The 31-year-old woman’s husband recently divorced her following her expulsion from the family homestead in Jamaame village, Kismayo in March, said the mother of children ages 5, 7 and 9.

“I do not regret embracing Christianity; I have great peace in my heart,” the mother, unidentified for security reasons, told Morning Star News. “Issa [Jesus] has been providing for me and the children for the last three months, and I know He will continue providing.”

A Christian worker had shown her and her children the Jesus Film on Christmas Eve, she said.
