took some 2yrs for the whole family to accept my new found faith.but there was a price to pay as many of my relative till today until today after 33yrs still have not accepted me, consider a spoiled reject of the Clan., just  for beliving in Christ.

There were but up's adn down's too along the this 33yrs of my life following Christ and there were time I just want to leave the Christian Faith  as being just the only one and no one to encourage  in your very own family, but all the prayer  for the family mamaber to receive Crist just 5yrs back that one of my Aunt and her family accepted the Lord and we now encrouge oneother.

As for you pray and seek the Lord and feel the Holy Spirit working n and plan well who you can trsut to support your faith in Christ and the time and your foundation in Christ all plays  an important role.

Pray for your family and let them see the change in you that 'glow' of Christ shining thu you in every thing yiou do.

In his name and Love Patrick Gunaselan
