My name is Suzanne from Benin. One side of my family was Christian and the other side Muslim. My mother was a Catholic. She would go to church, and I followed her when I was young. My father didn’t know Christ.
A time came when I didn’t go to church again with my mother and I followed this world, the things that are no good in my life.
My husband’s name is Yakugu, and he was a Muslim. I didn’t know Christ very well. I couldn’t share it with him. My life was very difficult. We were facing problems and didn’t have any peace. I was fighting with other people. I knew that it wasn’t good to live this way, but I didn’t know how to do differently.
We had been married 17 years when I met someone who shared Christ with me. I learned Jesus is the true way. I started sharing with my husband and prayed for him for a long time. One day, the DMM group leaders prayed for me.
My husband called me into the room. “We have followed Islam for nothing. Nothing changes. We have been going to the mallam to get powers, but our lives don’t change. But from the time you took Jesus as your savior, I see things changing. You are a hairdresser, and the work was falling down for a long time, but today I see the greatest things coming through you. I know this is the true way. I am a Muslim, but things aren’t going well for me. From this evening going, I accept Jesus as my personal savior and serve Him.”
That day, joy came into our family. Our children were very happy their father accepted Christ. I started teaching my husband. Today my husband is a leader in our country, always telling people about Jesus. We want to go into all the nations preaching Christ. Today my husband doesn’t get any rest without sharing Christ with Muslims; it is Jesus that is true. Because of this, the movement is going quickly in Benin. We know that this is what God has called us to go and do.
