Special Update
From Islam to Christianity
(Editors Note: We have changed the names of those
involved in this story in order to protect them.)
One of our workers, brother A was traveling on a bus a while back
and found himself sitting next to a Muslim by the name of C. This
man explained his Muslim beliefs to brother A and in turn brother
A decided to take a chance and explain his Christian beliefs. He
then gave C a couple of booklets, the Golden One Hundred and
another booklet about Islam and Christianity.
Several months later we received an e-mail from C containing an amazing story. We are going to simply share the letters we have received from brother C so that you can share our joy in this wonderful conversion and join us in prayer for this brother.
Also, a special thank you to everyone who sent love offerings for this brother. Thanks to your gifts he was able to pay his hospital bills and the burial fees for his wife. He is also attempting to establish a small business to support himself and two children.

Dear brother Rick,
Thanks for you support to make word of God move. Truly all those request testimonies is because of your support and me. Praise God! Happy to inform you that we met with brother C and three others. They are truly thirsty of the word of God, truly they have got it. They need 2 tracts (ONE GOD ONE people, Islamic & Christianity) and Golden 100 booklet. Each copy they need at least 200. They told me that they have many friend whom by grace of God, praying to get the present truth. It is a big task to me and all fellow SDR movement. They want this mission work as soon as possible. This need total prayer. God is working and we have to do our work. This is God’s work, I can’t say that there is something special which I did to get men turn to God. It’s the Holy Spirit on control to who are truly searching plain truth.
What advise brother.. can help?
The
D_____ people are waiting likewise C and their team also. All need
tracts and golden 100. They are all important for the sake of
lives. Tough situation, God is watching how we are going to handle
it. This shows how work is still big.
Praying .......
Brother A
Thanks so much Man of God. Indeed you directed me to the real man of God we have talked to. It forced me to go his home and I really enjoyed the welcome and the teaching I got. We were with some of our colleague. We talked at length but it seem as if our eager to get this books will wait for a number of unknown. I was thinking that we could done this mission by next week but brother A told me that he don't have enough to do it right away.
My humble pray to you and fellow there, can you try in all means so that I can get those books. I've confess to fellow Islamic and want to come out with many if not to get the present truth. Please! please! please! help us God will reward you.
Please
take me as a brother in faith not a Muslim. My heart is really
burning because of this truth. Brother gave me, us one Golden100.
But I need more than 200 copies. I want to say goodby to Islamic
leaving them with the reason why I left. Waiting to hear sweet
promises/words toward this.
Regards
C
Thank
you so much brother. It was a blessed days from Thursday to day.
There are men of God who are inspired. We really got what we have
been waited. Brother A came with a lot of tracks and golden 100
booklets. We really appreciate good coordination. I want to say
again thanks. To my humble request is that, please don't let as
alone we are still young and need more clarifications. I want to
tell all my friends who are still in Muslim to come out from great
Babylon . It is a tough situation but I know the Almighty Father
will guide me in the right directions keep us all in your prayers.
What I came to learn from brother A is that God is using him so
much and more people need his attentions. He told me that he will
travel to D_____ on Monday for mission work. praying, praying,
please don't leave us.
Regards,
C
Dear brother Rick,
I want to say thanks allot for your support. I met brother C and other brethren from Islamic, after along discussion and giving out tracks and golden 100, I gave them a lot of courage, Biblical truth and promise them that we are with them and will continue communicating and visiting if I get time. They were very happy to see us just wanting to help them in prayers. You can understand how leaving Islamic to Christianity is not easy but by grace of God we can see how the Holy Spirit is working.
As I told you the journey to D____ I found a high welcome. They were very much happy to see me having Golden 100 and a lot of tracts to them. We had 3 different places of meeting. God help us and we finished well and we really see the hand of God.
There
is power in printed pages. It can enter where we sometimes can't
reach. And the Holy Spirit will work on them as we can see the
Islamic brethren. My message to you and brethren and sisters is to
continue keeping us in your knees. Even though we sometime get
strong challenges in this ministry but we should keep our effort
to minister to God’s people in this last days till our death.
Brethren here and D_____ sent their greetings to you and your
family. They said, they are praying to you and you too keep them
in your prayers.
More blessing to you and your family.
Brother A
To all brethren and sister, greeting in the name of Almighty Father. Thanks for your supports to help us got the Golden100 and some tracts. Indeed they are inspired. It was my desire to all brethren and sisters who were still in Islamic to know the plain truth. But Satan is not sleeping. The Islamic high priest gave a strong order that I should be killed. It forced me to hide even now am on the way to B____ to A's home to hide there for awhile planning to move to D_____ to stay there for some times. They have distributed those letters to every Islamic mosque.
The books you gave us I was trying to go door to door. Most of the people were asking then about Jesus and how Mohamed came to save, but they didn't have good reason to reply. From there is one of them told then that the whole problem is caused by me. Am just on a cafe and want to try to get where to sleep is when tomorrow morning planning to reach at brother A's home.
Now my first request is to pray for the tough situation am facing. Second if there is any body who can help financially because I still don't know how I will end. I have a family and 2 kids.
PLEASE!!
PLEASE!!
Help praying, so that even those who are interesting of killing me
know the truth. Send to any church member you might know.
Brother C
Dear brother Rick,
Thanks in advance. I'll let you know if I've received it.
Brother, thank you for your prayers. Today I got a shocking news. Brother C came to me along with his wife and two children at my home. Very fearful, trembling, don't have peace. All because he decided to follow Jesus and left Islamic. He told me that the Islamic high priest has offered to kill him and his family. Simply because they are saying that he has betrayed them by teaching about Jesus. He is not settled, he is just afraid that may be one could report him to any Islamic around. He is planning to move to D_____ to hide there for some month. Please also keep them on your knees too.
This,
reminds me of what Jesus said in Matt. 10:34-39, not peace but a
sword. Only prayer and faithfulness will lead us to eternity.
Brother A
Thank you dear brethren and sisters in Christ, for you prayers. It will force me to be off of phone and internet for some times simply for my safety. I reached D_____ yesterday through help of brother A. Just a special request to any one who can help me financially because I've to start a new life here. I left most of my belongings and life must continue.
I
thank God brother, A has help me a lot encouraging me so much,
more so even my present here is because of his support. Please if
brethren and sister can have something small, I would kindly
request all to be sent through brother A I know I will receive it
safely. Keep helping praying God knows why all this happen to me.
Very humble waiting for positive response.

I want first thank you for the good support you gave us which saws light and fire in most of the islamic brethren and of course which made me flees and hide for a duration not known here in D_____. Is well am in D______ but because of unexpected events, made me and my family to get refuge here. It is because of God's sake. I want to thank brother A so much for the support he made to be here. He did it silently and forced me to change my name.
Now brother, because I didn't take most of my
properties am not in good position to keep going with life. Am
really praying that may the Holy Spirit speaks in your heart and
friends over there to help me financially to get how I can start
small business to help the family. I do know that you can
understand the tough situation am going in the foreign land. I
