Imam Seeks Truth After Discovering Bible

[194] prayers in [11] nations have been posted for Mustafa.

A Muslim religious leader is seeking truth about Christ after encountering a Bible for the first time. Mustafa is an imam of his local mosque, but he discovered a Bible in his son’s room. He became curious about what the Bible teaches as he noticed many in his community turning away from Islam. “When I open any pages and read, this book continues to give truth that I never heard,” he said. “As I continue to read, the tears run from my eyes [because I see] how many people in my life I misled. But as I have this book now, I want to continue studying so that I can teach its truth.” Pray that as Mustafa searches for truth in God’s Word, he will repent and place his trust in Christ.
