The spiritual pilgrimage of Musa Abdullahi Yousif Sha ed Din: how one man led a Muslim clan to faith in Christ

In a large dilapidated house in Gereif, a southern section of Khartoum, an extended family of over a hundred members occupy a space probably intended for less than ten. The house fairly buzzes with the noise of women cooking, men conversing, and children playing. These are poor people, who live from day-to-day working in the suugs and on the streets of Khartoum as vendors and simple laborers. Among them is Musa Abdullahi Yousif Sha ed Din, a beloved family patriarch, referred to affectionately as Father Abdullahi. Presiding serenely on a rope bed in the center of the family courtyard where he is habitually ensconced, Abdullahi speaks with unfailing poise and good humor. Despite the many hardships and setbacks he has experienced, his faith in himself and the goodness of God seem entirely unshaken. Moreover, a revered spiritual leader, Abdullahi regularly dreams dreams, sees visions, and speaks boldly for the God that he has faithfully served throughout his sixty-eight years.
