Somalian Muslims attack mother of 8 for trusting Christ

Muslim extremists in Somalia, Africa attacked a mother of eight for converting from Islam to Christianity.

Sophia Ibrahim came to Christ in April 2022. Several Muslim men beat her unconscious after they found her attending a Bible study this month. She was discharged from the hospital last week. 

Ibrahim told Morning Star News, “I will continue serving [God] and making others know Him because of the everlasting life and the joy of knowing Christ.”  

Somalia is ranked second on the Open Doors’ World Watch List of the most dangerous countries worldwide to be a Christian. 

In Philippians 3:8, the Apostle Paul wrote, “Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ.”

2 Timothy 3:16 says, “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness.”
