As If You Yourself, Part 4

In part one (October 2025), Samuel Wyler was arrested, questioned and imprisoned. In part two (November 2025), Samuel was accused of being a spy and brought before a judge, who stated, “If we don’t find anything suspicious, I will let you go.” In part three (December 2025), Samuel was transferred…

Our Surprise

No, I’m not going to that house. I thought. A strict Muslim family lives there. They would not want the gospel. Three Bible workers and I dedicated three months to preparing for and assisting with evangelistic meetings. One day, we came upon the home of a well-to-do Muslim family. Maurice…

Land of Gold

Bzzz. Bzz. Bzzzzz. We were sitting at the breakfast table on a Thursday morning when Toussaint received a call from his niece Sika, who lives in the capital, 500 kilometers (311 miles) away. She had been informed that Jeffrey, the oldest son of her brother, Antoine, had been struck by…

From Victim of Deception to Messenger of Truth

A Walk to Remember

“What do you love?” read the last question on the board. We have been attending language learning classes for three weeks now. Teddy and I are in separate classes, so we can trade off with the girls until they enroll in school. My original instructor just left on paternity leave…

Questions and Sharing

“Is God everything? If so, then does it mean that God created evil, too?” How would you answer those questions? “Did God not in the Torah [the first five books of the Bible] tell the Israelites to kill the Canaanites? Is that true? Yes or no?” “Do you believe in…

I listened as Ali enthusiastically continued his story: “Yes, Cyrus, actually, Allah made the Jinn for people. He made angels for himself, but we can use the Jinn. The best way to catch a Jinn is to use a safety pin. You know, the kind that you sometimes use to…
