Sparrow People of the Horn of Africa

A local believer recently met Hanan, a young Muslim woman, and gave her a kit containing feminine hygiene supplies. The believer shared her testimony with Hanan because she used to follow Islam before the Lord found her. Hanan excitedly received the hygiene kit as well as the woman’s testimony and wanted to know more about Jesus. The believer invited her to a house group, and surprisingly, when the group learned that Hanan was coming, they were upset and didn’t want her to join the group because she was known for her promiscuous behavior in the community. A leader shared with the group the story about the woman who was a sinner and who washed Jesus’ feet with her tears and expensive oil and how, ultimately, Jesus forgave her sins (Luke 7:36-50). Upon hearing the story, the group was moved to tears, repented of their Pharisaic hearts, and welcomed Hanan. Now she is a follower of Jesus Christ and wants to be baptized soon! Pray that God will grow Hanan in faith and that she will be a faithful witness to her family.
