Christian support service opens for Muslim converts facing abuse

Christian Concern says it's launching the 'Safe Haven' project to offer help to people who have faced abuse after leaving Islam.

It will also offer confidential advice and support to those considering leaving Islam and may even help individuals to relocate.

Former Muslim Nissar described the treatment he and his family received in Bradford after he became a Christian, speaking on Premier's 'News Hour', he said: "We were shunned, ex-communicated, maligned; we've had three cars written off at my pervious address.

"I mean we suffered for over seven years actually, and we were forced out of our last area. We've literally gone through a life and death situation."

Co-founder of Christian Concern and member of the Safe Haven team, Pastor Ade Omooba, welcomed the initiative, saying: "The compassion of Jesus Christ drives us. Love demands that we do not turn a blind eye but stand with those who want to leave Islam. We want to see people set free from fear.

"At Christian Concern, we have heard of these appalling experiences too often. Something needs to be done."

Nissar Hussai, former Muslim:

A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference

In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.

Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.

For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.

Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
