Rejected Convert Receives His Own Bible

[4] prayers in [1] nation have been posted for Muse.

A Christian convert from Islam rejected by his family was encouraged by receiving a copy of God’s Word. Muse was raised in a Muslim fundamentalist religious family and came to faith in Christ through the testimony of a missionary working in his region of Ethiopia. Muse’s eldest brother was a respected Islamic scholar, and when he learned that Muse had converted to Christianity, he threatened him to renounce his new faith. When Muse would not, he was evicted from the family home and forced to drop out of school, moving to a nearby town where he took on daily labor to support himself. His new life has been challenging, and his relationship with his family is deeply strained. When front-line workers distributed Bibles at Muse’s church, Muse was overjoyed to learn he would receive a copy. “This is my first time seeing a new Bible,” he said, clutching it to his chest. “Now, I have the Bible I have prayed for many years.”

  • Dear Lord,

    When Muse would not reject the truth of Jesus, he was evicted from the family home and forced to drop out of school, moving to a nearby town where he took on daily labor to support himself. Please provide the provisions, protection, and faith to follow You; as the work needed so he can survive and spread the Gospel.

    Amen!
