Abandoned for Becoming a Christian

When Hajarah’s faith cost her everything — her husband, her home, even her children’s safety — the local church stepped in to help rewrite her story.

From Rejection to Redemption: Hajarah’s Story of Hope

Abandoned by her husband for becoming a Christian, Hajarah and her children were forced to live in the bush. They endured sickness, suffered from the elements and lost hope. Then God sent help through a Compassion church partner in Uganda. 

“But now there is great hope in Hajarah’s family. The mere fact that they’re in the program alone, that was the first hope.” 

Abandoned for Christ
