“I am a Muslim and I have never entered a church before. This is the first time. I can feel God’s love in this place. I feel that God is real.” -Muslim refugee

(The Philippines)—A war waged recently in the city of Zamboanga is over and now Christian churches in the area are the ones reaching out the most to the Muslim victims of that war.

According to a CBN News report, in the midst of the crisis, Pastor Yolly Trinidad and her husband cared, and continue to care, for the suffering refugees.

“When I prayed to God,” said Pastor Trinidad, “He told me this is the time for the Church to go out and fulfill Matthew 25 …my husband and I went to the stadium and we brought with us Muslim mothers with children and little babies who were just 2 weeks old. All these years,” she added, “we are praying for the unreached people groups, and now they have come out. And we can easily reach out to them.”

One Muslim evacuee was quoted as saying, “The Muslims hostages the Christians and yet in return, you are for us. I am a Muslim and I have never entered a church before. This is the first time. I can feel God’s love in this place. I feel that God is real.”
