“Mukhtar earned a spot at a prestigious school for Islamic apologists, where he studied Bible passages used to support Islamic beliefs. His curiosity led him to secretly buy a Bible, and as he read it, the truth of God’s Word changed his heart. He chose to follow Christ, giving up his academic future, family support, and financial security.

Rejected by his family, Mukhtar sought refuge in a church, where he humbly served as a door guard. Despite the sacrifices, he found joy and purpose in his new faith, rooted in God’s Word.”
