Muslim Imam Converts to Christianity, Now Preaches Jesus to Islamists
August 7, 2015 | Filed under: Persecution,Top Stories,World | By: Heather Clark
A former Muslim imam in Africa is sharing his story of how he converted from Islam to Christianity and now preaches Christ to Islamists throughout his country.
World Watch Monitor recently released the video testimony of a man who once was taught to persecute Christians as a Muslim and is now facing persecution himself as he preaches the gospel as a convert to the Christian faith. Tofik—not his real name—shares that as a child and young adult, he participated in violence against Christians as instructed.
“In school I only learned about Islam,” he stated. “Parts of our teaching were about destroying Christianity. So we did what we learned, by attacking Christians once we finished our training.”
“Our teachers would tell us every time there was a new church in town and we were told to go and attack the people and destroy the church,” Tofik continued. “So that’s what we did.”
Tofik was selected to receive continuing studies in Islam and went on to study in Saudi Arabia. He then became an imam and worked to extinguish Christian evangelism in his African village, forbidding anyone from preaching Christ within its borders.
Chinese, Syrian Christians Tell Horrors of Persecution, Starvation and Torture for Refusing to Deny Jesus Christ
Believers take part in a weekend mass at an underground Catholic church in Tianjin November 10, 2013.
At a Religious Freedom Project summit Friday at the Catholic University of America, a Chinese evangelist told of how she was was forced to make Christmas tree lights and endured starvation, electrocution and beatings in Chinese prisons and “re-education” labor camps due to her refusal to renounce Christ.
Speaking at the conference organized by Baylor University, the largest Baptist university in the world, Chinese evangelist Sarah Liu, and Syrian Christian ministry leaders, Joseph and Hannah Sleman, gave their testimonies to the torture and persecution faced by Christians unwilling to compromise in two of the most hostile regions toward Christianity this world has to offer.
Liu, a born-again Christian who was baptized in 1991 in the dead of a winter night due to fear of a government crackdown, told of how she and ministry partners traveled through China’s Hubei province, going village to village, to spread the word of Christ.
5 Birthmarks of the Christian: How to be Certain of Your Salvation
David Jeremiah – 27 July 2015
While the entire Bible stresses certainty and assurance, there’s one section of Scripture that stakes out this theme as its central focus—the letter of 1 John.
As we carefully read through 1 John, we notice a five-fold argument for the assurance of salvation—five of the birthmarks of the Christian.
The Birthmark of Confession
The first is the birthmark of confession, described in 1 John 5:1: “Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God.” Before you can have assurance of salvation, you have to believe and be saved. You have to confess Jesus Christ as Lord. Some people assume they are saved because they grew up in a Christian culture, or they have gone to church all their lives, or they have been baptized, or they have tried to live a good life. Yet they’ve never distinctly and personally confessed Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord.
The Bible teaches that we are sinners, separated from God by a sinful nature. We can never earn, buy, or climb our way into heaven. By our own efforts or goodness, we can never be saved. That’s why God became a man who lived a wholly righteous life, died on the cross, shed His blood for us, and rose from the dead. He paid our penalty, took our judgment upon Himself, and He offers us the opportunity to be born again.

Healing presence of God turns tears of sadness into JOY / Healing, Salvation and Deliverance at CTFM in Melbourne
Dear family & friends in Christ,
What a wonderful weekend we had at CTFM in Melbourne last Friday, Saturday & Sunday.
We give all glory to God as His awesome presence turned tears of sadness into joy, as people had a good drink from the well of living waters which brought emotional, spiritual & physical healing to many.
At every service people spent much time worshipping the Lord, as in His presence is fullness of joy.
On Friday night the Holy Spirit ministered to married couples, with many receiving tremendous emotional healing in their marriages and families.
As the Lord prompted, Ps Daniel re-dedicated all marriages to Jesus and everyone at the altar renewed their marriage vows. Some were in tears as they did so.
Emotional healing is key to receive your physical healing. Several people were healed from various sicknesses and one young lady received deliverance from demonic spirits.
All services were very powerful, as the four young speakers all from CTFM, Tendai, Jason, Mariana & Peter, preached the anointed word of God, with many mightily touched by God.
God willing, we hope to have these meeting for 3 days every month, so we all can have a good drink from the river of life, which flows from His throne room.

Pastor Daniel for quite some time now has been having a strong impression in his heart that the month of November will be a month of breakthrough and victory for the body of Christ in Australia.
He stated, “This morning the 11th of November 2015 I woke up at 3:10am with great excitement and joy in my heart, as in a vision I saw Jesus drawing water from a deep well, the first bucket which came out had the words EMOTIONAL HEALING, the second bucket had the words SPIRITUAL HEALING and the third bucket had the words PHYSICAL HEALING. I literally jumped off the bed knowing that the wells of healing are reopening.
Washing Egypt With the Word of God: “Incredible Things Are Happening” in the Country These Days
Nicole James : Aug 26, 2015 : Operation Mobilization
(Egypt)—Ali*, a local worker, has one goal for his life: to wash Egypt with the Word of God. Before 2017, he hopes to distribute two million Bibles to Egyptian Muslims. He hands out Bibles by the carton-full, according to team leader Jared*.
“Ali is not afraid, in any situation, to offer a Bible as a gift,” Jared said. Often, when one family member receives a Bible, other relatives come back to ask for their own copy.
A couple of times a year, Ali and Ibrahim*, another Operation Mobilization (OM) worker, partner with a local ministry. In a courtyard, event volunteers set up displays of used clothing to sell. When a local leaves the event, they receive a Bible.
Baptist Evangelizer of Muslims in America Says Greatest Challenge Is Christians Are Afraid to Witness
By Michael Gryboski , Christian Post Reporter – July 17, 2015
Raouf Ghattas, pastor and founder of Arabic Baptist Church in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
A Baptist pastor in Tennessee whose young congregation is focused on evangelizing the state’s growing Islamic community has stated that the great obstacle to evangelizing Muslims is the American Church’s apathy on the matter.
Raouf Ghattas, founder and pastor of the Arabic Baptist Church in Murfreesboro, has sought to evangelize among the city’s growing Muslim population.
“Many are apathetic, afraid, or just not sure how to approach a Muslim in witness. We work to train churches and individuals in how to reach out to Muslims, but they still have to be the ones to be active,” said Ghattas to The Christian Post on Friday.
No Matter their Reasons at First, Hundreds of Muslims Are Turning to Christ in Germany
News Staff : Sep 8, 2015 : CBN News
“I invite these people in because I think that coming here does change people, despite their original motivation for doing so.”

The Evangelical Trinity Church has swelled from 150 to 600 members in just two years, and many are Muslims fleeing Iran and Afghanistan.
Mohammed Ali Zonoobi, an Iranian asylum seeker, was recently baptized.
“I feel like I am born again”, he sobbed.
Many of the refugees are seeking asylum in Germany and converting to Christianity can increase their chances of staying. If they’re sent home, converts can be persecuted—even put to death—for leaving Islam.

Five reasons believers don’t walk in the power & authority of Christ
11/6/2014 Ché Ahn – Charisma News
- Sin. When we habitually sin, we come under Satan’s authority, and he has legal rights over us until we repent. That is why Jesus said, “‘The ruler of this world is coming, and has nothing on Me'” (John 14:30, NKJV). Jesus was without sin, so the devil could not get a foothold in His life.
James 5:16 declares, “The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” This verse points out that authority is given to the righteous. Carlos Annacondia, an Argentine evangelist, once told me that he believes God gave him more authority when he became ruthless about his sin and the sin in his family’s life.
Along the same line, we have to be under authority before we can exercise authority. If we are rebellious toward our parents or the authority of our church, we won’t have much authority over the evil one.
- Ignorance. In Hosea 4:6, God declares, “‘My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.'” The Lord showed me that His people are being destroyed by the ignorance of their authority in Christ. Yet the Bible makes it clear that we are not powerless against the enemy.
Second Corinthians 10:3-5 states, “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.”

Muslims Who Watch This Spirit-Filled Preacher Are Turning to Christ
7/21/2015 Leading the Way
As the world responds to the latest series of Islamic extremist attacks, including a Tunisia attack that killed 30 people, one story that isn’t being covered in the media is that Muslims are turning to Christ.
Twenty-one-year-old Hafid* from Morocco believed in jihad and killing anyone who did not follow the laws of Islam.
However, his life was transformed when he started watching Leading The Way’s 24/7 satellite television channel, The Kingdom Sat. Leading The Way is a television broadcast from the ministry of Michael Youssef.
“I started comparing Islam with Christianity and found there to be a lot of contradictions between the Hadith (the prophets’ teaching) and the Quran. I studied the Bible online. I wanted to tell you that I have decided to follow Jesus.”
After receiving this message, Leading The Way’s follow-up team led him to Christ.
WHAT A TRUE CHRISTAN REALLY LOOKS LIKE
4/29/2015 Bethany Blankley – Charisma News
It’s easy to understand why nearly all non-Christians, secularists and the media misunderstand Christianity. Today words and their definitions are nearly meaningless because the same words are used to support particular, even opposite agendas. Relativism and proof-texting are the means to this end, justifying the terms people use about themselves and others.
Division among denominations, churches, organizations, and even personalities advocating their own version of truth certainly hinders non-believers from understanding Christianity.
However, identifying real Christianity and the people of the Cross is straightforward.
Christianity is rooted in the historical person and work of Jesus Christ. Jesus’ words and actions communicate God’s unconditional, immeasurable love, expressing God’s unbending commitment to human redemption. To know Jesus is to know God; one’s belief about Jesus yields eternal consequences.
A true Christian believes Jesus is not only the Word of God but he is the key to understanding God’s revelation (John 1, 5, 8; Romans). Jesus made authoritative claims about His deity, the eternal co-existing relational nature of God, and the necessity for salvation, truth and life, all of which only He can provide. His claims got Him killed (John 10:29, 30, 8:24-27, 5:18, 3:35, 15:26, 19:10-11; Luke 2:49, 11:13; 1 John 4; 1 Pet. 1; Matt. 26:39).
