Our friend and brother, the Uztaz who recently came to faith had no option but to accept his wife’s request for divorce as demanded by her parents since his conversion to Christianity.  An Islamic shariah court granted his wife the divorce.

The Uztaz is remaining faithful to Jesus and has accepted remaining single. He presently reads the Arabic copy of the Bible presented to him by Passion.  His children are already enrolled in various Christian/Western education schools, funded by some believers.  Both children are doing well and would appreciate your prayers and support.  They are all gradually overcoming the culture shock as they blend easily into Christian communities..

Recently an Uztaz, a prominent Islamic preacher living in Saminaka, Kaduna state, met Jesus in his sleep and woke up in the morning with a conviction that Jesus is Lord. He went to a Church Pastor in Saminaka. Without any delay, he was led in a prayer of confession. The entire Muslim Ummah (community) reported his conversion to the Nigerian Police station in Saminaka after they (Muslims) took his two wives. The children refused to join the wives. The Uztaz and his three boys now live in a pastor’s residence and Passion is planning to move them to an undisclosed place for discipleship..

Our new sister has been given some support from our friends in Australia and New Zealand.  She is currently doing well and now lives in a rented apartment.

… and another convert

The young man pictured above has come to faith recently.  He needs some suitable accommodation..
