Anger boiled up inside
Asad* as another man tried to pull into the parking space he wanted. He reacted
by physically attacking the man and soon found himself under arrest.
Asad’s jail sentence
required him to obtain the consent of his accuser in order to be released. So,
he contacted the other man and asked for forgiveness. In response to Asad’s
request, the man came to see him, and to Asad’s surprise the man told him, “I
forgive you because my Lord has forgiven me.”
“Who is your Lord?” asked Asad.
“Go and watch this
DVD, and you will find out everything,” the man said as he handed Asad a DVD of
the “JESUS” film.
Curious and
questioning, Asad watched the film. During the crucifixion scene, he heard
Jesus say, “Father, forgive them for they do not know what they are doing.”
This declaration stirred his heart, and he recognized that Jesus Christ was the
Lord of the man he attacked.
Asad prayed the prayer
at the end of the film, receiving Christ, and from that moment his life
completely changed. He joined a house church and began growing in his new
faith.
Because Christianity
is illegal in his home country, Asad attended a Home Church Leader conference
in a neighboring country where he received training in church ministry and in
the use of JESUS Film® tools.
Today he uses “JESUS”
for evangelism. Asad has dedicated his tithes to buying DVD duplication
equipment in order to supply copies of “JESUS” so more people can be reached
with the gospel just like he was.
JESUS Film DVDs are
effective tools to reach people with the gospel in their heart language, and
it's the prayers and support from people like you that help make stories like
Asad's possible. Thank you!
