A local church in our area hosted a special service this past Sunday where a former Muslim who is now a Christian came and spoke about his experiences. It was an incredible experience to listen to his story. I wish Shazeep and WII could have heard him speak. He spoke with such love and compassion about the people who have been raised in the religion of Islam, and said that they were victims of a religion who has stolen so much from them.
He shared his testimony, an amazing story of how he grew up in Iraq in a very wealthy home. He memorized the entire Koran at age 12, and was highly educated, and traveled around the world. Through a Catholic friend whose mother was their housekeeper, he was given a Bible, and he said that as he began to read the Bible he discovered answers to questions that he never understood about the Koran, and after reading the Bible for some time, one night he attempted to talk to the God of the Bible, and the Lord appeared to him with a bright light, and he said he felt the very insides of his heart and body being washed and cleansed, and such a powerful experience left him completely in love with the Lord Jesus. There is a lot more to his story, including the fact that he went through a terrible time of capture, torture, and then living underground in Iraq for several years before finally getting a visa to come to the USA.
If you would like more of his story, he has a website:

His testimony is shared hoping to enlighten the American people about the truths of Islam and Muslims that you will not hear from the media, and his greatest desire is to see the Muslim people come to know Jesus Christ, and to have their lives transformed by the power of the gospel.
