Growing up in a very conservative Muslim family made me suspicious of everyone, including relatives and close friends!
My father taught us that trusting others is dangerous. Personal information, especially, could be used against us. Therefore, we chose to lie to others over telling the truth.
Then I met James, an English teacher at the university. He would often invite me to his home to practice English with his wife and children. We had a deep conversations about religion, culture and relationships. He was kind, honest and trustworthy both in private and in public.
He told me that Jesus had changed his and his wife’s life for the better and that Jesus could make my life better too. So I started to trust and follow Jesus. Even though it took a long time to see the effects of the change, James has been helping me to learn and grow in my faith since that day until today.
Prayer Request
- Pray that Jesus would work in many Muslims that they would dare to make a decisive decision to trust Him with all their heart. Pray that they would know Jesus and they would be able to live in trust and without fear.
- Pray that the Lord would give His people a burden to share the gospel with the Muslims around them, and may many Muslims become disciples of Jesus.
