Mahamat, a young Christian living in northern Cameroon, was imprisoned by his parents but later rescued. Mahamat was studying to become a teacher of the Quran when he rejected Islam and turned to Christ. On 3 January 2025, 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. But when a relative who had also become a follower of Christ learned what was happening, she 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 worried he could be poisoned or forcibly married to a Muslim woman. They request prayer for Mahamat and his Christian relative: for safety, for Mahamat to continue growing in his faith and that “every evil plan from the kingdom of darkness against his life will be destroyed.”
