NAIROBI, Kenya — A mother of two young children in Somalia was forced to leave them behind after her husband seriously injured her upon learning that she had left Islam for Christianity, she said.

Thirty-year-old Fatuma (whose surname is being withheld for security reasons), put her trust in Christ on Oct. 15 at an underground church service in an undisclosed village in northwest Somalia’s Mudug Region. She fled her home and children, ages 4 and 6, after her husband beat her on Dec. 8, she said.

“I miss my children, but I cannot go back to my husband because he will kill me,” Fatuma told Morning Star News. “I live in great pain due to my fractured hand and serious scars which have disfigured my face, as well as a stressful life of being absent from my children. I have forgiven my husband and am praying for God to change his life. I am very hurt and need prayers to heal my broken heart.”
