DOVE Mission Africa’s workers in an Islamic community, W and W, guided several young men to Christ. With diligent and deliberate discipleship, one of the wives has also come to the Lord. Ladies from the village visited the home to dissuade the wife from embracing the Christian faith. She did not give in. They beat her up and left her lying unconscious on the ground.

When someone found her, they called the missionaries, who took her to the nearest clinic. Praise God, she came back to consciousness and recovered after several days in the hospital. The family continues to stand for the Lord.

Another family in the community “gave” W and W their daughter to take care of, take to school, and teach in the ways of “their” religion. To keep this teenage girl safe from backlash and from being married off, W and W have enrolled her in a boarding school.

“It is a real battle,” W says. “The fight between light and darkness is being staged right in front of our eyes. We have decided not to hide behind development projects. The community knows that we are Christians who are here to share our faith. We challenge ourselves to tell someone in the village about Christ every week. It is time to take the Kingdom!” 

A German documentary is being released in the coming months, and the filmmakers highlighted The Justice Project’s outreach café and their work assisting women in the prostitution industry. The Justice Project’s team gave insight to the complex situations that their clients are in and the controversial issues surrounding legalized prostitution. 

Since the beginning of the pandemic, The Justice Project’s counseling center has assisted many clients. Women who don’t qualify for social assistance have no choice but to keep working the streets. This results in hefty fines from local police patrols. It’s a vicious cycle that drives women deeper into poverty-driven prostitution. The Justice Project is actively seeking solutions with city officials.

Justin and Rawan Shrum lead The Justice Project in Germany.
