VOM Assists Former Islamic Apologist
The Voice of the Martyrs has provided encouragement and financial help to "Mohammad" an Islamic apologist who converted to Christianity.
Before becoming a Christian, Mohammad wrote articles attempting to prove Islam was the only way to God. After they were written, however, Mohammad began to have doubts about Islam. He saw violence in Islam and heard his colleagues say that one day those who follow Islam will invade Europe and take their women. After hearing this, Mohammad was very disgusted.
Later, Mohammad met a Christian who invited him to his house. "He gave [Mohammad] a Bible and asked him to read. When he opened the Bible, the first verse he read was 'And all who accepted Him, He gave them authority to be the sons of God,'" VOM contacts said. "Mohammad said it was like an electrical current went through his body when he read those words," VOM contacts added.
"The word of God is powerful," Mohammad added.
Following his conversion, Mohammad was arrested and imprisoned for two years. "He experienced miracles after miracles in jail," VOM contacts said. "The authorities told the extremists in prison that he was a convert so one of them would kill him. But the Lord protected him and kept him day after day. During his time in jail, his wife accepted the Lord, his daughter who is in university and his son who is a teenager."
Since Mohammad's release from prison, many attempted to kill him. He has been receiving all kinds of threats from neighbor and his extended family since he was released.
VOM contacts added, "No one wants to employ him because he has converted to Christianity. Somehow, Mohammad found a job and he was doing great. Before the end of the month, his employer fired him without reason and did not even give him a salary. When he got home he received a phone call from the national security [office] warning him if he ever tries to work he will be killed. They told him, 'You should be dead by now, be thankful that you're not.'"
The Voice of the Martyrs has provided financial assistance and food for Mohammad's family. The day the food was delivered it happened to be his daughter's birthday. She was very delighted to have such a feast on her birthday.VOM contacts who met with and encouraged Mohammad said, "He was in tears and it was a confirmation for him that he will never lack anything."
VOM encourages you to pray for Mohammad, his family and other believers in the Middle East who have great challenges because of their faith in Jesus Christ. Ask God to give them courage and boldness to stand for their faith.
