We gladly welcome you to our worship experience here at FEA. May God minister unto you in a very special way today.

We have all seen video clips of Muslim refugees fleeing from war-torn Syria and flooding into an unprepared and overwhelmed Europe. We’ve heard accounts of some of these refugees committing ugly crimes and others demanding that the post-Christian societies that welcome them conform to the harsh demands of Islamic law. We’ve even read the stories about Islamist terror groups such as ISIS infiltrating the refugee populations in order to wreak further havoc on the West.

However, many do not know the rest of the story. It a story of God building His kingdom in the midst of chaos, doubt and uncertainty. It’s a story of Muslims meeting Jesus. Take for example, the story of Javad, a Muslim from Iran. He didn’t know any Christians and didn’t own a Bible, though he had heard some Christian satellite radio. Then he migrated to Athens, and a roommate asked him to come to an Iranian church. Javad had never heard of such a thing; so being curious, he went. There, in a small, unremarkable rented room, he heard the gospel and gladly received Christ.

Because many refugees remain on the move, an informal network of new churches for Muslim converts has begun spreading in Britain, the Netherlands, Germany and elsewhere. One church in Berlin has counted 1,200 Muslims converted in just three years. At a Persian church in Hamburg, meanwhile, more than 600 Pakistanis and Afghans lined up to be baptized during a service. According to a report in The Daily Beast, thousands, maybe tens of thousands of Muslims have become followers of Jesus across Northern Europe.

One young woman from Iran told the German magazine, Stern, “I’ve been looking all my life for peace and happiness, but in Islam, I have not found them.” Another convert said the love of Christ made all the difference. “In Islam, we always lived in fear,” he said. “Fear of God, fear of sin, fear of punishment. But Christ is a God of love.”

So while the wars and upheavals in the Middle East and Asia have sparked a crisis of epic proportions, God continues His quiet work of saving sinners and transforming lives. As Joseph in the Old Testament said, what man meant for evil, God meant for good. Let us give God thanks this Thanksgiving for what He is doing in lives of refugees. Amen!

Have a happy Thanksgiving Day!
