Today I was able to participate in more of the mission activities, despite Moriah having an "American" night. (We joke that when Moriah is up all night it is because she is running on American time.) It was good to be a part of things again and meet with pastors and the other workers.
Rob had his class today and was able to have another important conversation with Ebodi, his Iranian Muslim friend. Every day Rob types the notes for his class and he helps her by sharing them with her. Today she asked Rob about how Christians could believe in the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Rob explained how Jesus was completely human and completely God. He was able to talk about the relationship between the Old and New Testament. Rob was able to share using Muslim settings and language. He used Muslim analogies to share that Jesus being God is essential to Christianity. Also during this discussion another student came and asked Rob to forge a document for him. Rob refused and said it was against his beliefs, so this was a witness for her as well. Keep praying for this relationship and that God would continue to be revealed through their studies and discussions. God is clearly answering our prayers about this relationship because she is initiating the discussion and God is providing the answers.
