My burden is for souls to come to Christ.
I frequently pray, "Lord give me souls" and then one day at an altar of prayer the Lord spoke to my heart, "Pray, Lord give me soulwinners." That has changed my focus.
It is the will of God for sinners to be saved. Jesus already paid a great price for their salvation. He is the sacrificial Lamb who should receive the reward of his sufferings. Will you help to go get them for Jesus?
Evidently the power of the Holy Spirit is working miraculously to draw the unsaved to Christ.

The idea of more than 200,000 former Muslims coming to faith in
Sub-Saharan Africa within a few short years is mind-boggling. But entire
mosques in Sub-Saharan Africa coming to faith?
That news is even harder to wrap one’s mind around, but it is in fact what is happening according to reports from a former church planter among Muslims in West Africa.
That news is even harder to wrap one’s mind around, but it is in fact what is happening according to reports from a former church planter among Muslims in West Africa.
In the new book Miraculous Movements, Jerry Trousdale, now
director of International Ministries for CityTeam International, records
amazing and inspiring stories of faith among Muslim communities in Africa. The
author opens up a new world to Western readers, taking them into the heart of
the “miraculous movement” of God in Africa that is transforming the hearts of
Muslims.
Trousdale writes that “unprecedented” events are happening among
the Muslim populations that his ministry and its affiliates are working among,
including:
• Thousands of ordinary men and women being used by God to achieve seemingly impossible outcomes
• Tens of thousands of Muslim background Christians becoming dedicated intercessors who fast and pray for the gospel to penetrate the next community
• Muslim people groups that never had even one church among them now have more than fifty church planted, and in some cases more than one hundred churches – within two years of engagement
• Former sheikhs, imams and militant Islamists making up 20 percent or more of the new Christian leaders in Muslim regions
“We had seven years now in Africa. And of the people in Africa,
81 different people groups that have at least 50 percent Muslim have now
significant movements among them.
Of those 81, 45 are people groups with 99 or 100 percent
Muslim,” said Trousdale in an interview with CP.
“So we are talking about fairly extreme areas of Islamic
influence. These are people who have been Islamic for well over a hundred
years, some hundreds of years.”
