## Resource

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...
