Jesus is our Savior!
God is brought him through Summer project
We had many good conversations and we quickly were able to talk about spiritual topics. One night we talked the whole night! I shared with him about my faith in Jesus and he shared also about his views about God through his study of Islam.
I want to share with you the story of his life: One night he shared about his family and what is going on in his life. His family has a lot of money, but this money came through his father who was a drug dealer. Eventually, his father was arrested and sent to prison. In his family, there are 4 children, and his mother decided to continue his work so that she could provide for her family. He shared this with great pain, how much his family has suffered, and especially that his mother also was sent to prison and that his father died while in prison. His mother was released from prison and they are now starting a new life.
Through all of these difficulties in his life, I see how in his heart He wants to know God. All summer our friendship became closer, and we had many good conversations about God. I can see that God is working in his heart, and that his life is changing.
