A Muslim man was disowned by his family for placing his faith in Christ after his daughter’s miraculous healing. Moussa, 65, was a devout Muslim until around five years ago when his daughter began experiencing severe abdominal pain. After seeking the aid of imams and local physicians without success, Moussa prayed to Christ for his daughter’s healing. His wife, Safia, had been a follower of Christ for more than three decades, consistently praying for her husband’s salvation. At one point, Moussa had even kicked her out of their home because of her Christian faith. After Moussa prayed for his daughter, she was healed. “I could not deny that God is truly and only found in Christianity,” he said. He joyfully shared the Good News with his Muslim family, who disowned him for his witness. Front-line workers share that though Moussa is heartbroken from his family’s rejection, he is full of the joy of the Lord.<\/p>\n
