Refugee Camp: Once Lost And Now Found; This Muslim Immigrant Led 600 Iranians To Jesus
"When I saw this unconditional love and the grace of God in my life I couldn't keep this Good News to myself," Shapoor said. Things were unknown for him and he was purposeless when he immigrated to the U.K. from Iran as a Muslim.
"When I was a Muslim I didn't believe God could talk to ordinary people and have any relationship or use ordinary people," Shapoor told a ministry leader with Pioneers. Eight years later, God was using Shapoor to build His Kingdom among the refugee population as the Breaking Christian News reported.
When Shapoor started reading the Scripture for the very first time, changes in his life began, and those changes became evident. "When I came to Christ and read the Bible I found out God has a heart for sinners and everybody," he says.
After Shapoor began to believe in Jesus, God filled him with a contagious flaming zeal to share the Gospel around him. Since he came from darkness to light, he could not keep this only to himself. He has to tell the gift he has received and share it freely to those who are in the darkness like once he was. It was like a feeling of one that won in a lottery.
He started sharing his faith in the refugee camp where immigrants comprise of people from Syria, Iraq, Iran and Africa and most of them are Muslim. He always comes to the camp every Saturday to give the refugees some foods and talk about Jesus.
Shapoor is one of the many who met Jesus in the crossroads of their lives and who is now experiencing the enthusiasm of sharing the Gospel to the lost ones. He could not keep it on his own. The genuine joy and zeal that he has are the normal response of a person who came to experience the power of Jesus in the blinded and dark path of his life. With God's help as he mentioned, he was able to lead over 600 Iranians to Jesus.
Shapoor posted an inspiring question from Isaiah 6, "Whom will I send?"
