In 2002 my brother was taken to the police station. He was tortured and beaten so that he would confess to the theft. The fact is that in front of our house the neighbors opened a store. One day a thief entered the store through our house and stole things from it. They accused my brother. He did not admit that he was guilty. The investigation of the case revealed that my brother was innocent and he was released. As a result of this experience he became depressed which led to memory loss and uncontrolled behavior. We had to take him to the hospital. He was treated for 2.5 months but to no avail. He lost his memory and everything got worse.

As Muslims we began to make animal sacrifices, invited a Mullah who spent several days with us reading the prayers in Arabic, but it came to nothing. Then we decided to seek help from a local shaman. It did not help either. My brother was getting worse. He became aggressive, ran out into the road and threw himself under cars. He frightened children, did not sleep and cried. Trying to help him, we spent all our cash reserves and had to sell the sheep, rams. All were exhausted due to this situation and had lost hope that he would ever recover. We were ready to take him to a mental hospital for life, but my mother cried a lot and did not allow us to do so.

After a while my sister got a job as a hairdresser and there she met a Christian girl. That girl told her about Christ and said that only He can help. My sister went to worship with Christians for the first time and she really liked it. She told the whole story to the ministers who were willing to help. We decided to invite them to visit. When they came to us, they began to pray for our brother. Then they shared the gospel with us and said that they would fast.
