Welcome back to No Longer Nomads. Join host Josh Doyle as he talks to Osman Jama.
What’s it like to be raised Muslim, and then encounter the radical love of Jesus? From escaping war-torn Somalia, to surviving refugee camps, to secretly attending church in the U.S. Osman’s journey is both harrowing and filled with hope. In this episode, he shares about the cost of following Jesus, the family he lost, and the life he found in Christ.
This is one of the most powerful testimonies we’ve ever heard. Share it with someone who needs hope today.
