Dear Pastors and Friends,
I suspect that even among solid, Bible-loving believers there are those who feel there’s no point in attempting to evangelize Muslims. After all, their way of thinking, their beliefs, and sometimes their actions seem so different from ours. Add to that the extreme hostility of some in Islam, and various believers might conclude, “They will never change. Their hearts are too hardened to accept spiritual truth.”
However! Our church planter, Sasha, and his family live in a Muslim land, and he gives testimony that this is not true, at least not for every Muslim. As he meets people in the community and interacts with them, it’s not unusual for people to express curiosity about the Bible. They ask questions. Some accept invitations to Bible studies. Some with marital or other problems recognize Sasha’s sincere love for the Lord and ask him and his wife to pray for them. And, praise the Lord, some of these folks have felt the Holy Spirit’s calling in their heart and embraced Christ as Savior!
In addition to Sasha’s in-person ministries, he also leads a number of people to the Lord through an online ministry. But rather than go into all these details myself, the following short video presents Sasha sharing his heart for Muslims along with some news updates from his outreaches among them. We hope you will watch and praise the Lord for those who go to make Christ known and for those who embrace Him!
