Hajji Husman Mohamed - mantan Imam Ethiopia
Ethiopia - Former Imam and schoolboy beaten for their faith in Christ.
Menurut Voice of the Martyrs, Kristen evangelis di daerah mayoritas Islam di ALABA, terus megnalami pelecehan fisik, penyitaan dan penghancuran harta, pemerasan, penculikan dan pernikahan paksa.
Seorang siswa Kristen ditikam bertubi2 saat dlm perjalanan pulang ke rumah, February 1, 2005. Dan spt biasanya, polisi tidak pernah akan berbuat apa2.
Pada hari itu juga Alaba, Hajji Husman Mohamed dan keluarganya dipukuli sampai luka2 parah, termasuk istrinya yg hamil. Selama lebih dari satu jam, mereka menyiksa keluarga tsb. Bagi Hajji Husman, seorang mantan Imam, ini bukan insiden pertama. Sejak murtad bulan Maret 2003, kekayaannya dirampas, termasuk mebel, ternak dan hasil panen.
32 Kristen diusir dari desa Besheno, dekat Alaba. "Muslim mengorganisasi serangan itu dan kini mereka mengecek setiap kendaraan yg masuk ke desa tsb utk memastikan bahwa Kristen2 tsb tidak kembali," kata VOM.
Alaba adalah negara bagian Ethiopia pertama yg memberlakukan Hukum SHARIAH. 99% penduduknya = Muslim, hanya 1% = Kristen. Islam adalah identitas suku Alaba dan kata seorang pemimpin gereja, "Islam berarti Alaba dan Alaba berarti Islam."

Mohammed Amin - mantan ulama Ethiopia
Ulama disembuhkan dari AIDS
By Victor Oladokun
CBN WorldReach
Mohammed mendapatkan beasiswa utk belajar Quran dan bhs Arab di Saudi. 9 thn kemudian ia kembali ke tanah asalnya di ethiopia, JUMMA, dan mengajar di mesjid terbesar disana, sambil menyandang gelar SHEIKH !
Ini tidak menghentikannya dari kebiasaannya mengunjungi WTS. Akibatnya, ia kena AIDS dan tidak ada yg bisa menyembuhkannya.
Saat ia terbaring di rumah sakit, hampir mati, terjadilah mukjizat.
"Malam suntuk itu, saya mendapatkan sebuah visi," kata Amin. "Saya melihat sinar terang dan Yesus memasuki kamar saya. Ia memandang saya dgn penuh kasih dan mengatakan, 'Mohamad, bangun.'
"karena saya Muslim, saya jadi panik. Mana mungkin, pikir saya ... saya tidak kuat. Namun sosok yg dipenuhi cahaya itu mendekati terus dan menyentuh saya. Ia mengambil tangan saya dan duduk ditempat tidur saya terbaring. Saya tidak dapat menjelaskan perasaan saya ini. Sungguh mengagumkan. Saya kemudian diisi kebahagiaan & kedamaian."
Singkat kata, dlm 4 bulan ia sembuh dan tidak lagi ada tanda2 AIDS dlm tubuhnya. Sheik Mohammed Amin kemudian memilih utk meninggalkan Islam dan menjadi evangelis Kristen. Khususnya setelah dirawat penuh kasih oleh seorang Kristen, Ferea Lema.
Setiap harinya, Ferea merawat Mohamad dirumahnya, memberinya tempat tidur dan membasuh luka2nya pada tubuhnya yg masih mirip tengkorak. Ini sebuah kebaikan yg merubah hati saya secara total, katanya.

Tokoh2 Muslim AS MURTAD**
Khalif Majid Hassan - Former Islamic Preacher, Minister in the Nation of Islam
By 1974 I had started reading the Quran and other Islamic books. These books did not coincide with some of the teachings of Mr. Muhammad. Around this time Elijah Muhammad's son, Wallace D. Muhammad, started teaching the ministers in the Nation of Islam, probably to prepare the members for the death of his father. At the time of his death on February 26, 1975, I was in Chicago. That day Wallace D. Muhammad was declared the leader of the Nation of Islam. He reinterpreted some of the teachings of his father and even admitted some mistakes that his father had made. He claimed that his father was wrong for teaching that White people were devils. In this way, Wallace D. Muhammad began to bring the followers of Elijah Muhammad into the mainstream of Islam. I can remember when Elijah Muhammad was asked by a foreign Muslim, "Mr. Muhammad, what is this strange teaching that you are teaching the people." Elijah Muhammad replied, "I am not here to teach Islam. I am here to save a baby from the fire." Wallace Muhammad taught that his father wanted to wake up the sleeping black giant by sending a shock wave throughout the Black community.
I read the entire Quran and any book about Islam that I could find. Since no Muslim can pray properly in English, I learned to say my prayers in Arabic. I began to travel and study intensively under imams in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Nigeria. I read as many Hadith's about the traditions of Prophet Muhammad as I could. Because of my study, I eventually obtained the position of an imam. I delivered sermons in the mosque, led congregational prayers, and taught Islam on college campuses, in schools, and in communities. I began preaching very strongly against Christianity.
Around 1985, I began discussing Islam with my family. Islam teaches that Allah is one, not three. How could he be one and three at the same time? I read the Bible from Genesis to Revelation, but I could not comprehend the concept of three in one.
My twin sister was attending a school called Christ for the Nations in Texas. We often wrote to each other. She wrote her views on Jesus Christ as the Son of God. I wrote about Jesus Christ as a prophet from my Islamic perspective.
Once I wrote telling my sister that Jesus could not have died on the cross, otherwise it would have been like committing suicide, since one man cannot die for everybody's sins. She phoned and told me, "Regardless of what you say or believe, Jesus died for your sins and he loves you. Someday you are going to accept Christ and become a Christian." I responded, "Not in a million years!" We continued to write and call each other. I also had conversations with my other two sisters and mother about Islam versus Christianity.
One day, my sister and I were talking on the phone when she said, "I have been praying for you and I challenge you to pray and ask God to prove to you that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and that he died on the cross for your sins." I accepted the challenge, because I love challenges and because I was confident in Islam. I decided that if God would prove to me that Christ died for my sins, then I would become a Christian. If not, I would teach and promote Islam like never before. I prayed that prayer often. I did not realize until later that hundreds of people were praying for my conversion.

31. Jeremiah Fard Muhammad - Muslim minister, now Christian evangelist
The life of Dr. Jeremiah Cummings is so much like the life of the apostle Paul in that he too opposed Christianity as a Minister and Student under Minster Louis Farrakhan of the Nation of Islam for nine and a half years.
But in 1997 Minister Jeremiah Fard Muhammad came to know Christ as his Savior in a mighty way. After thirteen months of intense study and forty-three days of fasting and prayer, God filled Jeremiah Fard Muhammad with the Holy Ghost. God called Jeremiah Cummings to be an Evangelist to the world and a teacher that will reach the 1.2 billion Muslims whom the Bible calls the seed of Ishmael. He has appeared on TBN, Daystar, the World Television Networks, and the 700 Club. Prior to Islam in the 1970's, Jeremiah Cummings was the first tenor for the world renowned group Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes and recorded on three gold and two platinum albums including "If You Don't Know Me By Now" and "Wakeup Everybody".
Now an ambassador for Christ, Jeremiah Cummings is the President / Founder of Worldwide International Campaign for Christ, through which over 160,000 former Muslims have now converted to Christianity and over 200,000 non-believers are also now in the kingdom of God through his preaching. He is currently reaching people of Jordan, Iraq, Egypt, Syria, and West Africa with the Arabic Bible in an attempt to spread Christ into the Middle East.

Saleh Hussaini - mantan Ulama Nigeria
From Nigerian Christians Tested by Fire...
http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/CWN/010613ni ... cution.asp
Saleh Hussaini is an evangelist in the northern state of Kano, which is under Islamic sharia law. There, Muslim violence has inflicted a lot of pain on the church there.
Hussaini is a former Muslim cleric who, himself, persecuted Christians until he came to Christ in 1977.
Saleh said, "Most of our women are now widows, they are on the street because of the religious persecution. We have so many children on the street. The church cannot care for them, because the church has not yet seen the need to take these children."
For many Christians the pain they have had to endure in Nigeria will go with them the rest of their lives.

Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo - mantan Muslim, kini memimpin gereja paling cepat pertumbuhannya di UK (di seluruh Eropa, malah !)
Nigerian born Matthew Ashimolowo is senior pastor of Kingsway International Christian Centre, a church often described as the fastest growing in Europe. KICC services are held in a five thousand seater auditorium in north London. Ashimolowo presides over a congregation of thousands, which has expanded rapidly under his leadership. Church members now worship in shifts. The church has plans to build another arena to accommodate new members that will seat ten thousand worshippers at a time. It is reported that by 2010, the evangelical pastor aims to have increased KICC's membership to twenty-five thousand.

Katanya :
di Lagos, ibukota Nigeria, pertemuan evangelis per bulan membludak sampai mencapai 500.000-1000.000 pengikut, sampai Muslim ketakutan membawa anak2 mereka ke Mesjid setiap hari Jumat kalau2 mereka ketemu orang Kristen dan jadi Kristen.
Pemerintah 1/3-1/2 eksekutif murtad. Sebagian besar pejabat eksekutif dlm ke 36 negara bagian, murtad ! 2 gubernur Muslim murtad secara terbuka.
Mengapa ada persepsi bahwa Islam agama terpesat pertumbuhannya ? Ini karena Barat memang tidak mengalami pertumbuhan, namun di negara dunia ketiga, murtad membludak ! Mereka tidak lagi mau religion, tapi sebuah relation dgn Tuhan mereka. Islam tidak menawarkan sebuah relation/hubungan dgn Tuhan. Hanya dlm Kristen, Tuhan dipanggil sbg BAPAK.
Islam = fatalism, takdir, que sera sera. Kristen = mengajarkan manusia utk mengubah nasib lewat Kristus ! Tidak pasrah pada takdir.
Ttg Perbudakan : utk setiap 1 budak yg diambil bule, ada 14 budak yg diambil Muslim dari Timur Tengah.
Barat mengambil budak utk kepentingan ekonomi, Islam mengambil budak utk SEX. Sampai ada 1 khalif dgn 3000 gundik. Perbudakan hanya baru saja dihapuskan di negara2 Islam th 1965 Saudi, th 1991 di Sudan. (Mauritania, baru tahun ini.)

Abdullahi Jibril - Muslim Extremis Nigeria yg kini dikejar Muslim karena Murtad
The Miraculous Journey of a Former Persecutor of the Church
There was a time when Abdullahi Jibril seized every opportunity to persecute Christians in Nigeria. Now that he has converted to Christianity, he has become one of the persecuted.
"I was a great Muslim fundamentalist, waging war against Christians and Christianity," Jibril, 28, told Compass. "I commanded a group of 15 fellow anti-Christians and we went about disrupting church crusades in Kano."
While still a Muslim, Jibril acquired voodoo powers from witch doctors. These occult powers, he said, assisted him greatly in his persecution of Christians, and protected him physically during attacks.
However, on December 14, 1996, everything changed.
"There was this crusade going on in Koki Local Government Area in Kano state, and my group and I were determined to stop it," Jibril said. "When we got to this crusade ground, I was supposed to order my group to swing into action, being the leader. But as I stepped on the ground, I immediately became weak in the spirit, and physically I began to shake," he explained.
Confused by what was happening, Jibril left the crusade ground and returned home. There the problem worsened. He became restless and was shaking as if demon-possessed, he said. Then, for some unexplainable reason, Jabril picked up the Bible he'd used in arguing with Christians, and began to read. Conviction for his "crimes" gripped his heart.
"I then shouted, Lord Jesus help me!" he said, and suddenly experienced peace of mind. The confusion and shaking were gone.
Returning alone to the crusade ground, Jibril met secretly with a pastor, confessed his sins, and received Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior.
"I began to go to church secretly, but went to the mosque openly," he said, because he was afraid of his parents and others Muslims.
Two months later, in February 1997, he decided to fully embrace Christ and abandon his Islamic faith. He stopped going to the mosque and devoted his time to attending church activities. His parents noticed and asked him, "Are you now a Christian?" Deciding to be bold, Jabril confirmed his parents' fears.
"The battle with my parents continued until April this year, when my parents could not tolerate me anymore," he said. "They have disowned me, and so l have been forced to leave home. Since then, l have been moving around the country, trying to escape persecution and preaching the goodness of our Lord Jesus Christ to others.
"Many Muslims have also threatened to deal with me. Some have said they will kill me. I am not afraid to die" Jibril says.

Emmanuel - Bekas Imam yang Menjadi Penginjil
http://www.theelijahchallenge.org/Emman ... m#personal
KESAKSIAN EMMANUEL
Sebelum Kelahiranku
Ketika ibu mengandung saya sebagai anak yang ketiga, dia sedang berjalan ke pasar dan dia bertemu seseorang yang mengatakan bahwa anak yang dikandungnya akan menjadi seorang Imam (ahli agama Islam). Orang itu salah terka sebab saya kelak akan menjadi pendeta yang menyebarkan kabar baik Yesus Kristus dan bagaimana Ia disalib. Ketika saya lahir, di usia dua tahun saya dimasukkan ke sekolah Islam. Pada usia 9 tahun, saya sudah mempelajari 60 buku2 Qur’an dan saya memenuhi syarat untuk menjadi ustad atau ahli agama Islam. Pada usia 9 tahun, saya sudah berkhotbah dan mengajar beberapa pelajar, kebanyakan lelaki dan wanita dewasa.
Misteri Qur’an
Qur’an adalah buku suci agama Islam, tapi setiap ayat dan kitabnya dapat digunakan untuk guna2 hitam atau putih. Saya katakan demikian karena saya sudah mempelajarinya setelah saya menjadi ahli agama Islam. Yang paling berbahaya adalah kitab Yasin. Ayat2 di kitab ini dapat digunakan untuk menghancurkan kehidupan, untuk melindungi terhadap musuh2 dan untuk mendapat kekayaan. Ketika saya masih jadi muslim, saya membuat jimat2 dengan ayat2 Qur’an, seperti jimat anti guna2, jimat agar disukai, jimat kebal peluru, dan bahkan jimat untuk menghilang waktu berdiri di depan tembok. Saya sedang mencoba membuat jimat untuk menghilang pada saat saya ditangkap Yesus Kristus.
Saya pribadi membantu banyak orang membuat jimat2 dengan menggunakan ayat2 dan kitab2 Qur’an. Ironisnya, jimat2 tidak tahan lama dan biasanya malah tidak ampuh pada saat sangat diperlukan. Hanya harapan pada Yesus Kristus saja yang tidak pernah gagal sebab orang yang percaya padaNya tidak akan kecewa atau dipermalukan. Dialah harapan yang pasti dan pertolongan yang tepat waktu di saat diperlukan.
Terorisme
Setiap anak yang lahir di lingkungan Islam fanatik dicuci otaknya dan dicekoki ajaran2 yang membenci orang Kristen dan orang kulit putih sebagai musuh mereka dan musuh Tuhan. Anak2 Muslim dari kecil tumbuh dengan penuh kebencian terhadap orang Kristen. Di dunia Muslim dipercayai bahwa jika seorang Muslim membunuh seorang Kristen, dia akan menerima upah dari Allah dan jika dia terbunuh maka dia akan pergi ke surga dan diberi tujuh istri yang masih perawan. Karena pengetahuan ini, setiap Muslim jadi siap mati untuk Islam, ini adalah alasan di balik pembom bunuh diri. Mereka menyebut tindakan ini sebagai Jihad, artinya perang suci.
Saya diracuni dengan kebencian terhadap orang Kristen sejak saya kecil, terutama terhadap pendeta dan orang kulit putih. Kami tidak menganggap mereka sebagai manusia tapi kami melihatnya sebagai musuh Allah. Dengan kebencian ini di dalam hati, kami melakukan banyak keonaran pada mereka. Jika mereka bereaksi terhadap rencana kami, kami lalu membakar gereja2 dan rumah2 mereka. Saya beruntung belum pernah membunuh orang Kristen, tapi kawan saya melakukannya setiap saat dengan senang hati. Pembunuhan terhadap orang Kristen di Nigeria Utara terus-menerus berlangsung karena kami melihatnya sebagai melakukan tugas Allah. Ini adalah semangat tanpa pengetahuan.
Peralihanku
Pada usia 15 thaun, kami membakar dan membunuhi banyak orang Kristen. Setelah melakukan semuanya, saya merasa tidak puas. Sepertinya ada yang kurang dalam hidup saya tapi saya tidak dapat menjelaskan apa itu. Di lubuk hati saya bertanya jika saya mati sekarang, ke mana saya pergi? Saya merasa begitu bingung dan mulai berkata pada diri sendiri jika saya jadi orang Kristen dan pada akhirnya Islam adalah jalan ke surga, apakah yang akan saya lakukan? Saya benar2 bingung dan sangat membutuhkan bantuan dari Tuhan. Dalam hati saya mengakui bahwa orang Kristen itu tidak bersalah dan sabar. Mereka tidak membalas meskipun diperlakukan begitu jelek oleh kami. Saya kemudian menyimpulkan bahwa Yesus tentunya jalan ke surga. Tapi dengan singkat, saya kembali ke pendirian saya semula bahwa Islamlah jalan menuju Tuhan.
Suatu hari, kami sedang membuat jimat untuk menghilang dengan kawan saya bernama Charles yang dulunya Kristen tapi beralih ke Islam. Bagi kami, perpindahan agama ini amatlah menyenangkan. Inilah yang biasanya kami lakukan jika kami berjumpa dengan orang Kristen. Kami mencoba merubah agama mereka dan banyak yang beralih agama, termasuk para pendeta, karena iming2 duit.
Waktu kami sedang membuat jimat, beberapa penyebar Injil datang pada kami dan berkhotbah firman Tuhan pada kami. Kata2 yang ke luar dari mulut mereka bagaikan pedang. Kata2 itu betul2 menembus hati saya. Di akhir khotbah, mereka membawa kami untuk mengenal Yesus karena kami tidak dapat menolak kekuatan Tuhan dalam diri mereka. Tapi ketika mereka menanyakan nama dan alamat saya, saya beri informasi palsu. Tapi Tuhan terus mengikuti jejak saya.
Pengalaman supernatural
Setelah para penginjil itu mendoakan kami, saya bimbang akan dua pilihan. Malam itu, saya mendapat penglihatan rohani. Untuk pertama kalinya dalam hidup saya, saya melihat Tuhan berkhotbah dengan megaphone di jalan. Saya melihat orang2 yang belum lahir kembali terdorong oleh kekuatan supernatural untuk mengikuti Dia, tapi pengaruh supernatural ini tidak tampak bagi umat Tuhan yang sudah lahir baru. Saya adalah satu dari antara orang2 yang terdorong untuk mengikuti Dia dan kami dibawa ke padang yang sangat luas. Tuhan dalam bentuk manusia itu berkata pada kami bahwa orang2 yang ingin lahir kembali harus menunggu dan bagi yang belum siap hendaknya pergi saja. Lalu banyak orang2 pergi, tapi beberapa termasuk saya tinggal. Tiba2 saya mendengar suara halilintar. Saya takut dan saya melihat Yesus berdiri di atas batu dan berkata:
Datanglah kamu semua yang lelah dan berbeban berat, Aku akan menyegarkanmu. Ikutlah perintahKu dan belajarlah daripadaKu. Sebab Aku ini lemah lembut dan rendah hati, maka kamu akan merasa segar. Karena perintah2Ku menyenangkan, dan beban yang Kutanggungkan atasmu ringan.
(Matius 11:28-30)
Di hari kemudian, saya membaca kalimat ini di Alkitab. Setelah penglihatan ini, saya bangun dari tidur dan setelah itu saya memberikan hidup saya untuk Tuhan Yesus.
Penindasan
Di lingkungan Muslim, jika ada seorang Muslim yang beralih agama, ia secara otomatis sudah menjadi musuh Tuhan. Islam menganjurkan orang Muslim untuk membunuh orang yang pindah agama, dengan janji mereka akan mendapat upah di surga. Karena alasan ini, ayah saya dan beberapa ketua Muslim mengumumkan dan menetapkan bahwa saya harus dibunuh. Banyak usaha mereka lakukan untuk membunuhku tapi Tuhan meluputkan saya dari semua usaha itu. Setelah saya beralih agama, saya berhenti berkhotbah pada saat teman2 saya berlatih. Saya dulu suka berjalan dengan gagah ke mesjid. Tapi semua tidak saya lakukan lagi. Bahkan saya menjauhkan diri dari mereka. Semua ini saya lakukan tanpa memperlihatkan kepercayaan saya yang baru dengan alasan takut ketahuan. Tapi tak lama kemudian, mereka mengetahuinya dan berita ini menyebar bagaikan api di semak kering karena status terhormat saya sebagai ahli agama Islam termuda.
Di suatu malam ketika saya tidur, sekelompok orang Muslim dikirim untuk membunuh saya. Mereka menculik saya ke sebuah rumah bertingkat di mana kawan2 mereka sudah menunggu saya di kegelapan. Di dalam ruangan itu pintu ditutup dengan balok kayu dan saya dipukuli dari berbagai arah. Di saat tertentu saya benar2 sudah tidak bisa bernafas lagi. Tapi kemudian saya dengar suara yang menyuruh saya mendekat ke pintu. Saya turuti pesan suara itu dan tiba2 saya sudah berada di luar rumah. Ini bukan hasil kerja jimat2 saya karena semua jimat2ku sudah kubakar melalui kegiatan pelepasan roh jahat yang dilakukan oleh seorang pendeta. Lagipula jimat2 itu tidak bisa memindahkan seseorang ke luar ruangan, dan hanya bisa membuat orang yang berdiri di tempat yang sama menghilang (raib). Yang terjadi pada saya benar2 kerja tangan Tuhan.
Begitu para penyerangku ke luar dan melihat saya, mereka mengejarku sambil berteriak, “Maling, maling!!” Di bagian utara Nigeria, orang2 akan membunuh maling yang ketangkap basah. Karena para penyerangku sudah bertekad hendak membunuhku, merekapun tidak peduli andaikata saya dikeroyok massa hingga mati. Orang banyak mengeroyok saya, melempari batu, dan memukuli saya dengan kayu dan besi dari segala penjuru. Rasa sakit yang saya derita luar biasa sampai saya tidak bisa lari lagi dan akhirnya jatuh. Saya sangka ini adalah akhir hidupku. Saya mengambil keputusan untuk tidak menyerah. Kalaupun saya mati, biarlah saya mati di dalam Tuhan dan andaikata saya hidup, biarlah saya hidup di dalam Dia. Saya berdoa,”Bapa, jangan biarkan mereka menanggung dosa mereka, ampuni mereka karena mereka tidak tahu apa yang mereka lakukan.” Seketika setelah saya selesai berdoa, saya mendengar suara, “Anakku, bangunlah.” Saya berdiri dan saya merasakan sendiri berlari dengan kecepatan cahaya meninggalkan jauh para pengeroyok saya, tetapi saya tidak merasakan kaki saya mengijak bumi. Rasanya seperti menggunakan kaki Roh Kudus. Saya berlari ke gedung yang baru dibangun dan berpagar di sekelilingnya. Pada saat saya berusaha memanjat pagar, suatu kekuatan mengangkat saya. Sebelum saya menyadari apa yang terjadi, saya sudah berada di bagian lain gedung itu. Sungguh suatu hal yang di luar imajinasi saya.
Pada saat itu saya berusia 16 tahun. Saya terpaksa berhenti sekolah selama setahun karena orang2 itu terus mencari dan berusaha membunuh saya, sampai ke sekolah sekalipun. Bahkan para ketua gerejaku pun ketakutan atas ancaman orang Muslim yang akan membakar gereja kalau melindungiku. Banyak yang berusaha mengubah keputusan saya, termasuk beberapa pastor. Mereka menghasut saya untuk kembali memeluk Islam mumpung saya masih muda. Mereka bilang kalau saya sudah dewasa nanti, saya bisa kembali kepada Tuhan. Saya berkata pada mereka bahwa saya telah menyerahkan diri kepada Kristus dan tidak mau balik lagi. Karena nyawa saya terancam, saya harus menyembunyikan diri di gunung. Tiada yang berani memberi inapan buat saya karena ancaman orang Muslim. Saya tinggal di gunung sendirian selama 6 bulan. Banyak ular, kalajengking, dan berbagai binatang melata.
Suatu waktu pada saat saya tidur, seekor ular memanjat badan saya dan berlalu. Saya terjaga dan melihatnya pergi. Saya tidak takut sebab Alkitab berkata di Markus 16:18 bahwa orang percaya akan memegang ular dan tidak mati. Suatu waktu saya meninggalkan gunung. Saya pulang dari gereja jam 8 malam dan 50 orang pemuda mengejar saya dengan cepat. Saya mampu menghindari mereka tetapi seseorang berhasil menyusul dan berusaha menusuk kepala saya dengan pisau. Saya bisa menghindari tusukan. Satu tusukan lagi diarahkan ke dada, saya tangkis dengan kaki, tapi kaki saya tertusuk pisau. Ketika saya masuk rumah sakit, sebagian daging saya diperiksa oleh dokter dan dibawa ke laboratorium. Dokter bilang pisaunya beracun. Saya menderita sakit untuk beberapa lama, tapi akhirnya sembuh secara ajaib. Sampai sekarang bekas tusukan itu masih nampak.
Di lain waktu, ketika saya sedang pergi membeli obat ke apotek, sekitar 20 pemuda Muslim menyerang saya dan meminta Alkitabku. Saya bilang saya tidak bawa Alkitab. Beberapa orang berkata,”Tusuk dia!”, tapi yang lain bilang jangan, sehingga akhirnya saya diperkenankan pergi. Ketika saya berada dalam apotek, sebuah suara mengatakan padaku untuk mengambil jalan ke luar lain dan saya turuti. Di kemudian hari saya mendengar bahwa para pemuda itu berusaha untuk membunuh saya lagi. Mereka masuk apotek tersebut dan bertanya kepada apoteker di mana saya. Ketika tidak mendapatkan saya, mereka menggoreskan tanda salib dengan pisau di badan apoteker itu dan memukulinya sampai setengah mati. Untunglah ada orang Samaria yang baik hati yang menolongnya ke rumah sakit.
Di lain waktu, seorang ulama Muslim terkenal yang dulu merupakan pembimbingku dikirim orang untuk memantau gerak-gerikku. Dia sangat tidak senang atas perubahan imanku. Tiga orang kirimannya menculik dan memasukkan saya ke dalam bagasi mobil mereka. Saya dibawa ke dalam rumah besar mereka. Saya diberi waktu tiga hari untuk beralih kepercayaan atau menghadapi konsekuensinya. Saya gunakan waktu tiga hari itu untuk berkhotbah pada pengawal penjara yang kemudian bertobat dan membuka pintu penjara. Kami berdua melarikan diri karena mengetahui bahwa nasibnya juga dalam bahaya setelah menerima penjelasan illahi dari saya.
Tiga bulan setelah kejadia itu, saya sekali lagi diculik oleh sekelompok pemuda Muslim di sekolah. Mereka mengelabui saya dan memassukan saya kembali ke penjara. Kembali saya berkhotbah pada penjaga penjara yang juga kemudian membuka pintu penjara dan bersama saya melarikan diri. Ini adalah pengalaman saya melarikan diri dari penculikan dan penguruan dalam penjara yang semuanya dirancang oleh ahli Islam terkemuka yang sekarang sudah meninggal dunia.
Suatu hari saya berada di hutan yang dekat dengan rumah saya. Seorang Muslim menembak saya dengan senjata api. Pelurunya menerjang dadaku dan jatuh ke tanah tanpa melukaiku. Ketika saya melihat ke depan, orang itu sudah siap menembak lagi. Matanya tampak hijau sepertinya ada roh pembunuh dalam dirinya. Dia bertekad untuk membunuh saya.
Seorang dokter Muslim yang terkemuka berkata padaku bahwa saya main2 dengan mereka. Dia berjanji bahwa dia akan menggunakan kepala saya sebagai jimat untuk orang2. Setelah beberapa bulan, kulitnya berubah jadi gelap, semakin gelap, dan akhirnya dia mati.
Ayahku sendiri mencoba membunuh saya dengan tombak besi yang tajam, tapi Tuhan dengan ajaib mengelakkan saya.
Pada bulan February 2002, terjadi pembunuhan orang Kristen di bagian Utara Nigeria di Kaduna, propinsi saya. Sekitar 5.000 orang Kirsten dibunuh. Rumah2 orang Kristen dibakar habis. Pada saat itu saya sudah menjadi pengkhotbah terkenal di propinsi saya. Saya diarah untuk dibunuh, tetapi mereka tidak bisa menyentuhku. Mereka datang beberapa kali ke rumah saya, tapi Tuhan tidak memungkinkan mereka membunuhku. Suatu saat mereka hampir saja membunuh kakak lakiku karena mirip dengan saya. Meskipun kakakku Muslim, diapun harus melarikan diri untuk menyelamatkan nyawanya. Tempat beribadah saya dibakar, termasuk rumah wanita yang memberi kami tempat beribadah. Semua perlengkapan kami dihancurkan. Pada waktu saya menyadari bahwa saya tidak bisa tinggal lagi di bagian Utara Nigeria karena alasan keamanan, saya pindah ke bagian Selatan di mana saya saat ini sedang melayani Tuhan.
Panggilan saya untuk memberitakan Injil
Saya punya tugas Illahi untuk menyebarkan Injil di dunia, terutama di dunia Muslim. Karena itu saya butuh dukungan dari kalian kawan seiman dalam bentuk apapun. Tahun lalu, Tuhan berkata pada saya dengan suara yang sangat jelas bahwa dia mengaruniai saya kemampuan penyembuhan. Tapi saya tidak terlalu tahu bagaimana menggunakannya sampai Tuhan mengirim Brother William (dari Elijah’s Challenge) ke propinsi Enugu di Nigeria. Bahkan sebelum pertemuan ini, Tuhan sudah menghubungkan saya dengan dia melalui websitenya untuk bertanya apakah ada orang di Nigeria yang bisa melatih saya melakukan penyembuhan Illahi. Beliau lalu mengundang saya ke Enugu di mana Tuhan memberitahukan pada saya prinsip2 utama dan pelaksanaan penyembuhan Illahi pada orang sakit. Hari ini saya bisa berkata bahwa Tuhan sudah memenuhi janjinya melalui pertemuan saya dengan Brother William karena saya sendiri sekarang melihat bagaimana orang2 seketika sembuh di tempat kebaktianku. Dengan izin Tuhan, di tahun 2005 kami akan terus mendemonstrasikan tanda2, muzizat2, dan penyebuhan2 Illahi ke berbagai tempat.

KESAKSIAN EMMANUEL
Sebelum Kelahiranku
Ketika ibu mengandung saya sebagai anak yang ketiga, dia sedang berjalan ke pasar dan dia bertemu seseorang yang mengatakan bahwa anak yang dikandungnya akan menjadi seorang Imam (ahli agama Islam). Orang itu salah terka sebab saya kelak akan menjadi pendeta yang menyebarkan kabar baik Yesus Kristus dan bagaimana Ia disalib. Ketika saya lahir, di usia dua tahun saya dimasukkan ke sekolah Islam. Pada usia 9 tahun, saya sudah mempelajari 60 buku2 Qur’an dan saya memenuhi syarat untuk menjadi ustad atau ahli agama Islam. Pada usia 9 tahun, saya sudah berkhotbah dan mengajar beberapa pelajar, kebanyakan lelaki dan wanita dewasa.
Misteri Qur’an
Qur’an adalah buku suci agama Islam, tapi setiap ayat dan kitabnya dapat digunakan untuk guna2 hitam atau putih. Saya katakan demikian karena saya sudah mempelajarinya setelah saya menjadi ahli agama Islam. Yang paling berbahaya adalah kitab Yasin. Ayat2 di kitab ini dapat digunakan untuk menghancurkan kehidupan, untuk melindungi terhadap musuh2 dan untuk mendapat kekayaan. Ketika saya masih jadi muslim, saya membuat jimat2 dengan ayat2 Qur’an, seperti jimat anti guna2, jimat agar disukai, jimat kebal peluru, dan bahkan jimat untuk menghilang waktu berdiri di depan tembok. Saya sedang mencoba membuat jimat untuk menghilang pada saat saya ditangkap Yesus Kristus.
Saya pribadi membantu banyak orang membuat jimat2 dengan menggunakan ayat2 dan kitab2 Qur’an. Ironisnya, jimat2 tidak tahan lama dan biasanya malah tidak ampuh pada saat sangat diperlukan. Hanya harapan pada Yesus Kristus saja yang tidak pernah gagal sebab orang yang percaya padaNya tidak akan kecewa atau dipermalukan. Dialah harapan yang pasti dan pertolongan yang tepat waktu di saat diperlukan.
Terorisme
Setiap anak yang lahir di lingkungan Islam fanatik dicuci otaknya dan dicekoki ajaran2 yang membenci orang Kristen dan orang kulit putih sebagai musuh mereka dan musuh Tuhan. Anak2 Muslim dari kecil tumbuh dengan penuh kebencian terhadap orang Kristen. Di dunia Muslim dipercayai bahwa jika seorang Muslim membunuh seorang Kristen, dia akan menerima upah dari Allah dan jika dia terbunuh maka dia akan pergi ke surga dan diberi tujuh istri yang masih perawan. Karena pengetahuan ini, setiap Muslim jadi siap mati untuk Islam, ini adalah alasan di balik pembom bunuh diri. Mereka menyebut tindakan ini sebagai Jihad, artinya perang suci.
Saya diracuni dengan kebencian terhadap orang Kristen sejak saya kecil, terutama terhadap pendeta dan orang kulit putih. Kami tidak menganggap mereka sebagai manusia tapi kami melihatnya sebagai musuh Allah. Dengan kebencian ini di dalam hati, kami melakukan banyak keonaran pada mereka. Jika mereka bereaksi terhadap rencana kami, kami lalu membakar gereja2 dan rumah2 mereka. Saya beruntung belum pernah membunuh orang Kristen, tapi kawan saya melakukannya setiap saat dengan senang hati. Pembunuhan terhadap orang Kristen di Nigeria Utara terus-menerus berlangsung karena kami melihatnya sebagai melakukan tugas Allah. Ini adalah semangat tanpa pengetahuan.
Peralihanku
Pada usia 15 thaun, kami membakar dan membunuhi banyak orang Kristen. Setelah melakukan semuanya, saya merasa tidak puas. Sepertinya ada yang kurang dalam hidup saya tapi saya tidak dapat menjelaskan apa itu. Di lubuk hati saya bertanya jika saya mati sekarang, ke mana saya pergi? Saya merasa begitu bingung dan mulai berkata pada diri sendiri jika saya jadi orang Kristen dan pada akhirnya Islam adalah jalan ke surga, apakah yang akan saya lakukan? Saya benar2 bingung dan sangat membutuhkan bantuan dari Tuhan. Dalam hati saya mengakui bahwa orang Kristen itu tidak bersalah dan sabar. Mereka tidak membalas meskipun diperlakukan begitu jelek oleh kami. Saya kemudian menyimpulkan bahwa Yesus tentunya jalan ke surga. Tapi dengan singkat, saya kembali ke pendirian saya semula bahwa Islamlah jalan menuju Tuhan.
Suatu hari, kami sedang membuat jimat untuk menghilang dengan kawan saya bernama Charles yang dulunya Kristen tapi beralih ke Islam. Bagi kami, perpindahan agama ini amatlah menyenangkan. Inilah yang biasanya kami lakukan jika kami berjumpa dengan orang Kristen. Kami mencoba merubah agama mereka dan banyak yang beralih agama, termasuk para pendeta, karena iming2 duit.
Waktu kami sedang membuat jimat, beberapa penyebar Injil datang pada kami dan berkhotbah firman Tuhan pada kami. Kata2 yang ke luar dari mulut mereka bagaikan pedang. Kata2 itu betul2 menembus hati saya. Di akhir khotbah, mereka membawa kami untuk mengenal Yesus karena kami tidak dapat menolak kekuatan Tuhan dalam diri mereka. Tapi ketika mereka menanyakan nama dan alamat saya, saya beri informasi palsu. Tapi Tuhan terus mengikuti jejak saya.
Pengalaman supernatural
Setelah para penginjil itu mendoakan kami, saya bimbang akan dua pilihan. Malam itu, saya mendapat penglihatan rohani. Untuk pertama kalinya dalam hidup saya, saya melihat Tuhan berkhotbah dengan megaphone di jalan.

(Matius 11:28-30)

Barack Obama
Barack Hussein Obama, Jr. (lahir August 4, 1961) adalah senator muda AS dari Illinois. Dia mendapatkan banyak perhatian sewaktu menyampaikan pesannya ketika dia masih jadi Senator di Negara Bagian Illinois. Di bulan November 2004, Obama menang pemilu di Senat AS dengan 2/3 pendapatan suara. Obama merupakan orang negro ketiga yang terpilih menjadi anggota Senat AS dan satu2nya orang negro yang sekarang memegang jabatan Senat.
Ayahnya negro Muslim dan Obama lahir sebagai Muslim. Ayah tirinya adalah Muslim Indonesia, lhoooo!! Ibunya adalah humanis sekuler - hampir sama dengan atheis. Ayahnya yakni Barack Obama Sr., dibesarkan sebagai Muslim oleh seorang ahli ekonomi dari Kenya yang tidak terlalu relijius. Ayah Obama meninggalkannya ketika dia baru berusia 2 tahun.

Ali El-Shariff murtad....
http://www.ministrytomuslims.com/speakers.html
Ali El-Shariff was born in Sudan to a Muslim family. His father was considered a great religious leader in his life. By the age of five years old, Ali memorized three-quarters of the Qu’ran because Ali’s father wanted him to inherit his position. Not only was Ali a devout Muslim, but he also participated in political activism. His political activism caused him to be in exile because of his government’s policies.
During his exile he had questions about his faith, but never dared ask his Muslim friends for fear of being persecuted. Praise God, in 1995, he met Christians and was willing to talk with them about Christ. After several discussions with two women and a pastor, he began to believe Jesus was God. But, it was not until two months of attending church that he decided to accept Christ as his savior and proclaim his faith.
Once he proclaimed his faith, he was persecuted by Muslims in Zaire, and about to die. Fortunately, he was able to move to Canada in 1999 and avoid being murdered.
Through Jeremiah 29:14, the Lord has called Ali to go and tell Muslims about Jesus Christ. Ali is currently an online pastor of hundreds of Muslim background believers in the Middle East. He is also a Doctor of Ministry candidate at Providence Theological Seminary where he previously earned a Master of Arts in Global Christian Studies in 2001.

George Weah
Dari Kristen, masuk Islam, balik lagi ke Kristen
George Manneh Oppong Ousman Weah (born October 1, 1966 in Monrovia[1]) is a Liberian politician and former football forward. He spent 14 years of his professional football career playing for clubs in France, Italy, and England, winning titles in two of the three countries. In 1995, he was named FIFA World Player of the Year, European Footballer of the Year, and African Footballer of the Year. He is commonly regarded as one of the greatest African footballers of all time.[2] Weah has since become a humanitarian and politician in Liberia, and ran unsuccessfully in the 2005 Liberian presidential election, losing to Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf in the second round of voting.
He is an ex-Muslim, and has stated, "I'm a Christian now, but I practiced Islam for ten years before converting to Christianity. One thing I want the world to know is that the world should be peaceful. It's not good for Muslims and Christians to fight against each other - we are one people. There's no need for people to kill each other. I pray for peace for everybody - for Muslim and Christian. For black, white, green, yellow and brown."

Eldridge Cleaver
Eldridge Cleaver (August 31, 1935 – May 1, 1998) was an author and a prominent American civil rights leader who began as a dominant member of the Black Panther Party.
Born in Wabbaseka, Arkansas, Cleaver's family moved to Phoenix and then to Los Angeles. As a teenager he was involved in petty crime, and in 1957 was convicted of assault with intent to murder. While in prison, he wrote a book of essays, Soul on Ice, which was influential in the black power movement and now widely considered a classic. In the book, Cleaver infamously acknowledges the rape of several white women, which he defended as "an insurrectionary act." He also admitted that he began his career as a rapist by "practicing on black girls in the ghetto." He maintains that his felonious acts have nothing to do with the views expressed in the book. Cleaver was released from prison in 1966, after which he joined the Oakland-based Black Panther Party, serving as Minister of Information (spokesperson).
He was a Presidential candidate in 1968 on the ticket of the Peace and Freedom Party. That very year, he was injured in a confrontation between the Panthers and Oakland police. Charged with attempted murder, he jumped bail to flee to Algeria – where he was joined by Timothy Leary. Cleaver placed Leary under "revolutionary arrest" (kidnapped) as a counter-revolutionary, although Leary was later released. Cleaver later left Algeria, and spent time in Cuba and France.
In his 1978 book Soul on Ice[1] Cleaver revealed several aspects of his exile in Algeria:
Cleaver was supported by regular stipends from the Republic of North Vietnam, with which the United States was then at war.
Cleaver was followed by other former-criminals-turned-revolutionaries, many of whom hijacked planes to get to Algeria. The Algerians expected Cleaver to keep his proteges in line, which he described as increasingly difficult as their increasing numbers stretched his North Vietnamese allowance to the breaking point. Cleaver organized a stolen car ring to employ his revolutionary proteges, stealing cars in Europe to sell in Africa.
Cleaver eventually fled Algeria out of fear for his life. He could no longer control his proteges and the Algerian police were cracking down on them. He subsequently lived underground for a time in France.
Cleaver experienced a Christian rebirth – became "born again" during his year of isolation while living underground.

El-Faqi, an ex-Imam and lawyer
Sudan: Ex-Imam starts 'jail churches'
El-Faqi, an ex-Imam and lawyer, was imprisoned in March 1998 following his conversion to Christianity. He is slowly becoming a problem for the Islamic government: many people have become Christians as a result of his testimony, and the government don't know what to do with him. The 'Christian Imam' has been transferred from one jail to another, but every time, the same thing happened: he told his fellow prisoners about Jesus, and has started 'jail churches' in all of the prisons he has been in, according to a recent report.

Like most people, I was a product of my childhood. My parents came to the United States from Nigeria. My dad, who was a Muslim, had a quiet strength. He was a strong, big man, who lived his faith, and had great integrity. He said something, and then followed through. I respected him, and wanted to be like him.
My views of Christianity came from my Dad, who said that Christians didn’t really live their faith. Those views always seemed to be played out by the Christians I knew. It seemed that Christianity was a religion that had no discipline. The professed Christians that I saw, even my mother, didn’t seem to have that same strength and discipline I saw in my dad.
...
While in Green Bay my rookie year, I started reading the Bible and it finally started connecting for me. Instead of finding the contradictions I thought I’d see, I realized that God is a God of discipline. Even though the Christians I knew weren’t perfect, I saw that One person in the Bible was, and that was Jesus Christ. I even saw Jesus in the Old Testament. I prayed, “God, I want to know who You are.”
Before I accepted Jesus, I had done things my own way all my life. I had all the money I needed and more. I had a car, a roof over my head and I was rubbing elbows with famous people. Even with all this, it lead to nothing but emptiness.
...
By God’s grace, I’ve had great success on the football field. I’ve set sack records for one of the most storied franchises in all of Sport – the Green Bay Packers, and I plan to do more in my football career as long as God allows me the opportunity. As much as I enjoy football and the success, I know that those things won’t last forever. There is one thing that will, however, and that’s my relationship with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This by far is my greatest victory.
