Missionary Shares Challenges of Serving in Somaliland

A Kenyan missionary identified as 'Rebekah' has shared insights into her work in Somaliland, where she has served since November 2021. Supported by International Christian Concern, she operates as part of a team of four couples and several children, focusing on building relationships in a region where public evangelism is prohibited by law.

Rebekah explains that her ministry is primarily directed toward women and children, noting that the strict social structure in Somaliland often limits her ability to interact freely with local residents. She describes the environment as one of intense spiritual opposition, citing frequent encounters with individuals she characterizes as demon-possessed. Despite these difficulties, she continues to work toward sharing the gospel by fostering long-term trust and friendships within the community.
