Video and Testimony: Serving Muslims with Love - Part 2

 

My heart stirred with the Father’s love for this old man who stopped me.  That’s why I accepted his request for a ride.  I simply wanted to help him.  While he was in my car, my heart stirred more for this man.  So, I told him about the Father’s love, and how many dishonor Him by attempting to purchase it through good works and prayer.  God the Father loves us, and His love is free.  This man, a Muslim, began emotionally speaking in Arabic, clasping his hands, looking up to heaven praising “Allah”, and thanking me.  “This is something a lot of people, don’t teach!  Allah has given me this special meeting today,” he said.  I was supposed to only take him a short distance.  But seeing how the Holy Spirit was moving, I told him I’d take him wherever he wanted to go.  I just wanted to spend time with this man.  We got to his destination (out of the way from where I needed to go), and he prepared to leave my car.  There was no big urge in my heart, but yet I knew it was time for more.  I said, “Sir, I don’t want to disrespect you; but I need to tell you more.  All that I told you about love was given to me by Jesus Christ, the Son of God!”  “God is all the same,” he said.  “No…," I explained, "... Jesus is more than a prophet…the Son of God…the only way to the Father…the only one who can forgive sin and bring us back into a true relationship as sons of God.  That is where this love comes from.”  The man didn’t receive Christ right then.  But, he heard that the message that elated his heart in praise was all because of Jesus Christ, the Son of God – the true Prophet indeed.

Pray that we might know His love that surpasses knowledge (Ephesians 3:19), and carry His heart to a neighbor that may have never experienced the love of God.   Imagine purely loving people, and trusting God to decide what His love should look like and the impact His love will have on others.   This is part of what it means to love your neighbor as yourself (Mark 12:31).

Serving Muslims with Love

Loving our neighbor must also
be done practically

Muslims are such beautiful people.  My wife and I have been falling more and more in love with our dear neighbors here.  The Father’s love has been pouring out in our hearts in such a way that we desire to serve, care for and love our Muslim neighbors.  We try to seek the best for them (God’s best), and love purely and simply without the premeditated offensive thought of “must preach with words to defend where we stand in the gospel.”

The Lord opened an amazing door to help a Muslim business man here in town.  It was an answer to prayer.  A major business deal wasn’t going through due to language barriers.  I made multiple calls internationally (we footed the bill), translated Portuguese to English and English to Portuguese, sent communications, etc.  A few weeks later, everything was all set and this Muslim man was able to successfully finish his transaction before the overseas company decided to refuse the request.  We did it, just to love our neighbor, and help bring peace to a very trying situation.

To us this is the gospel.  This is love.  It was God’s answer to prayer.  This is waves of revival outside the “four walls.”  We are serving for the benefit of those the Father loves, as He loves (Matthew 5:43-48).  We have always said we were called to be carriers of the heart of God the Father.  This is what it looks like in a non-church setting-fathering and mothering a generation outside the church (that is, people who don't believe)!  We seek to grow in love, embracing people, serving people and believing in their God- given dreams that they might see the awesome value they have and know the Lord Jesus who has given it to them. 

Pray that we might know His love that surpasses knowledge (Ephesians 3:19), and carry His heart to a neighbor that may have never experienced the love of God.  Imagine purely loving people, and trusting God to decide what His love should look like and the impact His love will have on others.  This is part of what it means to love your neighbor as yourself (Mark 12:31).

It starts with you and me.  Let it begin right now!
