We had a speaker today for school and he is a missionary in the Middle East. The first story he told us was about this Muslim guy who was a follower of Bin laden and wanted to kill every American he ever met. He showed us a pic of him and there was so much hate in his eyes . . . well he said that God just told him to love this man when he me him and show him God's love as well . . . now this man is a Christian and is leading people to Christ all over there. He has been in jaill 4 times becuase of it. The most reccent ail time he had been talking to a government official there about Jesus, the official was so astonished that he would give up his hardcore Muslim ways for Jesus. When the man went in for his court date, the official showed up as his atourney and was able to get him out!
Another story he shared was about a baptist school they started in Kabul. All of the higher ups there sent their children to the school, not because of its religion, but becuase they know their children will get a good education there. Well whenour speaker first me the children in a assembly he told them about God and what they were doing there and asked for any questions. He immediatley got bombarded with hateful things about how they thought America was horrible and 9-11 was a great day for them. He got angry of course and was speechless but God told him to love them and reach in his pocket. In his pocket wa a pic of his children. He changed the subject and told them about his family and passed the pic around. The students were all happy to see his family and were excited as he told them that next year he would bring his children with him to the school. They cheered. Then he said when they got there they could kill them. The room got silent. He pointed at various students and said would you do it? You all just said you hated Americans and wanted to kill us? They then were saying no no no we know you now! They then understood, you need a relatioship. Following this it opened their hearts to the word of God and students all over the school came to Christ, of course without their parents knowledge.
I just think this was so cool that he could go over there and preach to these people who want to kill us and hate us and be able to use that for good and bring them to God!
