“Apart from being treated as a second class citizen in general and being bullied and beaten-up by other teenagers for being a Christian, hypocrisy was something I struggled with,” Farouk* says. This Middle Eastern father of two school age children, now uses his own experience to help other Christian parents through a parenting campaign for the Middle East that Open Doors is involved in.Farouk goes on to say, “Christian parents should have the same love for their children as Christ has for mankind. So don’t make certain behavior from your children a condition for expressing your love to them. But instead provide love and forgiveness as a basic value in your family.”* representative name and image used for security reasons -- source link
