This is a story of an online conversion shared in late August.
‘Mahmoud has become a totally new person since he met Christ. He’s the one ministering to me these days’, said Vahid, an Elam Internet pastor.
‘I was introduced to Mahmoud online. He was a volatile young man with a very short fuse and used filthy language freely. He was a divisive character and had a very poor relationship with his family as a result. But his heart was clearly searching for something. When I would share the gospel with him, it would go over his head. But he kept faithfully coming to our online meetings. I also managed to send him a Bible. His friends, who had introduced us, also kept talking about Jesus with him.
‘One day, God just grabbed him. It clicked for him and he gave his life to the Lord. He started reading his Bible deeply saying that he was committing some of it to memory, which made me so happy.
‘His family have noticed the change in him. Now, instead of a dark cloud, they see the light in his face. He’s loving rather than angry. People are now drawn towards him, not pushed away.
