CHRISTIANS

A Muslim Semi-Professional in Middle East in forties:
I like to read the Bible. Please send me one secretly. The prophecies of Jesus in Isaiah are very
meaningful to me. I want to make a decision to be Christian but now it is very dangerous for me. I and
wife have been baptized in secret. Tell me how to pray to the Christian God.
Muslim Professional in Spain in twenties:
Can you send me Bible? I'm Muslim but I and my friends decided to turn in to Christianity. I wonder
about God's work and started to read Bible.
Muslim Semi-Professional in Middle East in twenties:
I am very impressed with this story and very sad for Jesus. I wish I can return in time and be beside him.
I learned to love Jesus. Jesus is the truth and no one can deny this. Lifting him from death was truth
and not imagination. Jesus is truth and peace from the beginning until the end of the world. Jesus lifted
from death to be on the right side of God.
Muslim Professional in Middle East in thirties:
I don't have any experience with BIBLE with a Muslim background….I know that Jesus came to fulfill the
Old Testament and have a perfect life but honestly I did not know that there are such details related
between Jesus and the plan of God…. I am so glad I did it with the right way because I do not want to
reject God’s purpose. I am proud that I changed my whole belief about Christ and became Christian
even though that was against everybody I know and I became threatened to die for my belief but I know
even if I die that will be the door for my eternal life through faith in Jesus Christ.
Muslim Professional in Middle East in sixties:
Jesus Christ the Son of God is the Lord and Savior. God revealed himself to people through his Son.
Jesus had the power and heart of God, and had the power on earth to forgive sins.
Muslim Professional in Middle East in fifties:
I believe and I agree that the earth and sky was begun by God, and it can be ended by God. I believe in
the Muslim Suras… I learned that Jews do not believe in every thing the Old Testament says…. Jesus is
prophet and savior, even I as a Muslim is ordered by Allah to believe in Jesus Miracles by the power of
God…. I learnt through the lessons that God makes repentance for all people and that because Jesus
sacrificed for sake of all people… I hope you understand my position I started to feel that I am very close
to what you have taught me, no body forces me to be satisfied with any thing but that I am satisfied. I am
ready to meet any Christian you send to me.
Muslim Semi-Professional in Middle East in twenties:
This is the first time I saw the Quran in the English language. I was Shocked! I want to know more about
Jesus Christ.
Muslim Semi-Professional in Middle East in thirties:
Many times recently I felt very devastated because of my situation. But when I look to the daily scripture,
I see myself there and it refreshes my faith. At the beginning I asked my self why everything collapsed in
my life when I became Christian. But from the Bible I knew the answer. The reason is not because I am
weak, but because I am a new fighter for God. And I became so strong in Satan's eyes and he became so
terrified that he tried to do his best to discourage me. So I smiled and told him do his best .... ultimately I
will win because I have God with me.
Muslim Professional in the Middle East in forties:
The security force captured me due to faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, Saviour of the World. The
authorities and prisoners in jail did many bad behaviours with me because of showing faith in the Lord
Jesus Christ. Sometimes they threatened me to die if I don’t refuse my faith. Sometimes I tolerate the
persecution. I died on cross of my pride. I will tell the faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God. And
other believers will take courage and be strong to their faith.
Muslim Semi-Professional in Europe in thirties:
I lived with the Muslim religion all my life, but as I got older, I was not convinced it was right. Several
years ago I got a Bible and read many Bible scriptures without the help of anyone. I was very touched by
the history of Jesus, his life and his death. When I read the details of the crucifixion, I wept. In 2001, I
met some Christians who explained things in the scriptures on salvation, and all that I had read before
was more clear. I was baptized and now live in _______. I am faithful in the Church of Christ.
A FORMER MUSLIM’S STORY
I was born in a family that belonged to the Sunni Muslim sect. The area I was raised in was the Shi-ite Muslim sect.
So I was able to be exposed to the whole Muslim community ~ secular, Sunni and Shi'ite.
I tried to be an especially good Muslim. Sometimes I followed the Sunnis. But when I became dissatisfied with them, I
flipped to the Shi-ites. Eventually I discarded both. I just couldn't communicate with my Allah and approach him
because he was so scary:
A god commanding that hands or arms be cut off as punishment, or beheading.
A god who commands racism and oppression or killing of anyone who opposes him.
A god who shows favoritism to men and deprives the women of rights.
A god who changed his words [Qu’ran] many times.
A god who asks you to send your son to blow himself up, taking innocent lives with him for his pleasure.
I couldn't find a replacement, so I gave up since there were not enough resources or freedom to study or search. But
my personality from inside was deeply wounded because I was missing something. I always felt a "Mysterious Power"
was taking care of me. So I started to ask that Power to reveal himself to me. I was playing with fire because I was
questioning everything in my culture.
Then I got my first study BIBLE. It was in both Arabic and English.
The thing that caught my attention is what was underlined ~ John 8:32 ("Then you will know the truth and the truth will
set you free"). That was just a new challenge. But I kept wondering what is the truth. Is it historical fact, or scientific
fact, or something else? I knew there was no absolute truth.
Still I wanted to know the truth to be free because that was my first concern,. Later I found another interesting thing
about the truth in the same gospel ~John 14:6 ("Jesus answered, 'I am the way and the truth and the life. No one
comes to the father except through me.' ") That was an amazing theory.
Then I started to pray to the Christian God to reveal himself to me and show me the right teaching I was looking for ~
the teaching based on love, peace, freedom. The teaching that makes you proud to be a human being, to be treated
with respect and dignity.
Then I discovered another verse in Jeremiah 29:11 (" 'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord. 'Plans
to prosper you, not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future.' ")
I went to the Church and I asked...to baptize me...by immersion. I was happy because in my opinion this time I knew
what I did was based on God's rules. Basically the church I attend shared with me more or less the same doctrine
like baptism by immersion, confession, faith, repentance, unity, keeping the Lord's Supper, contributing, and the
Bible as the only guide. Thank you, Jesus, for your blood that freed me from my sin and reconciled me again with
God the father.
