Believer Shot, Denied Burial

Africa
Somalia

June 4, 2010

In SOMALIA, a Muslim background believer was executed outside his own house by an Islamic group, who shot him at close range in the head and chest. He has been temporarily buried near his house, since Muslims refused to admit his body to a public burial place. He leaves behind a wife and ten children.

Pray for their comfort, and that his martyrdom will only strengthen the Somali church. “But I, through the abundance of Your steadfast love, will enter Your house.”
