More ‘Thank you Rev Ibrahim’ comments from some recent converts:

UZTAZ:
(A former prominent Islamic preacher.  See conversion story in Issue 3.)
The most convincing verse in my life is John 16: 2 -3. “They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think he is offering a service to God. They will do such things because they have not known the father or me”.
Uztaz said, “When I understood this text and applied it to what I am facing for accepting Christ, I am no longer surprised. I hold on to the new faith and hope in Christ and will keep this because it is a fulfilment.”

IDRIS:
Idris is a convert who received Christ in one of our missions in April 2011 and after receiving some holistic discipleship from Passion relocated to Jos for safety. He appreciates Romans 8:28. “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” (NIV)

SHUAIBU:
Shuaibu (James) is a convert who has been with Passion since February, 2014. He is now in a Christian High School in the southern part of Kaduna state. He has this to say about what he has learnt from the bible: John 3:16 is a confirmed measure of love displayed wholly on the cross by Jesus.
He says, “Na ba da gaskiya Yesu ya mutum domin Mutane su sami ceto. (Yahaya 3:16) Kuma duk wanda bai bad a gaskiya ba zai halaka (Yahaya 3:36)”
“I believe Jesus died for all people to be saved.” (John 3:16).  “Whoever do not believe are condemned already.” (John 3:36) (translated)

ARMA’ YAU:
Another convert, Arma’ Yau, was convicted by Mark 8:36, “What good is it for a man to gain the whole world yet forfeit his soul?” He says in the light of this verse he no longer worries about losing his job with the Nigerian police force, his car and house. According to him, they cannot be compared with the salvation he has found in Christ.

YAHAYA:
Yahaya Mohammed believes that he never regrets knowing and believing Jesus. “My mother and siblings are alive and have not got what I have in Christ. This is my passion. I pray that they will meet salvation.”

PRAY that all of these new converts will be blessed as they celebrate Christmas, joyful in the knowledge that they are now part of His ‘forever family’..
