Three South Asian Men Receive J

It has been exciting to see the Father at work the past several weeks. We were blessed to see 3 men renounce their Isl*mic faith and turn to receive J as their L*rd and Savi*r. Their story is heart warming. These three men grew up in a South Asian country that is predominately M*slim. They were born and raised in a M*slim family. Several years ago, they were given the opportunity to study Chr*stianity through a m*nistry that offers extension courses. For the past several months they have been visiting family in Europe and in our city. One day they felt compelled to visit a local fellowship here in our city to learn more about our beliefs. The leader of the fellowship could not communicate with them because of the language barrier. The leader contacted one of our friends who serves with a sister organization and who was born and raised in the same country as these three seekers. We started meeting with these men every week. In our meetings we would explain the g*spel and answer their questions. After several meetings, they all decided that they wanted to become followers of J. Two weeks ago they were b*ptized at a local fellowship. The tension was high during the service. The leader of the fellowship had received threats from M*slims in the community who said that they were going to cause problems if the fellowship went forward with the baptisms. Each of the three men stood up and shared with the fellowship the change that the Father had brought into their lives. All of the men said that they will follow J no matter what happens- even if they are killed. They were then immersed into the b*ptism waters. It was a special day. In a few weeks, these men will be going back to their home country. Pr@y that the Father would provide protection from those who would seek to bring harm to these men. Pr@y that the Father would open up doors for them to share the g*spel in their home country.


*Unfortunately, I cannot provide the names or the pictures of these men due to security concerns.
