Jonathan is working among an unreached, Muslim tribe who live in his homeland in Africa. He became friends with a Muslim man who is a leader in a mosque. As their friendship developed, Jonathan shared not only his personal story but also Jesus' story with him. Not long after, Jesus appeared to this man in a dream and confirmed the truth about the things that Joseph had been sharing with him. Early the next morning, he went to Jonathan's house crying "with big tears" telling him about the dream. Jonathan continued to relate this story, saying, "After that it was very difficult for my friend to keep his story secret from his family so he shared it with an uncle who is also a leader in the mosque. This uncle told others in the mosque and small groups started even while staying within that mosque.” Today there is a disciple making movement within the Muslim mosque of over 35 groups. Those groups have helped their community in so many ways, especially with the recent floods where so many houses were destroyed. They brought food and helped the people who were really suffering by showing them the love of Jesus. Because of their love, many of them wanted to know more about their faith. "We do not call these groups churches. We call them Groups of Friends, because now they have come to believe that the Isa (Jesus) they learned about in the Quran is now also their Savior."
We are inspired by the hundreds of teams from this mission organization working in unreached and often unsafe parts of the world. With your help, it has been an honor to serve them this week.

This is great news. Thanks
This is great news. Thanks Roger & Brooks. I believe God is saying that the evidence of My love will grow exponentially over the next few years. There will be signs following the sharing of My word but not just through the leaders ; also through many individuals as they expose the truth of Jesus into lives that have not previously considered the possibility of a new way of living. This is particularly for the group you have shared about but like Joseph the vine will go over the wall into neighbouring areas and bring much life abroad.
