Urgent Opportunity! Send a convert to pastor training!

August 18, 2011
Project reference: 

"Paul," a Christian convert from Islam, knows what it's like to be persecuted for the sake of Christ. After this young man, a computer programmer in central Asia, came to know the Lord, he experienced rejection and hostility from his closest friends and family. Thankfully, the same missionary that first witnessed to Paul also pastored a house church, and Paul's faith was strengthened through fellowship with other believers. He was baptized in 2003, and when the missionary was kicked out of the country, Paul stepped up. Today, he pastors the 7-year-old house church and eagerly desires to use his God-given talents to spread the Gospel (he speaks four languages and has deep insights into his culture). Praise God, Paul was recently accepted at a pastor training program where he can receive Biblical instruction. Thanks to the support of believers around the world, God has provided about two-thirds of the funds Paul needs ($6,000 USD)!

 If you want to help us close the gap, please mark your donation “Caring for Converts.”  Any funds received in excess of his needs will go to assist other converts from Islam.
