Zanzibar
Zanzibar is considered the pearl of East Africa. It is an island off the coast of Tanzania with 97% Muslim society. It was invaded and conquered by Muslims during the Ottoman Empire. Mosques are everywhere. There are around 58 Mosques just in Stone Town, Zanzibar. Tourists from around the world flock to Zanzibar. Amazingly, even the Jewish community is found in Zanzibar. The WMO team was there to conduct a Muslim outreach with the local churches. We thank God for those saved. Today the local church is doing the follow up and discipleship. To our blessed surprise, we met Omer, a Hungarian Jew residing in Zanzibar, owner of a hotel and restaurant. After we met, Omer was touched by the love of God in the Gospel of Jesus, the Messiah. God opened his heart to understand Jeremiah 31:31 that God had given Israel a New Covenant by which Israel can be saved. The Holy Spirit opened the heart of Omer to see that The Son of God, Messiah Jesus fulfilled this New Covenant in His blood. Omer was convicted of his sins, and accepted Messiah Jesus as Lord God and Savior. He is getting follow up and discipled today in Zanzibar. God used Omer to speak to WMO to prepare the next Tanzania Jewish outreach in Zanzibar, a Muslim town. Who could imagine? No one? But God is all wise. Truly we see the power of the Gospel of Jesus is the only power that saves the human race. Thank you for your continued prayer and support to WMO to bring to the world the only Hope, the Gospel of Jesus.
