A Word From Vernon

Hey everyone! I just got an email from Vernon. He had great things to say about his time with Imam Muhammad. Thanks to everyone who prayed...Please keep praying for his salvation. This could change the course of Islam in Uganda. Here is a little blip of the email Vernon sent me about his conversation with Imam Muhammad.


"the meeting with Muhammad went incredible! we talked for over 2 hours. i am suppossed to go to the mosque he is an imam at next friday. he told me that his biggest problem was saying that God has a Son. I explained the Trinity to him, and he understood more about what Christians mean.
I told him that I did not believe Islam had an answer for redemption. I explained that if something is not pure it takes something outside of itself in order to make it pure. Therefore, it would be impossible for "good works" to save someone and since we are all tainted the only thing that could happen would be for our "tainted good works" to add to the problem. What this means is, since it is impossible to even have 1,000,000 good works cancel out 1 bad work, then really what is happening is that what seems to be good (in helping someone to escape hell) is really only compounding the problem, and thus the condemnation is even more, not less, unless Perfection comes to purify.
I am not sure is all this makes sense since i am typing really quick, but it made sense to him. He said that he had not thought about this much. He also said that we should both pray in order to find out the correct way to God. He said that if Christianity is correct, he would become a Christian. Please have people pray for Muhammad. "

Please pray for Imam Muhammad, this is a big thing for him to realize.
Vernon will be heading on into Sudan for the remainder of his time starting tomorrow, pray for his save flight into the country.
