CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Strange, YouTube age-restricted that video. Usually they do not age restrict videos of a purely religious character.

I watched this and it brought tears to my eyes. I am not a Hezbollah fighter, but I have had a very similar experience that brought me to Christ. I had persecuted Christians when I was young. Even my parents. I have also been involved with a terrible atrocity where I helped hang a person. I was an awful person and I often look back with tears. But one day, when I was a young man, I did something that pushed the limits too far, and from this, I died. Or at least I thought I died, and God showed me a vision while I was dead. What I saw was my own judgement day. I had to answer for everything I did. And then, at the end of all this, I crawled in before a man. I did not look at Him, but I knew that He was all-powerful, all-knowing and wise, but He was also just. This man spoke to me in a soft voice for a short time. I cannot remember what He said, but the next moment, I was alive.
This is one of the reasons I go out and share the Gospel. I know the fear I had when facing God and I do not want others to face that. I was terrified beyond expression.
God gave His son in our place. So, we need to tell others of this great sacrifice.

You have a precious revelation that is rather rare...
I had a face to face with Jesus at about 8 years of age yet my life was shipwrecked after that.
His great love gave me a second chance, so I am deeply conscious of His great grace.
The Fear of Him is now a friend that keeps us from ever falling away again and gives us a rare focus on being committed to His way for us.

He has several Youtube video's well worth checking out.
His primary focus now is building a community of believers around him to support the task of reaching Jews and Arabs for Jesus.

I like the fact that he hasn't been drawn into the celebrity culture but is working out his salvation with fear and trembling - he shall see fruit.

Greetings Carl,
Thank you for bringing this wonderful story to our attention! We had heard of many similar cases among Syrian, Turkish and Iraqi converts over the past decade but this one particular stands out. This is one of the bases we have been using to focus so many of our missionary efforts in Europe including with our North American-origin missions there, the conversions of such individuals are one of our most significant achievements as they are often among the most fervent in spreading the faith further. Not only with new or restored European churches, but also in bringing the Gospel to their brethren back in their own homelands in North Africa and the Middle East. This has been one of most effective vehicles for successful evangelism efforts.

Interesting that like Torben Sondergard , such high profile believers attract character assassination - great testimony and dig a little on google and claims of some sort of impropriety are inevitable...
