A young Muslim in North Africa whose family raised him to become a mosque leader had memorized extensive koranic texts, but reading the Bible online led him to Christ. His desire to serve those in his country led him to study theology at a Middle Eastern seminary that offers courses on site or online. Today he leads his church youth group and worship team and shares the gospel widely. Former Muslims make up 41 percent of the seminary’s students, and such seminaries in the Middle East need donations to train leaders for work throughout the world. Pray students will find and excel in their callings.
