Anonymous asked: I come from a family of atheists. but since I was about 8 or 9 I started praying and believing. I have a copy of the bible, given to me at school, which I've had to keep hidden from my parents. I want to go to church. I want to be proud of being a Christian. I want to share my love for Jesus and God. but I can't. I almost feel ashamed.

It’s natural to feel so… I think you should first find out some christians in your community and start hanging out with them…. You can let your parents know that they are christians and that maybe you are going for shopping/playing/reading/ whatever activity…

Find some support first and then let them know…. It’s hard to do it on your own! And you can also talk to local pastors and elder believers to help you out!
