All over The world

“Believe me, said a missionary from Nigeria in 1936,  it is a thousand times easier to win to the Savior a raw savage than a religious Moslem—just as the publicans and sinners welcomed Him (Jesus) on earth, while the religious Pharisees said, "He is mad and hath a devil, why hear ye Him?"
Such were the words of a missionary from the Sudan United Mission who went to Northwestern Nigeria in the 1930s. “But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us. Even when we were dead in our wrongdoings, made us alive together with Christ (by grace, you have been saved). Eph. 2:4-5” This missionary labored for 3 years, and the gospel began to penetrate.
A convert named Iliya of the missionary tells his story. "When I was a young man," he began, "my uncle, the chief of Wukari, sent me and five others to Mr. Guinter's (the missionary) school. My uncle bought me three wives and had hopes that I would become a helpful worker in his court. He did not want me to know Jesus but to know how to read and keep accounts. I had been at school one year when the light began to dawn. Comparing the ins and outs of Islam and the Wukari system with the way of Christ, I saw that Islam was empty. I thought of how Jesus died for me and how someday I should die and go to meet Him. If I had no faith in the One who died for me, I should be lost forever.
"So gradually Jesus Christ made it plain to me that I must put my trust in Him. I went to Malam Guinter and told him I believed in Jesus and wanted to confess Him publicly. He took me aside and said, 'Now, Iliya, have you seen what it means to come to Christ, and are you prepared to serve Him with all your heart? It will mean you’re leaving Salla (Mohammedan prayers) and all your fetish worship. It will mean putting away all except your first wife. Are you prepared for this?'
'I am,' I said.
'Are you prepared to tell the chief so?'
’ Yes, I am!' And I went that very day.
He had to renounce two of his three wives and be dismissed from everything about his family life and everything related to his home, work, and future.  He came home that night, and his meal was set out before him; when he ate it, he realized that he had been poisoned. His wife gave him an antidote to the poison, but it left him sick and in pain for a whole month. Eventually, the symptoms diminished, but occasionally, years later, they would rise to affect him.  Several years later, he was asked to go back to the same area to be a minister of the gospel there.  At first, he refused, but then God spoke to him in a dream and told him, ‘I will help you and strengthen you; you needn’t fear anybody.’  He went in obedience, and the gospel began to penetrate the area.
Such is the transformative power of the gospel of Jesus Christ.  It penetrates into the deepest darkness, but the enemy of souls fights hard against it. As intercessors with the Holy Spirit, we can witness the gospel penetrate and the light dawn on the hearts of Muslims, much like Jesus spoke to a man named Saul on the road to Damascus. It is not easy for those who come to faith in these countries, but we, as intercessors, can hold them up before the Throne of Grace so that He, the Lord of Hosts, will carry them through. Will you pray with us?
