From South Sudan and a man of a Muslim background:
“When I received these booklets, I started learning with lots of eagerness, wanting to learn much more in the booklets. I took three days reading these booklets. I was hungry to learn the word of God.
When I reached Lesson 43 and the beginning of the New Testament, I met the question which shakes all of the Islamic world: Was God ever born? Did God give birth to Himself? Did Mary give birth to God?
I paused a little bit because this is so unacceptable in Islam. God cannot be born, and yet, Christians claim that Mary is the mother of God.
I immediately left everything, found my uncle, and asked him this question. He slapped me and chased me away. Later, I asked him why do we say that we love Jesus, yet we do not really value him as Muslims?
My uncle wanted to know where I got the booklets from, and wanted them, but I could only give him a few as I was still reading them.
Later, I learned that the son of Mary is fully man and fully God, born without sin, and therefore, is able to save us.
Looking at my life, I saw all of the evil things I have done–fighting, smoking, and raping children. I knew that I needed a person who could save me. The guilt was too much and I surrendered my life to Christ. Now, I have great peace and I want to share the story with my family. The booklets are lovely.”
Pray that the Mooro tribe will hear the salvation of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
