“… Seven of us-three western believers and those four local believers- met at a prearranged time in a privacy of an abandon shelled-out building in the heart of Mogadishu. Each of us coming alone from different directions. Once we gathered and affectionately greeted one another, my friend led in a time of prayer and fellowship. We shared a light meal together, then as Jesus’s followers have done for almost 2000 years, we shared the Lord’s supper in remembrance and celebration of Christ’s willing and the sacrificial death on the cross in our place and atonement for our sins.”~Nik Ripken
