We have had the opportunity to host two new friends from South Africa who are staying at Saddleback as part of a pastor's conference. The pastors have come from ALL over the world! What a testimony of God's faithfulness to bring all nations to himself.
We were speaking with our new friends last night, and they shared with us an interesting piece of news that we had never heard before. The son of the leader of an extremist Muslim group has become a Christian. He gave up everything in his country to turn to Christ. MANY want to kill him for forsaking Islam. He now lives in CA and is a powerful advocate of reaching Muslims for Christ. Please read the news story below and click on the link to watch an interview with him. It is very interesting. He is working on creating a website and a program that people can use when reaching Muslims. I will let you know what I find out!
Praise the Lord!
What better way to start the new year then to share with you a testimony of a son of a Hamas leader who has come to Christ and forsaken all to follow Him.
Today Fox News is reporting the story of Mosab Hassan Yousef, which also includes a video from August of 2008.
Yousef, 30, said he realized the true nature of Hamas and radical Islam during a stint in an Israeli prison. He renounced his Muslim faith, left his family behind in Ramallah and converted to Christianity.
"Islam is not the word of God," said Yousef. "If you want to be offended it's your problem. But you know something? Go study. Think for a second that I might be right. So wake up, look at your path, see where you're going. Are you really going to heaven with 72 virgins after you kill yourself and kill another 20 people?"
Yousef has sought asylum in the United States and now attends an evangelical Christian church on Barabbas Road in San Diego, Calif.
