What is going to happen??!

Thursday, Yo, my intern, and I stopped for a few minutes in a little coffee-shop near our house before heading home. Since there were few customers, Yee, the owner came and sat down with us. Yee and I have been friends for over a year now and I have already shared with him a few times. We talked about our coming Christmas party, family and the Malay language and going to Malaysia. The whole time I was trying to think of a way to steer the conversation toward Jesus. Suddenly, he leaned toward us and asked, "Does a person have to join a church to become a Christian." We began to share with him how the Bible teaches that it is a matter of belief and of the heart. We explained that if he, a Mus!im man, wants to become a Christian, he first needs to believe in his heart and accept it with his mouth (Romans 10:9-10). We happened to have a Bible in the car so we showed it to him and began to explain it to him as he had never seen one. He told us that he was very confused when he read the Koran and saw many contradictions. He didn't take the Bible when we offered it to him. He said that he would surely face opposition if he did. So, we have invited him to meet with us at our local English center. Pray for this man and 3-4 others like him who are at the door (figuratively). May the Lord lead many key people into his Kingdom from this people group!
