In The Daloka church in South Sudan, there is a woman who believed in the Lord Jesus some two years ago. When she became a believer in Christ, her husband would harass her and beat her. Here is her testimony:
“One day, my husband came home and he was so drunk, I began to pray. As I prayed, he became angry and threatened to divorce me if I did not leave that man called Jesus, seeing this as prostitution and telling me that I could not love two men at a time.
I told him that I would remain with Jesus. Although I have never seen Him, He is so real in my life. He died for me. I told my husband that even if he loved me, he could never die for me. My husband was so bitter that I had made such a statement that he left me and went back to the Nuba mountains.
I continued to pray and learn about God, but my heart was totally broken. I was wondering what I could do to get my husband back. My brother also prayed with me. I owned some land, and I gave the land to the church so that the church could build a building for worship. All the time, I was praying that my husband would take me back, not refusing me to having Jesus Christ.
One day, two men came and began sharing with me the booklets concerning God. I felt that this was what I needed to be able to share Christ with my husband. After telling my brother to pray for me, I went to the Nuba mountains, searching for my husband.
When I finally found him, he was worse than ever. The devil had made him believe in so many lies. I began by loving him and then reading to him the booklets which were given to me. Slowly, my husband started to love me and drank less alcohol. When I prayed in the house, my husband no longer yelled at me.
Then, one evening, my husband knelt down in front of me, and asked me to forgive him for mistreating me so bad. He asked me if I could give to him Jesus Christ. I hugged him and we cried together. I forgave him and I shared with him the love of God. My husband and I now talk together and pray together. When I told him about the land that I had given to the church, he was happy.
My husband and I are now back in the camp. We thank God for having made us what we are today. Thank you for these booklets. They have made it so easy for me to share with others. We understand the stories, and are now sharing them with others.”
