Elder Evangelist Still “Longs to Go for Outreach”

Even though Ibrahim came to faith in Christ more than 50 years ago, he has lost none of his zeal for ministry. He has been a passionate evangelist, sharing the gospel among ethnic Somalis and planting more than 20 churches. His ministry work has come at great cost, however, as most Somalis believe that to be Somali is to be Muslim. Therefore, those who faithfully serve Christ or convert from Islam in Somali communities face severe persecution. Still, Ibrahim has been a bold witness for Christ among Somalis despite risks. After front-line workers visited Ibrahim for a time of fellowship, they gave an encouraging report on his condition, including notable improvement in his hearing ability. “As always, he still longs to go for outreach and ministry work in the hostile areas he labored in when he was younger, not considering the health condition that has come with his old age,” a worker shared.
