“We need a martyr to wake up the church.” “I am willing to be that martyr.” These were the words and life-story from Wagdi Iskander at Regina’s city-wide event. Respected among the Muslim Brotherhood (links to Al-Qaida), Wagdi was selected to assassinate a fellow student presenting Christ to him. Mistakenly, he beat the wrong man, but left him paralyzed for life. A series of alarming events left Wagdi in a state to listen and talk about Christ. From Allah to Christ, he was imprisoned in the heart of Sudan, and after 7 months of vile daily abuse he was placed on death row. Watching believing cell mates hanged, he knew he was next…
Today Wagdi brings the crucial message of sharing our faith with boldness and meekness to the Muslim masses next door. He bears the scars and the pays the price to awaken the church. Not only as a pastor to Muslim Background Believers around the world, but also as a voice to the Western Church to awaken her to the real and impending problem/opportunity. Canada has over 1 million Muslims, time is now to pray and make new friends. At an ’08 Muslim conference in Halifax, Jamal Badawi cast a vision for the conversion of 50 youth, 30 families and 20 clergymen to Islam each year. Will your faith stand?
