From Darkness to Light

It has been of great joy to recently hear from a number of dear souls; who grew up in Muslim families; who have found the life-giving Saviour; and have come to know the significant change Jesus Christ brings into a life, as the Gospel comes …

“To open their eyes, [and] to turn [them] from darkness to light, and [from] the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.” (Acts 26)

One brother in Christ we met in Solihull.  F could not speak English well, but through interpretation we heard how he grew up in Iran, but has recently come to follow Christ.  We took some details and were able to send him some Christian literature in Farsi.

A few weeks later, one of our Reaching Muslims summer team from last year, again made contact with a young woman.  We had met her in the City Centre last summer, and had a good discussion.  Contact since has been very limited, but this time she opened up to say she was now following Christ, and though the journey had been difficult, Jesus Christ had been with her.  Unfortunately, she is suffering persecution from her family and friends, and has to be very careful.  She said she now realises that her choice is either Christ or her family, and is not going to give up her Saviour.  Pray for this young sister in Christ in the difficult steps she will face in coming months.

However, we remember we have a great Saviour, and we praise His name for the blessing of salvation.
