A convert from Islam in Somalia who was attacked in May and July was again assaulted in October. Mohammad Abdul was leading worship behind locked doors at his home when four Muslim relatives arrived and waited outside for him to finish. When he went outside, his relatives began questioning him. When they told him that he must join Muslims for Islamic worship, he said he replied that he had embraced the Christian faith and Christ was his Lord and Savior, adding, “Isa who saved me knows my heart, and I am happy in my heart, so leave me alone.” His relatives then attacked him. He suffered a fracture on his left hand, injured fingers of his right hand and cuts to his face. When threatened after the beating, Abdul replied, “You can beat me up more if you want, but I can tell you that Isa has saved me. Whether I die or not, I live to serve Him.” He and his wife have three children, ages 9, 5 and 3. Abdul put his faith in Christ in March.
Please pray…
Praise the Lord for Abdul’s faithfulness and willingness to suffer for Jesus.
Pray that the Lord will strengthen him and protect him and his family, and provide a safe place for them to live.
Pray that the Lord will use his faithful testimony to open the eyes of his relatives and that some will trust in Christ.
