A Family Transformed

Aida* heard a voice speaking loudly from across the busy village market. Immediately, the message captured her interest. She abandoned the market stall to listen closer.

Aida saw Taye*, an Evangelist you partner with, surrounded by a small group listening to every word. He was joyfully proclaiming the Gospel in the midst of the bustling market. Aida couldn’t believe what he was saying—that someone named Jesus loved her unconditionally and offered eternal life for whoever follows Him.

For the weeks that followed, God used the message from the evangelist to capture Aida’s heart. She wanted to know more, but was scared. Where she lived, leaving behind the traditional faith can be very dangerous. She’d heard stories of churches getting destroyed and Christians being attacked, or even killed. Despite these risks, Aida found herself at the market each week hoping to see Taye again. Months later, she finally found him! Aida boldly approached Taye and told him she wanted to follow Jesus. She was then connected with a church about an hour away.

As she grew in her faith, Aida completely transformed as a person. She kept her new beliefs a secret from her family in fear that they’d reject her. But her brother clearly saw the change in Aida and asked what had happened. Within a week he came with her to church and accepted Christ. Within a year, their parents also became believers!

Now, Aida’s brother serves as a Pastor of a church. Your support in the Evangelist Taye transformed an entire family and generations to come!
