Hajira
Naiwumbwe
Below is the testimony of Hajira
Naiwumbwe a 32 year old single mother of 4 children.
"I was a single lady and a Muslim. I lived
in despair locking myself in my home not wanting to come out for any
reason. I was so depressed that I want only to die. Very early after my
marriage when I would be walking with my husband he would run up to
other women to court them as Muslim men are permitted to do as they may
have many wives. I didn't like this which made my husband angry so he
abandoned me. So I was separated from my husband with no means of
support and 4 children. I had no job and so I found no reason to keep
living.
Then one day my friend Susan came to visit
me. She told me about the festival that was coming soon to our town. She
said I may find some hope if I would only go there to hear the message.
So I did go to the Festival on the very first night and I listened to
the preacher from U.S. He told about Jesus and how He can save me so
when he asked me to come to the platform I went and prayed for Jesus to
make me born again.
Now that Christ is in me I have now peace of
mind. I still have times when I get attacked by despair but when that
happens I now sing a song of praise to the Lord and I regain my peace
and joy!"
