Dear Friends in Christ,
Thank you for your prayers and donations, which helps us continue this ministry.
Pray for the following Muslim women who are seeking the Lord and interested in having workshops. Rhonda needs a lot of comfort after the war in Gaza. Ichlaas likes to sit and talk with us about the Lord Jesus. Zuhuur is interested in knowing more about our ministry. She asks us to meet with her and pray for her teenage children. Jehaan desires more communication with us to comprehend the reason for our love. Najilaa is divorced and has wrapped her life around her daughter. She keeps contact with us for prayer. Fidaa' is a believer and grateful for your prayers. Her father expressed regret for his actions toward her in reaction to her faith. Fatima wants to know more and to bring others with her to the workshops. Hanaa' wants to know more after reading the book The Torn Veil. With many questions about Jesus, she is afraid of her husband. Sireen, and her sisters, Hiba and Sa'eeda, want to know more about Who God is.
In February we met with a number of women who were very encouraged in our Educational Workshops. One of the women asked the cost of the book The Greatest Gift. When I told her it was free, she took 2 to give 1 to her niece. Another lady had the courage to take some books and asked if we accepted her with her head covering. It gave me an opportunity to tell her of Jesus' love. She began to weep, but as a man in an Arab culture, I cannot talk too long or personally to a woman.
People also surprised me in our Jericho meeting of about 90 people when they began asking to sing gospel songs! At the same time, one person was trying to turn others sitting near him away from the faith. God gave me wisdom and authority. I observed what he was doing and called on him to come and share his message with all of us. He refused, became silent, and stayed for the entire meeting. I felt the Holy Spirit prompting me to give an invitation to accept Jesus. 9 raised their hands. As I prayed for them, I sensed their fear.
We have had many profitable encounters. Faadi surprised me by telling me that God's Fatherhood toward humans is true! He said he is ready to confront others concerning their ideas against Christianity. During our clothing distribution, many women came, but only to talk with us. Our helper, Usera, assisted in watching their daughters, so we could pray with them. On the same day, Alaa' gave his life to Jesus Christ after a Bible study. Another Moslem woman with a head covering asked me about Jehovah's Witnesses. I said I was not one of them, because we believe Jesus is the Son of God. She seemed to hate them and I asked why, but she did not reply. She left with a Bible, a story book for her son and a smile. After a Moslem man took a Bible, we began talking. He believed people need to read and not throw books away; that it is wrong to humiliate religion. It was comforting to us to hear of his concern for youth committed to following ignorance. A Christian man expressed a desire to know Jesus better. A bus driver passing by drew my attention. He stopped and took some books. He then sent another person to our table and we were able to have a nice conversation with him. A Christian lady took Bibles for her daughters who were asking about the Christian faith, but she did not know how to answer them. She asked what to do. I said "Go to church". She said, "We go". I advised her, if her church was not helpful, to find another church where she would receive spiritual benefit.
One day a municipal authority came and asked us to close the table. We asked why. He said there was a complaint about us. We didn't make an issue of it, since we were already planning to leave. However, we knew the reason; we were reaching-out to Moslems with the message of Jesus!
