From a former Muslim in South Sudan:
“For Muslims, Ramadhan is the month of grace. This month, however, is now very different for me as I am no longer fasting, but rather, rejoicing in my freedom from darkness.
Islam is so dark and many do not know it. In this world, there is only light or darkness, Christ or Mohammed. From birth, I have struggled, wanting to know the truth. Then, I came upon some booklets in my own Borana language.
At first, I thought that they were just for kids. I read, however, the first lesson, got interested, and continued to read them. I discovered answers to my many questions.
I discovered where sin came from. I also discovered who the Savior is, and it is not the prophet Mohammed. The booklets also taught me who Jesus is. He is the plan of God to return us to Him. He is the true Savior.
Islam does not want us to know the truth. Islam teaches us to kill so that we can inherit seven virgins and a river of alcohol when we reach heaven. The God of the Bible, however, does not want us to kill. God wants us to love one another. God does not want us not to be false witnesses. God wants us to love Him with all of our hearts.
I have read the booklets along with my brother who also used to be a muslim. For the first time in my life, I visited a church, was prayed for, and felt true love from the pastor. I have given my life to Christ and am now God’s son. I no longer fast for Ramadhan because I am a new creation. All of my sins have been paid for at the cross, and I am now a child of light.”
