Diaspora in Ontario: During street evangelism, we met a young Muslim man named A from Sudan. He listened attentively to the open-air preaching and was convicted by his own sin according to God’s law stemming from the 10 commandments.  He didn’t have a Bible at home, so we gave him an NT and A said he would definitely read it. A encouraged me to continue to preach, gave me a hug, and left. Please pray for the word of God to touch A’s heart and that he will realize that reconciliation with God can only come through our Lord Jesus Christ.
