(ny-ROH-bee) – “There is no peace,” Ann said. She lives as a refugee in Nairobi, Kenya. In her life, she has been abused and forced to leave her home. She was desperate to provide for her family. One Thursday after Bible study, Ann shared her story with a group of women, and there was not a dry eye in the small room. The other women were recalling their own trauma while helping Ann to carry her burden. It was a time of grief, but in that moment, the Lord gave joy as Ann surrendered her life to Christ. A few months later, she was baptized. Ann’s life and even her countenance has totally changed since that day when she desperately reached out for help and hope. She speaks of how the Holy Spirit gives her strength through reminding her of truth from the Bible. It is beautiful to see the Lord working in her life and transforming her into a new creation! Ann testifies that through Christ, she has peace. Pray that Ann and other refugees like her will daily find peace in knowing Christ. Pray that Bible studies will continue to give refugee women a place to come and learn about Christ.
