Honey People of the Horn of Africa

Even to an outsider looking on, it was obvious that Tsnite was married to an abusive husband. Sampson would often hurl things in a drunken rage only to be sorrowful over his actions the next day. The village elders had given their blessing for her to divorce Sampson. Even with the approval to leave, Tsnite stayed. She knew that she needed to model Christ to her husband and children. Through her faithful example, her oldest child decided to follow in her mother’s footsteps and become a Christian. Years passed and Sampson stayed the same, but many were praying for his salvation. During a season of political unrest, he watched Tsnite display peace and joy despite difficult circumstances. Sampson realized that he needed to repent of his sins and follow Christ. Now a household that once was under the shadow of fear and abuse is filled with love and a peace that “surpasses all understanding” (Philippians 4:7 ESV)! Pray that this family will grow in their faith and share the good news with the Honey People around them.
