Hundreds of imams and mullahs from West Africa have been coming to Christ in the past decade, said a former Muslim who witnesses to Muslim scholars and clerics. Brother Daniel (last name withheld for security) told the Lausanne III Conference in South Africa that some 1,000 have come to Christ with 500 of them having completed discipleship training.
“The Muslims that are around us are sincere in their beliefs,” said Daniel. “[But] even though they are very sincere, they are sincerely wrong.” Daniel said Christians are “disobedient and fearful” to share the Gospel even though the Holy Spirit has worked in the hearts of Muslims and they are open and waiting to hear the Good News, Daniel remarked. He shared that he recently led a Sharia (Islamic law) court judge to Christ. After the conversion, the former Sharia judge lost his job and has faced “unbelievable persecution.” But despite the fierce obstacles, that former judge has alone led over 100 Muslims to Christ.
“We are constantly threatened, persecuted, attacked, and ambushed. We get a lot of calls, from Mecca, Medina, Iran, from the local Hezbollah. Yes, we are fearful. But you know what? We need to be obedient to the call of Christ and go.”
Another Conference delegate, Sam Yeghnazar, of Elam Ministries, shared, “Iran today is a closed land with countless open hearts. It is the most open nation to the Gospel in the entire world. Tens of thousands of Iranians are turning to Christ. Betrayed by the government, disillusioned with the religion, depressed by the
prospects of the future, Iranians when they come to know the Lord Jesus Christ are completely transformed,” he said. “Entire families are coming to Christ.”
Recently, two of Yeghnazar’s people were imprisoned and within a week they had brought six people to Christ.
