Remnant Recap

• From Islam to Christ: Harun Ibrahim accepted Jesus after a stranger urged him to read the Gospel of John.

• Global Gospel impact: His ministry, Al Hayat, has reached millions and seen over 100,000 Muslims come to Christ.

• Revival growing: Ibrahim says technology is opening formerly closed Muslim nations and fueling a hunger for the Gospel.

Harun Ibrahim’s testimony is exactly the kind of bold, Christ-centered story the world needs right now. Born to Arab-Muslim parents, educated in a Jewish school, and married to a devout Christian woman, he set out to find truth. After a stranger challenged him to read the Gospel of John, he encountered the real Jesus and couldn’t walk away.

Today he leads Al Hayat Ministries, reaching millions across the Muslim world with the Gospel using media, satellite TV, and online tools. More than 100,000 Muslims have come to Christ through this work. Revival is breaking through barriers that once seemed impossible.

CBN News reports:

Harun Ibrahim was born in Israel to Arab-Muslim parents, studied in a Jewish school, and married a devout Christian woman.  After years of examining these religions, he was faced with a choice: Judaism, Christianity, or Islam.

Ibrahim ultimately made a decision to follow Christ, thanks to his praying wife and a timely encounter with a random man on the street.

Ibrahim recalled the conversation during an appearance on the 700 Club. The man told him, “‘Well, you are not going to be in the kingdom of God because Jesus said that no one will come to the Father except through [Him].'”

“And I really didn’t like that,” he recounted. “I said, ‘You are rude.'”

The man began to share the Gospel with the young Muslim and challenged him to actually read the Bible.

“He challenged me to read this Bible verse, and it was in the Gospel of John. And I read the Gospel of John seven times in a row. I just like really loved the person called Jesus. I couldn’t resist. I just had to accept him as my redeemer, as my Savior,” he shared.

Ibrahim began to burn with a desire to share the Gospel with Muslims and served many years as a missionary reaching Muslims in the Arab nations. He later started Al Hayat Ministries in 2003 to boldly preach the Gospel and challenge Islam. Since then, the ministry has seen more than 100,000 come to faith in Jesus Christ.

“Our vision extends to equipping believers who come from Muslim backgrounds with the necessary tools and knowledge to fulfill the Great Commission,” reads a statement on their website.

Ibrahim serves as the Director of Al Hayat Ministries, and recently told the Keeping It Real Israel podcast that they have reached millions of people with the Gospel in a short time.
