Walid is my friend from Syria. We met through a mutual friend on facebook a while back. He was disillusioned with Islam and searching for something better, and began to ask me about Christianity. A year or so ago, Walid courageously gave his life to Christ (apostasy from Islam is a capital crime), and though I tried to get him connected with a local church and offered to send him an Arabic Bible, he was very concerned with security and the best I was able to do at the time was get him an electronic version of the Scriptures in Arabic.
Despite the danger, however, it wasn't long before Walid had a growing group of new believers around him...the Gospel has its own power. I've been praying for him and for them ever since, and was very touched and gratified today to see him in this photo: at church for Good Friday! Praise be to God!
