Ex-Muslims Convert to Christianity

Ex-Muslims in Hot Seat for Calling Islam a Violent Faith http://www.sltrib.com/2002/jul/07072002/nation_w/751571.htm
When the Caner boys came into the world, their Turkish-born father, Acar, the man who called the faithful to prayer at the mosque, whispered in their ears the words they were to live by: "There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is the prophet of Allah." But they were living in Columbus, Ohio, far from Acar's Sunni Muslim origins. After their parents separated, others were soon whispering in the Caner boys' ears. Ergun Caner, the oldest of Acar's three boys, was the first to convert. He was 15 when he accepted a friend's invitation to a weeklong church revival. To him, his relationship with Allah was impersonal, ritualistic. The message he got at Stelzer Baptist Church was something completely different. "Christ died for man. That was one thing for me to hear. It was quite another thing for me to hear that Christ died for me. Ha. Then it becomes personal," says Ergun, now 35. "I thought this was good news for all Muslims." Instead of welcoming the news, Acar Caner told his son he no longer wanted to see him. When younger brothers Emir and Erdem (who now goes by Mark) went for visitation with their father, there was no talk of Ergun; their elder brother's face had been cut from family photographs. Despite that, the two younger brothers soon followed Ergun's path, with the same results.


This reminds me so much of Joel 2:28-32 / Acts 2:17-21
We have so many people converting from other religions to Christianity, because of God's outpouring of his holy spirit. Not to mention, look at how many women are preaching now.
Praise the Lord God Almighty in the name of Jesus Christ!!!!!!!!!!!!
