Sharing
the God of love with Muslims
Quotable:
“God has called us to go to these people …”
“He
went to Iraq to live among a people who needed to know Jesus’
story. He did not go to Iraq to die. The dying had been done
years before, when he gave his life to Jesus Christ and he
died to self. He went to Iraq to live.” -- a co-worker
of David McDonnall, recently slain IMB aid worker in Iraq,
speaking at McDonnall’s memorial service

A
princess finds the One
who can save her from fear
She
is considered a princess because she is a descendant of the
first Muslim missionary to come to this Southeast Asian country.
Her forefathers have been tribal and religious leaders for
many generations. Her grandmother is a respected folk healer.
She grew up studying in the madrassa (a Muslim religious
school). After she finished college, she met a business friend
who began to share about Jesus. The two friends had many heated
debates about their different beliefs. Then one night she
had a dream that the evil one was chasing her. In her dream
she rebuked him in the name of Jesus and was released from
her fear. When she awoke she asked “Why is the name of Jesus
so powerful? Why His name?” Shortly after, she surrendered
her life to the One who could save her from fear. She testifies,
“I cannot explain the joy I have in my heart with Jesus in
my life!” She now wants to carry this message of joy to her
people. Pray that she will have wisdom and boldness to be
a light to her community.
