From Muslim to Christian

Per usual after dinner each night we have a Bible study with the children sometimes I lead, or Jim and on occasion one of the children lead. But last night was special to me because Matthew wanted to lead.

Let me give you a brief background on Matthew. (Please see the attached word doc for his testimony) Matty, as we call him, used to be Mohammad a.k.a Maddy. When he came to The Door of Hope Families back in March it was a very different experience for him, as he had lived on the street for the last 10 years. As a street boy he experienced no food, shelter, fighting, steeling, and drugs. But Matty is a natural leader and when Aunt Fatumah told him about Jesus and he became a moloaka (born again Christian) he naturally told all the street boys that would listen about Jesus. He became the head of the moloaka street boys! It was such a different life from what he had lead with his uncle as a Muslim. He knows he has a savior now! Living in a Christian environment at the Door of Hope Matty has “blossomed” into an amazing prayer leader. He has also committed himself fully to strengthen his walk as a born again and changed his name from Mohammad to Matthew. It is amazing to see the change in him and He loves the Lord so much now! I love how God works when we allow Him to work in our lives!
