The guy right in front, Salim, has been part of our journey since our full-time language study days. He has also been part of the first group who heard the Gospel! It is really exciting that his wife is also a believer… one of few families where both the husband and wife confess this. Francois is “walking” with this guy in discipling him.
In a answering the question: What do you believe? Salim gave the following testimony: “I believe there is only one God. He is the Creator of heaven and earth. I believe that He sent his only Son, Jesus, to pay the price for my sin. He saved me! He is the Redeemer. He is my Redeemer.
“Now, I am not afraid of death anymore. Sure, I am afraid of the pain of sickness and what that can do to this body of mine, but this is only temporary. Now I know where I am going when I die. I know the way (literally: footpath) to God. I know I will be with Him one day! I am going to the Place-where-God-is (heaven)!
“There are only two footpaths (ways) in this life: one goes to God and one goes to the eternal fire. I have found the right Path (Way), the one that leads to God! I am saved!
“Thank you so much for coming to tell us this. I did not know the right way. Now I know! I am saved!”
Praise God for this testimony! Thank you for being part of this church plant by praying…
