Mat<strong>the</strong>w 16:24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone<br />
would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his<br />
cross and follow me.”<br />
<strong>Somali</strong> Believers can be found in different areas of <strong>the</strong><br />
country, and it is a beautiful experience to meet <strong>the</strong>m. They<br />
are often secret believers who live out <strong>the</strong>ir faith privately<br />
and are not aware of where or who <strong>the</strong> o<strong>the</strong>r believers are.<br />
Their clans or families often persecute anyone who makes<br />
a commitment to follow Jesus. It is quite common to hear<br />
of people being killed or tortured because of a decision to<br />
change <strong>the</strong>ir faith; so <strong>Somali</strong> believers have a tremendous<br />
fear of being discovered when <strong>the</strong>y make a commitment to<br />
<strong>the</strong> Christian faith.<br />
One of <strong>the</strong> recent highlights in <strong>Somali</strong>a was <strong>the</strong> opportunity<br />
that some of <strong>the</strong> Christians had to ga<strong>the</strong>r <strong>for</strong> a reconciliation<br />
prayer event, where <strong>the</strong>y were able to meet and fellowship<br />
with o<strong>the</strong>r believers from different clans and areas. It was<br />
powerful to see how <strong>the</strong>y talked about <strong>the</strong>ir hurts and faults<br />
and how people from different Clans entered into a special<br />
time of <strong>for</strong>giving each o<strong>the</strong>r.<br />
These believers are very precious in <strong>the</strong> sight of <strong>the</strong> Fa<strong>the</strong>r<br />
who takes delight in <strong>the</strong>m. Jesus himself is interceding day<br />
and night <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong>m, that <strong>the</strong>ir faith will not be stopped.<br />

Mark 10:28 Peter said to him, “We have left<br />
everything to follow you!”<br />
I believe that <strong>the</strong> <strong>Somali</strong> believers who were able to <strong>for</strong>give what<br />
was done to <strong>the</strong>m by o<strong>the</strong>r <strong>Somali</strong> clans, have a strong calling<br />
and anointing to bring reconciliation to o<strong>the</strong>r people groups and<br />
countries.<br />
Mat<strong>the</strong>w 4:19 “Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you<br />
fishers of men.”<br />
Pray <strong>for</strong> <strong>Somali</strong> MBBs to grow in grace, strength and wisdom<br />
Pray that <strong>the</strong>y would have wisdom to plant seeds of faith in<br />
<strong>the</strong> hearts of <strong>the</strong>ir families and friends and that whole families<br />
and clans will become followers<br />
Pray that <strong>the</strong>y can follow <strong>the</strong> call to become fishers of men<br />
<strong>the</strong>mselves<br />
