An Historic Door for the Gospel

Over the last two weeks, I have had the privilege of guest hosting Dr. James White’s dividing line broadcasts while he has been on a ministry trip to South Africa (the 4th of these shows at 2 p.m. later today). Dr. White shares here about one of the events on his trip and it is TRULY HISTORIC! God has opened a very significant and unexpected door for the gospel and it thrills my heart. Please continue to pray for Dr. James White and Alpha and Omega Ministries.

“As I wait here in London for my flight back to Phoenix, I stood once again in a masjid—not just a room associated with a mosque, but in the masjid itself, and had the unfettered freedom to proclaim the full truth of God. If I can figure out how best to link an audio file, I might have time before my flight to post a portion of my presentation on John’s Christology, but I can tell you this: I had the opportunity (indeed, the necessity, given Yusuf’s presentation), of delving into John 1:1-18, John 8:24, 58, 13:19, 18:5-6 (the I Am sayings of Jesus) and of course John 20:28. That is certainly not unusual—but to do so in a historic masjid, the first Christian to speak there—that’s amazing. But now add in the real kicker: I was standing where Ahmed Deedat often stood in denial of those very truths. That’s what I am still processing. Only God could open a door like that, give an opportunity like that. I thank Him for using means (specifically, Rudolph, Adrian, etc. there in South Africa), but they will tell you the same thing: the Lord has granted favor to our interactions with our Muslim friends in South Africa. No doubt about it.”
