our soccer camp last July,” writes Christy Sopcisak, involved in teaching and training in Togo. For two years he had been afraid to make the decision because his father is a Muslim. But he finally decided that he couldn’t wait any longer.

After he accepted Christ, he was all smiles and a new person. However, we kept things quiet because he was still afraid of his father. A few weeks ago, the school director asked the class if they were all Christians. Some students said that some were Muslim and they pointed to this boy. The boy quickly said, “No, I am now a Christian.” It was the first time that he had made his profession public knowledge. God is working in this young man’s life.”

In another case, a Muslim student trusted in Christ for salvation. Even though her parents still make her go to the mosque, she will only pray to Jesus during her time there. Her mother tore up her Bible that her teacher had given to her. None of that has deterred her from growing in Christ and leading devotions in class.
