Rejected Convert Encouraged by Christian Fellowship

[172] prayers in [12] nations have been posted for Hussein.

Hussein finds strength in community with other Christians after familial rejection for his faith. Hussein came to faith in Christ 20 years ago after experiencing him in a dream and was soon baptized. Since then, Hussein has faced opposition for his Christian faith. He was kicked out of his village, his property was taken from him and his wife left him. He has also been ridiculed by his family and isolated from his children, all of which negatively impacted Hussein’s wellbeing. “The rejection and discrimination Hussein went through resulted in some level of trauma and depression in his life,” his pastor said. However, Hussein has remained strong in faith. He regularly visits churches throughout Kenya to share his testimony, and fellowship with other Christians helps when he experiences loneliness. Still, the pastor requested prayer for Hussein, who desires to a have a permanent, stable home with his family.
