About Us
The SEC runs the most dangerous area in the world for Christians to live, especially the indigenous people who suffer severe punishment if they are caught. The World Watch List- Open Doors 2024 https://www.opendoors.org/en-US/persecution/countries/ ranked Somalia 2nd in the top 50 countries where it is most difficult to follow Jesus or be a Christian and face the most extreme persecution.
Our Vision
In response to the grace of God, our vision is to live and share the love of Christ in our church and community, to glorify God.
Our Mission
Called by God, we seek to encourage, support and equip our members and the persecuted Somali believers in their walk with Christ.

Impact Stories
“We have recently learned that three devoted members of our church serving in Somalia were detained because of their Christian faith and work. However, they were freed, after a year in jail term. We appreciate your prayer support for this team to be released. Please continue praying for them as the government watches and radical Islamists are after them.”
Yahya Haneef, General Secretary
