About this episode

Aweis Ali shares his harrowing experience as a Muslim convert to Christianity in Somalia, highlighting the cost of faith and the growth of the church amidst persecution.

Of his church of fourteen members in Mogadishu, twelve were systematically murdered for their faith. Being a Muslim convert to Christ in Somalia is a costly decision. Aweis Ali has survived thus far to tell the tale, which includes stunning church growth through persecution and trials. What a challenge to those of us in the West! Listen here, and receive a dose of courage to be bold in your own gospel witness! ▶️ Watch this as a video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/7jnb9Nu79AA If you want to support God’s work in Somalia through Aweis, check out www. somalibiblesociety.org ✨ You may also enjoy...
