Picture 96 Everyday I read so many stories about Christian persecution and some days I find a gem of an article that I reread and think upon.  Today is one of those days and so I have to share with you this absolutely powerful article that I found over at The Baptist Press.  This article is the testimony of a Muslim man by the name of "Nisar" (not his real name) who came into fellowship with Jesus Christ.


Here's a small portion:

EDITOR'S NOTE: A Muslim-background church planter recounts the suffering he has endured for Christ in South Asia.

SOUTH ASIA (BP)--I went to visit a Muslim friend who was working at a Christian hospital. He invited me to come visit, because I provided him money every month for his studies. In the hospital, I met some Christian nurses. I asked them about Christianity. They invited me to the chapel for a prayer meeting. I attended the meeting and felt good about it. They gave me a Bible and I started reading it.

I read Genesis 1:27, "So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." This verse made me start to think.
