Scores Of Muslims Turning To Christ In Middle East; Churches Expecting 'millions by alBHAGDADI: 8:26pm On Jan 10, 2017 |
Thousands of Muslims are turning to Jesus Christ and what they view as the “religion of freedom” amid ongoing bloodshed in the Middle East, reports indicate. Some churches hope that millions of people will accept Christ amid a “spiritual hunger” that is forming in the wake of persecution. Voice Of the Martyrs Canada, which supports Christian radio broadcasts in the region, told BosNewsLife that despite the mass exodus of Christians from Iraq and Syria due to terrorism, persecution, and war, scores of Muslims are making the decision to embrace Christianity. “There are thousands upon thousands coming to Christ,” VOMC revealed. “We are in regular contact with our FM stations in Iraq and have talked with many people who have family in the Middle East.” “Some of our Middle Eastern broadcasters have shared testimonies [about many turning to Christ] with us, which they hear directly from listeners when visiting there …” In Iran, Christian house churches are regularly targeted and shut down by the nation’s Islamic government. Despite this persecution, mission group Elam Ministries revealed that Christians have been growing in terms of numbers, and today estimates suggest there are 360,000 believers in Iran – up from only 500 in 1979. “Church leaders believe that millions can be added to the church in the next few years — such is the spiritual hunger that exists and the disillusionment with the Islamic regime,” Elam Ministries stated. “If we remain faithful to our calling, our conviction is that it is possible to see the nation transformed within our lifetime. Because Iran is a strategic gateway nation, the growing church in Iran will impact Muslim nations across the Islamic world.” Muslim refugees in Europe have also reportedly been undergoing mass conversions of faith. A June 2016 article from The Guardian noted anecdotal data of rising Christian church attendance in Europe by Muslims. Trinity church in the Berlin suburb of Steglitz, for instance, saw its congregation rise from 150 to 700 due to new Muslim converts, while the Austrian Catholic Church saw its applications for adult baptism swell by nearly 70 percent in the first three months of 2016. “I found that the history of Islam was completely different from what we were taught at school. Maybe, I thought, it was a religion that began with violence,” an Iranian convert, 32-year-old Johannes, said. “A religion that began with violence cannot lead people to freedom and love. Jesus Christ said ‘those who use the sword will die by the sword.’ This really changed my mind,” he added. More churches in Germany reported this growing phenomena in December 2016, with The Independent noting that Muslims, especially Iranians, are seeing Christianity as a new chance at freedom. “A lot of them come to Germany and think, here I can choose my religion and I want to choose a religion of freedom,” said Matthias Linke, a priest from the Evangelical-Freikirchlichen Gemeinde in Berlin. “For many Iranians that I’ve baptized, Christianity is the religion of freedom.” www.christianpost.com/news/scores-of-muslims-turning-to-christ-in-middle-east-churches-expecting-millions-of-converts-172723/ www.shoebat.com/2017/01/09/scores-of-muslims-turning-to-christ-in-middle-east-churches-are-expecting-millions-of-converts/ 6 Likes 4 Shares |

Empiree:The only reason why you don't trust shoebat is simply because he's an ex Muslim terrorist who converted to Christianity and is constantly exposing Islam as the Antichrist religion that it is. BTW, he is not the original publisher of the article. I posted the original source, look up. I only posted his site's URL along with it cos he published it too. 4 Likes 1 Share |

alBHAGDADI:Even if dis lies happened to be true, is it not a shame on your idol worshiping religion (Christianity) ? Taking advantage of dis hunger beaten people from the war zone that are desperate n weak to convert them to ur man worship by applying dis hypocritical approach. Why is dis conversion not happening under normal circumstances? Again! Even if the whole iraq and syria or even the whole middle east turn out to accept your 3 Gods worshiping religion the stands of Islam remain the same as the True Religion and the only way to heaven.

Thank You Jesus. Sometime days ago I watched how they beheaded our Christian brothers in piles for their faith. I pray Christians to come to The Lord's CHOSEN. Because they will never be intimidated by such terror even though they have a face to face encounter with such danger. And still doing daily. IT IS REAL. 1 Like |

aminusanti:Nobody is taking advantage of anybody. Christianity has never stylishly or forcefully converted anyone. Unlike Islam who converts people using sword and terrorism, Christianity converts by preaching the gospel of good news. It is that gospel that this muslim migrants hear and find peaceful, hence their easy conversion at their own will. All their life, all they've known us the strictness of Sharia that beheads at the slightest of sin. They remained under Islam that lack forgiveness cos they were trapped in the middle East. Now that they have been given an opportunity outside of that hell hole, they've Now realise how free they can be, a thing they can only achieve by embracing Christ. If they remain in Islam while in Europe, they will still be foolishly restricting themselves with that archaic Sharia law. Mind you, the source above quoted that Muslims are converting in droves in Iran. Praise YAHWEH. 7 Likes 2 Shares |

aminusanti:You haven't answered that guy's question which says "why aren't Islamic nations taking in Syrian and Afghanistan refugees?" The answer is the reason why those migrants are converting in droves to Christianity. They first wondered why their own Islamic brothers refused to help them but would rather allow them go seek help from the Kafirs whom allah warned them against. Perhaps, they also expected the Kafirs to reject them or suffer them but were astonished at the level of acceptance and love the Kafirs showed them. That was how they discovered which religion is truly peaceful- Christianity. 4 Likes |

aminusanti:you Muslims always get it wrong, just like you have various sects in Islam, Christians have theirs too, not all Christians believes in trinity, a good number believe Jesus Is not God, we have only one God, but he is son of God, you too can be daughter of God if you can be righteous, i can be son of God if I am righteous,if we are servants of God will God prepare all the goody goody in heaven for a servant? or his own children? Will you prepare all the nice things in paradise for your servants or your children? Muslim says God was not born so He can't give birth so to say, but You guys forgot that he created US and adopt us, made us in his image, if you are righteous he adopts you as his own. |

aminusanti:lol, take a chill pill, i only answered the part of you talking about trinity, in your post I quoted, just to clarify the erroneous mindset most Muslims have on trinity, IDOL worship? very funny if the cross is an idol, then the stone in kaaba u bow towards is what? that's the real Idol, Idols do not necessarily come in form of man or animals, it could be any object, A good part of Christians don't even use the cross image with the white man, Pentecostal church don't, they don't even regard any object but Muslims bow to an object in Mecca, a stone, that's Idol message my dear. On the topic, let everyone be free to choose his or her own religion without fear of being killed. |
