Testimonies of the Impact Made by Supplying Bibles in Sudan

*all names have been changed for security

A local church leader, Ismail, who was a former Muslim in ____, wrote:
Dear brethren in Christ, you have saved my life and the lives of many Muslims by your gift that you have given us. Where i live is a very remote area where many Sudanese don't know. We have received Christ and the Bibles that we have never expected to get. May the Lord bless you. 

Last week I have been studying my Bible, and a lady who was trained by Muslim leaders to disturb believers approached me and asked me. "Do you know that Jesus said that no one has ever seen God?" I said yes. And she asked, "And why do you believe in someone who people saw him eating and drinking like us? I was out of answers, but I told her that wait, I had study Bible. We can't take God's word literally like that. She said, "You bring your Bible and see what your scholars are saying. 

So I opened the study Bible to see this issue. I found that this is a big issue for Muslims falsely accusing the Holy word of God. For they don't understand the Bible, and they are using it like what the devil did to eve. Because John 1:18: says, “No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.” The Bible tells us that many people saw God in Old Testament. The Lord appeared to Abraham in Genesis 17:1; Jecob saw God face to face in Genesis 32:30; The Lord revealed himself to Samuel in 1 Samuel 3:21; to Solomon in 1 Kings 9:2. Daniel and his friends, plus the king, saw the Lord Daniel 3:25. It's clear that Jesus was aware of all of these. He was telling them that whom people saw previously was incarnated Jesus Christ. For he said before Abraham I was. So scholars included that we have not seen Father as spirit being, but we have seen His manifestation in Jesus Christ. The Son took the human body for the sake of our love. After we have gone through many Scriptures. She said I didn't know that the Bible was also talking about Abraham, Jacob, Solomon, and so many prophets. I told her the Book quran talks about it, and it says "The people of Book" That book is the Bible. She asked if she could borrow the book and go and read. I said no, but what you can do is come here every day, and we will study together. Her name is is Fadila please pray that the Holy Spirit will help her understand the word of God.


Ahmed wrote from Si____
My brothers and sisters in the Lord, thank you for Bibles. Yesterday we had a wonderful moment when we conducted a wedding in our church. It was the first time in the history of our village to have a Christian wedding. People held their  Bibles to read. However, many ladies didn't like to hold the Bible because they thought it was the same as in Islam when a lady in her period she is unclean, so she is supposed not to touch the Bible. I knew that was a problem because some of them were our regular church members. I told them before the Lord Jesus Christ we are all clean, anywhere anytime. Then, people gathered around people who held the Bible in each Bibles more than six persons were reading. We started with  (1 Corinthians 13:4-8). Love is patient is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, and it is not proud. It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails..."

After reading these verses, a lady named Samira said, "I thank God that I have not married in Islamic tradition. The Lord has shown his truth for us. If we love each other, there will be no divorce." 

We gave a chance for people to wish to the couple. Many people said amazing things. especially after the ceremony. 7 ladies and two young men   gave their lives to Christ. Please rejoice with us and pray for our brother and sisters who gave themselves to Christ. Please wish well to the couple to have a nice life together. The couple are called Ibrahim and Juzia.

Greetings from G_____ Church. We honour the Lord, Jesus, for his love and provision. We have been sharing the gospel in our villages. Sometimes, we end up sharing the gospel with more than 50 Muslims in a day.  

The response of people was quite positive. But the only challenge we got was the lack of Bibles. Muslims who accepted Jesus Christ they immediately asked us to give them Bibles to read. But unfortunately, I and my friend _____ only had our one Bibles. We kept telling people that they should pray to God for He is going to provide. We will also ask our brothers to send us Bibles because we can not find them here in the market. So last year, when you sent us the fifty copies, it was a great breakthrough. It was a joyful moment when we distributed those Bibles. Many people prepared meals at their homes and brought in our church children, and people ate the food and expressed their thanks to the Lord. It was a direct answer to our prayers. Our brothers and sisters helped us in different places to share the gospel. Instead of we two preaching now, there are more than fifty preaching points. We are all wondering the time we accepted the Lord it was not easy, but these days, it's just normal. But what we really need is  pray for us to get more Bibles. Our generations are more active in reading. However, we need audio proclaimers for the old generation. For they have not gone to school. We also have seen some committed people who need to get some training to help us share the gospel in more detail. Our sincere thankfulness for our brother and sister who have never seen us and shared their love with us. Praise be to God our Lord Jesus Christ.

My beloved brothers and sisters in the Lord.  I am overwhelmed with your love for God. The study Bibles that you have blessed me with it has  changed my life. I was reading the Bible for myself and teaching to my fellow converts. But so many times, I was stuck. I go for advice and sometimes phones don't go through and my day would be very bad. There was a time I was reading the gospel of John 6:54 which says, "Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day."

I was so much confused, and I didn't know what to do. Many questions arose in my mind. I didn't get the answer. In our area, we don't have Internet to Google and see. Until I asked Pastor Alamadin, who clarified for me what Jesus meant by eating his flesh and drinking his blood. Which was a comparison between a temporary food that provides temporary life and eternal food that provides eternal life.  With a lot of connections in Old Testament and the New Testament.The manna that Israelites ate in wilderness and five breads that five thousand people ate. Until then, I got it.

But  now, many complicated matters are being clarified just in a minute. Like matters in Matthew 18:9, "If your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out." It's my prayer that all our fellow church leaders will get a study Bible. All in all, what would say is to give thanks to our Lord Jesus Christ who considered us also and joined us together in his Spirit. May the Lord bless you and reward you richly. 

Please pray with us that our God will prepare the hearts of Muslims to receive him.


God can do through people we never expect.
Youma was a Muslim lady who accepted the Lord in 2019. She became a member of our Church in Za_____. Her father forced her to marry a muslim man, though it was against her will. But after she got married, she shared the gospel with her Muslim husband. Good enough, the man accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Saviour. Youma said, "I gave thanks to the Lord for his gift. I have my Bible we read every day. So the Holy Spirit worked in his heart. He shared the gospel  with his friend Saad, and we became three. Again, I shared the gospel with Saad's wife, and she accepted the Lord. So we kept taking turn to pray in our home and in their home. My husband's two sisters and a brother joined us. Later, my young brother and elder sister joined us. Our number grew quite large. Saad's friends came and joined us, and they gave their lives to Christ. People loved the gospel when they saw us living the gospel. My husband and Saad travelled to Golo, and they shared Jesus Film with more than 500 hundred people. They have downloaded Bibles in their phones, and they used to share the gospel. I went to visit my husband, and I was surprised I found 170 people accepted the Lord. Who gothered regularly to pray and learn about Jesus Christ. But none of them have received a Bible. I was so happy that I could see these people expressing great things about Jesus Christ. I was not able to control my emotion, I have cried like a baby who found her lost mother. For I have seen what the Lord did in Zalingie and now in Golo. Please pray for Bibles to these brothers and sisters. We can't find them in our local markets.”

Thank you so much for the greatest gift I have ever received in my life. It is my greatest challenge to know how to appreciate you. But our Father who, is in heaven knows  to do that on my behalf. My beloved brothers and sisters, you have opened my eyes to see and hear something that I was totally blind of it. I have never expected that we had such a great  treasure that it was hidden from us. When I read my Bible and understand  what it says and I pray, my soul gets pure refreshment. I had no such experience in all my life when I was a muslim. The study Bible I have received wiped all my confusing points. I am very much blessed it is only me who received study Bible in my area. However, its my prayer that my fellow brothers in their preaching points will also have one. They call me now and then can you look for us this verse in the Bible, and I spend time looking up such a call. Please know that you are making a difference in the lost communities. I am happy with your presous gifts.


Impact of Messengers (Mp3 players loaded with digital NTs)
This base so fruitful to me in Khartoum.

As I kept the Messengers in the reception.area of the hotel where i am lodging, one was mistakenly pressed and it was talking through the night and the receptionist  was listening to it.

So yesterday after I have gone to eat food, when I came back going to sleep I found him talking his friends about what he has heard. As they saw me, they”  called me” they asked what was in your bag? I told them these were audio Bible, they said of  Muslims or Christian? I said of course Christian.

So they were like, so is it true that Christian God’s people, Jesus Christ was sacrificed on behalf of all people’s sin? How can you be sure your sin has been forgiven? So if my sin has been forgiven, will I now continue to live my life the way I want since God is not going to condemn me? A lot of question, almost all the people in the hotel gathered.

Now I was moved by the Holy Spirit to  go in and bring my bible, so I took them through the book of Romans.

We read chapter 6,7&8 so every body was amazed.

They said "wonderful!" and each one has given high five

They were like to fight for my bible. There are bibles in Khartoum you can buy them. They asked where can we get them? Can you bring for us? 

I told them ok tomorrow. The next day i took them 5 Bibles and they were so happy.
