Hell's Best Kept Secret

When leaving the airport in Sudan, I saw two younger guys who were wearing shirts from American universities. I assumed that they were both Muslims so I took a seat beside them to engage them in conversation, hoping to share the gospel with them. Turns out that one of them actually grew up at the evangelical church where our kids attended a children's ministry years ago! He and I connected online yesterday and had a wonderful conversation. He told me that he listens to Christian teaching online so I asked who he listens to most and he said, "Ray Comfort", famously known for street evangelism and a sermon called "Hell's Best Kept Secret". He said that most of his friends are Muslims and he is learning how to respond to their objections to the Bible. Would you pray for this brother, that his apologetics would lead to his Muslim friends having a more thorough understanding of the gospel? I'm looking forward to meeting his parents when I return to Khartoum. Would you also ask God to give me opportunities to befriend more younger, teachable brothers in the Middle East?
