Even though I am in prison, I feel free in Jesus

A year ago, an Iraqi young Muslim refugee, Ahmed (not his real name), 22, born in Lebanon, was arrested for drug trafficking. Ahmed lost his refugee status in the USA, and was transferred an immigration detention facility with the illegal aliens, awaiting deportation. His family had been coming to Salam Fellowship for years. We did not give up on him. We kept visiting and praying for him in prison, especially my wife, Mona. She was filled with compassion towards this young man, and considered him a victim of his broken family, not a criminal. His parents were divorced, and their five kids were lost in a sinful world. He started reading the Bible with great interest, and praying that Jesus would save him from his incarceration. Mona and I were greatly inspired whenever we visited him.

Ahmed would repeat with joy. Psalms and Proverbs were his favorite. He used describe how his attitude towards h is inmates and guards changed. He started to treat everyone gently and patiently, with love. Mona helped his family get an attorney who was able to convince the judge of granting him another chance. It was a miracle, because it was his third time in prison. Ahmed was given parole, and was not deported. He was released three weeks ago. God answered all our prayers. Please pray that Ahmed would stay the course, follow Jesus Christ, and grow spiritually. Ahmed passion is fast cars and sports….They have provedto be distracting…Please pray that he would seek the Kingdom of God first, and stay focused on Jesus. Amen

A Mighty Fortress Is Our God, But People Are Disappointing

I want to say this: I am really disappointed with the Church. I posted Mohammed's need to rent a room with a Christian family for 6 months and nobody even offered to meet Mohammed and see if there is a possibility to rent him a room!!..I know that there are a lot of big empty houses, but many Christians do not want to muddy their feet or soil their hands with missions to Muslims. Mohammed lives next to Mosque where the majority of people are Muslims and has two Muslim roommates...His friend was killed in the West Bank because of his conversion....any body on fire for the Lord!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMdlbCV9k9Y

I Was A Stranger And You Welcomed Me

I was a stranger and you welcomed me, Matthew 25: 35 Today I helped a Tunisian refugee family get an apartment...They have been 15 days in the USA and have no income or credit...It was a miracle.....The husband said that he is indebted to Salam all his life...I have heard this before...I may not believe it...but I saw Christ in action....All Glory be to God.

Though I Am in Prison, I Celebrate my Freedom in Christ."

Dear Friends, Please pray for the incarcerated young man from Lebanon nicknamed Kay-two. I visited him in prison, and he is now very repentant...reading the Bible, and wants to follow Jesus...some of his words: Though I Am in Prison, I Celebrate my Freedom in Christ." "

Yesterday I met a guy 76 years old, former Muslim Arab who was called to faith in Christ at the age of 75...With God all things are possible....I have to disciple him...he has encyclopedic knowledge of history, including history of the Church. He is almost of the age of my late earthly father...you can see the challenge!!
