This is from a young man from the Leera tribe in South Sudan:
“All of my family used to be Muslims. Many of the people I know are Muslims. As a Christian, I wanted to share God’s Word, but we were not allowed to preach the Gospel nor could we walk into the area with a Bible. If we would have done so, the chief would have banned us from the area, and would have killed anyone who would have listened to us.
When I came to have my exams and attended the teaching of the chronological booklets, I grew tremendously. I decided to share God’s Word using the booklets and their stories. The stories have touched a lot of people, and the people have responded to the point to where we now have Bible study.
The Muslim chief has been threatening us, yet the people greatly enjoy the booklets and want us to continue to teach them. Among them is an elderly imam (Islamic leader) who said this:
‘Now, I believe in Jesus as the Son of God. I believe that all men have lost their holiness because of sin. I need the holiness of Jesus and I believe in His holiness. I will not go to the mosque again as it is no help.’
Keep praying with us to be more bold to share the word of God. Pray for the Kaunyaru tribe and their chief.”
