Have you heard the expression Boots on the Ground? Well our Live Dead Missionarieare the boots on the Silk Road. Here we’d like to take a moment and allow one of them to share snapshot of their life with you. Some names and details have been changed, but this is a true story from this colorful, vibrant, and sometimes surprising region.

 We live in a country with a population that is 98% Muslim. We work together with the small community of local believers to reach out to their nation. We have a small church that meets in a storefront above a cafe.

One day while my husband and I were cleaning at our church, there was a knock on the door. I answered it and was surprised to see a sweet woman I had met once through a friend.

She had come with shaking hands and lots of questions. We sat down and she began to ask her questions. She had grown up under a strict Muslim father but had never felt comfortable with her religion. Her family traveled a lot when she was young and often visited old churches while on vacation. She said she always felt so much peace in the churches and felt somehow connected. Since becoming an adult she rejected Islam and was about to lose faith in God altogether, but then met me and decided to find out more.

We explained the gospel, how much God loves her and that she is His child. She loved this because
Islam is filled with fear and rules. Right there that day, she accepted Jesus as her Savior. Since then I have met with her every week and have taught her how to read, study and pray. She has become a
good friend and sister, and has blessed my life in many ways.
 Some want to live within the sound of church or chapel bell; I want to run a rescue shop
within a yard of hell. – CT Studd
