Teenager Martyred

Africa
Somalia

January 7, 2011

UPDATE: The 17-year-old Muslim background believer in SOMALIA who was shackled to a tree by day and kept in a small, dark room at night has been martyred. Her family said that if she renounced her new faith they would forgive her, but she remained steadfast. On November 25, she was shot to death.

Ask God to use her faithful witness to spread His Gospel in Somalia. “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”
