Lg and I were invited to hold a Bible study in Ai’s home. Our first meeting was with him and his wife. They were very receptive. I have known Ai for some time and he reluctantly agreed to let us come to have a Bible study with him every Sunday morning. He told me he was too embarassed to have me come to his home. He also told me that he did not want to bother me.
He is a professing Christian however he does not have a testimony of calling on Christ to save him. He told me that he has always been a Christian because his parents are also Christians. Ai said that he has no idea if he really is going to heaven. Please pray that He will see his need of repenting of his sin and trusting in Christ alone for salvation. His wife Ra is also in need of salvation.
Ai told me his wife switched religions to become a Christian when they were married. (Though it has not always been this way, it is now the law that to be married, two must be of the same religion.) She was a muslim before that. When they married her family completely cut off contact with them. However, after they had a child a couple of years later, her parents came back around. Now the relationship is well again between them all.
She made this decision to leave her religion because she loved a man. She lost communication with her family for a while. Later her family joined back in a good relationship with her. This is not what will always happen, but it is one example of what happens to those who change their relgion.
We are not here to change religions of people, though we know that will happen if they trust in Christ.
We are focused on giving the message of Christ to these people.
Pray that many will trust in Christ as their only way of salvation.
Ai said that he would try to get more people to come to the Bible study. Pray with us concerning that also.
