It is to create a parallel curriculum to the English Curriculum in MMWU. I am responsible for 60 students regarding their educational mentoring and spiritual growth. I ensure that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is exemplified in the performance of all job responsibilities and through personal example in the Salvation Army Church. I conduct initial intake assessments (including evaluating guest protection issues), determining immediate needs and supports. I provide spiritual guidance and use every opportunity to pray and share the Gospel with guests, enabling them to become part of the Body of Christ.
I used to be a strict Salafi Muslim who preached, taught, and delivered programs on a well-known Islamic Channel. I succeeded in converting some Westerners to Islam. Christians were my next target, so I started studying Christianity and was amazed! I accepted Jesus and then started comparative studies between Islam and Christianity for three years. After that, I became a legalistic Christian and then spent eight years struggling with other worldviews. Eventually, I read many books by great Christian authors like C.S. Lewis, William Lane Craig, OS Guinness, John Lennox, and Dallas Willard, and I went back to authentic Christianity, to the point where my wife and I were about to be killed in Egypt because of our ministry. So we moved to Stockholm, Sweden.
This is a fantastic place to network with different ministries. I want to be used in the ministry of teaching how to know Islam and defend our Christian faith. I want to be up to date with all the excelling ministries in your Europe. I wish to speak one day at ELF to share my story and mobilise the crowd with the "Every Muslim to Christ" initiative.
I was a MuslimTV Evangelist (Da'aia) on the Islamic TV channel, Huda TV. I was a Mosque prayer leader. I was an assistant Pastor at Rinkeby International Church in Sweden and a chaplain at a Salvation Army Shelter in 2016. Today, I am a Chaplain in Sweden's Salvation Army Day Care Center and Director of the Arabic Program at the Online Mission Muslims World University.
I would like to see the Forum taking Islamic Issues and Evangelism to Muslims seriously—especially the work of Muslims among Christians and how they trick them into converting to Islam.
