Three years ago, Dale and I were in Nairobi and I was having my hair done in the hotel beauty shop. The lovely Muslim girl helping me took one look at my scalp and asked if I'd been on safari! That was a blow, but after I assured her that I had never been nor would ever be on safari, she gave me another shock: She said, "So, why did you want to become a Christian?"
The scripture says,"Be always ready with an answer to him who asks a reason of the hope within you..,"but I could not remember ever being asked so directly! It turns out that, for their entertainment in the evenings, she and her strict Muslim husband and daughter watch Christian testimonies on tv, presumably 700 club, or a similar program. She said,"The stories are so good!"
I returned last year while we were in England and, again, she asked the same question. Both times I was able to freely give my testimony. I was aware both times of all the other workers praying both times. All the others were Christians and had been witnessing to her for years.
I took her to lunch the last time we were there and she said, "I understand about Christianity. I grew up in England, but we don't believe He is the Son of God." Would you ladies pray for Sophia in Nairobi to be able to believe He is the Son of God?
Thank you for your love and prayers "from the first day until now.."
