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 labour to support himself.
