Having learned that he had left Islam to become a Christian, Somali militants from the Islamic extremist al Shabaab murderd 41-year-old Mohammed Ahmed Ali. Ali’s wife Hassan said she received threatening calls from members of al Shabaab on Jan. 3 saying, “We know your home and that you are a follower of the Christians, and we are going to kill you the way we killed your husband.” Hassan fled for Kenya early the next morning by bus with her only child, 2-year-old son Abdi Asis Mohammed Ahmed, arriving at Nairobi on Jan. 20.

Pray for Hassan and her 2-year-old son, and for the underground church in Somalia.
