Ep. 85 - From Mecca to Christ (ft. Ahmed Joktan)

In this episode Ahmed shares the mind-blowing story of how he came to Christ from a very strict Muslim family background. He learnt the Quran by heart as a child, his father was a Mufti (a religious scholar) in Mecca, the birthplace of Islam. His tribe in Saudi Arabia is one of the most radical in their commitment to Islam and hatred of infidels, with several of them involved in the 9/11 attacks.But the prayers of some believers in New Zealand led to Ahmed having an amazing dream of Jesus, which changed everything. Years of rejection, ostricism and persecution followed his decision to follow Jesus, even bringing assassination attempts to prevent him attending church and sharing the good news. And yet he has persevered, refusing to give up on his Saviour and Lord.He now runs an online ministry into the Middle East, leading many Muslims to Christ and discipling countless others.Enjoy this incredible story, like a modern day version of the book of Acts! And do check out Ahmed's books and his website via these links.Send us a message!Support the show_________________________________________________________________________________Do get in touch if you have any questions for Matt or for any of his [email protected] can find out more about us by visiting www.frontiers.org.ukOr, if you're outside the UK, visit www.frontiers.org (then select from one of our national offices).
