woopsie

Just wanted to retract a thing or two from last night's post.
First of all Qur'an is the correct spelling. (most of y'all know I am a TERRIBLE speller) It sounds like "Coron."
Second, as a read more in the book I found out that when the Muslims are converted, they do not get rid of the Qur'an. They keep them to testify to their families. They no longer "believe" the Qur'an, but turn around to use it as a tool to reach the lost. I find that amazing. They are likely to be prosecuted, beaten by their own families for choosing Christ. Still they go out and share the gospel. I dont think i am that strong, YET!!
The thing that is so cool is that we (the missionaries) are not the ones reaching these people. we are starting the fire, but it is the natives doing most of the work, reaching their peers. We are just the firestarters!

Here is a little excerpt from the book
- One brother who had been beaten repeatedly declared "They can cut my body into a thousand pieces and each piece will cry out ' Jesus Christ is Lord!'"
