Firman from Indonesia, an unemployed non-Christian at the time, was invited by a Christian friend to attend a four-month business course with him. However, Firman was taken by surprise when the Gospel was central to the course. Two months before the course ended, Firman accepted Jesus as Lord and Savior.At the end of the course, Firman was encouraged to spread the Gospel in a religiously hostile area. “I approached the non-believers as a friend, not once trying to teach or preach to them. We simply discussed things. As I listened to their ideas, I gradually put the Gospel message in the middle of our discussions,” he explained his method, which he admitted was time-consuming but highly effective. Over a period of five years, Firman has preached to more than 50 non-Christians. All of which came to faith. Some have even begun reaching out to their own people.Pray for persecuted believers, like Firman, who are boldly spreading the Gospel in religiously hostile areas. May they receive godly strategy, as well as have endurance to persevere in the assignment they’ve received from the Lord. -- source link
