Sudan: Abused Christian Mother Stands Firm in New Faith
(Worthy News) – A Sudanese refugee and Christian mother whose husband stabbed her for leaving Islam and putting her faith in Christ is reported to be standing firm in her new faith despite her family’s ongoing hostility and the challenge of living in a camp for displaced people, Morning Star News (MSN) reports.
Newly Christian since June, Halima Mohammed Ali is back with her five children and her husband in Gorom Refugee Settlement outside Juba, capital of South Sudan, MSN reports. The family had to leave their home last year because of the ongoing violent civil war in Sudan.
Ali was forced to leave her family briefly in September after her husband stabbed in her in the head but returned because she needs to take care of her children, the youngest of whom is not yet 2 years old. “I left him shortly after [the attack] but returned after a month to take care of the kids, though he still threatens me, that I return to Islam,” Ali told MSN. “But I refuse.”
In a separate statement to MSN, a local Christian leader said: “[Ali] asks for prayers to remain firm in her faith.”
In addition to facing the horrors of war, Sudanese Christians like Ali may be subjected to violence from their Islamic family members. “Those who convert to Christianity from Muslim backgrounds continue to face huge dangers. Some will even refrain from telling their children about Jesus, for fear they may inadvertently disclose their parents’ faith to the local community,” the Open Doors international Christian advocacy organization explains in a 2024 website report.
