My name is Awad A…. I grew up as a Muslim in a very extreme Muslim family. In 2018 I have seen the light of Christ through Pastor Adam. My wife and I accepted the Lord as our personal Lord and Savior. From the time we live our Christian faith, we have seen great things that the Lord has done. Most of our extended family came to know Christ through us. They have found that the only solution for their many problems is Jesus Christ. My wife was a student at Z… University. She had a lot of friends from different areas. We shared the word of God with her colleagues who used to come at our home.
God has blessed us with a group of students from ____ with this group, God made miracles. God changed most of their families. That gave me an encouragement that Darfur will definitely change one day one time. We have lived a very happy life since the time we accepted the Lord. Though we faced terrible persecution.
I lost my brother because of his faith, and one was shot with Muslim gunmen they were killing him, but God spared his life. Many of our relatives excommunicated us. They do not come to our home when we have any occasion of happiness or sorrow. The worst part was the day the owner of the house I was renting knew that we had converted to Christianity. He immediately terminated my contract and brought my money back. It was in rain season. He came and told us we must leave his house immediately. We had no option but to move. I asked my wife to pray to God, our provider, and He is going to provide us with our needs.
We were praying, and as we finished, my brother came from nowhere. He asked, “What is happening? I could see you removed everything out.” I told him that the owner needs his house back. He said, “I think it’s God’s will that you will not continue to live here. I even came here to tell you that to find someone to leave him in my house, I am travelling to Khartoum, and it will take some time. I may not come back soon. So let me go and get Tutuk and take your things there.” So he went and brought Tuktuk, and we carried our things into his home. We were there until the war broke out in Z…. Then we have to leave the house again without carrying a single thing. We ran for our lives. RSF immediately moved in, and they stayed there up to today.
We moved back and forth to areas of ____ and K… It was terrible, we can see a hundred people a head of us but after a second we see no one is there and we wouldn’t know where they have gone. Bombs are falling everywhere, and shellings are crossing between armie. On top of this, when we move to someone’s home. Early in the morning, he wakes us up to pray about Islamic prayers, and we tell them we are Christians. Now, in the morning, no one greets until we greet them.
We prayed to God we cried to Jesus, and he answered our prayers through CRM. By His grace, we moved from Z… to N…. I want to say that CRM people are an example of a good Christian. I have received 62 Bibles from CRM, I have also received some help in real time, and I thank God so much about CRM people. Their help changed many people’s lives, physically and spiritually. This is exactly what it means to live love out. My prayers for CRM people are that may they lack nothing as they continue serving the Lord through his people.
Please pray for us. The war in N.. is still continued, and life is under real threat. We are hardly getting our daily bread. Medicine is a big issue. We are witnessing the death of young ones daily. Please pray for our brothers and sisters who are in N… Some of them we have not heard from them up to today.
