Mother in Somalia loses husband, home for following Christ

A mother of three children in Somalia is struggling to survive after her Muslim relatives drove her from their home and threatened to kill her for accepting Christ, she said.

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.
