He grew up in a Muslim home. Life was happening. It was hard. Several years ago he was looking at a Bible and reading some things in Romans. One night he heard a voice. "I want you to become a Christian and I will convert your family." He woke up his brother to ask him what he had said. His brother told him he didn't say anything. Goodluck (not his name at the time) went back to sleep.
The voice came again. He knew it God. He gave his life to Christ and changed his name.
So what happened with his family? He told his father about his conversion and was promptly beaten. But Goodluck pressed on with the promises of God. Eventually a brother and sister came to Christ. And then his father. Now they are praying for their mother. They BELIEVE it is only a matter of time before she will know the Lord as well.
Is life now easier for Goodluck? Not really. Life in Malawi is fragile and difficult. But he has a joy and eternal hope that was absent before. He also now has a Chichewa Bible thanks to the Walk to the Manger gift.
This means he can read God's word every day, at least on those days when God is not speaking to him at night!
