Khalid Mansoor Soomro's Testimony
And he said unto then, “Go ye into the world, And preach the gospel to every Creature.” Mark 16:15 New Testament
When I was 14 years old I was studying in a convent school at Saddar Karachi Pakistan. I belong to a Sindhi Muslim Soomro Family. My Father Mansoor Ahmed Soomro works in Finance Department of Pakistan International Airline and my Mother Roshen Aara Soomro is Director of Education Government of Sindh.
My Family is of a hard Islamic background. I was forced to learn the Quran by heart at the age of seven and I did so when I was studying at a convent School. I had a lot of Christians friends at school. I was surprised to see them studying while I always found Christians of low profile in the society. Mostly I discussed and argued with them about the accuracy of the Quran and rejection of Bible by Allah in the Holy Quran and I always forced them to accept Islam. Often my Christian teachers told me not to do so.
God may choose you as he choose Apostle Pollous. I asked them who is Pollous, I know of only Muhammad. One day during discussion I asked them to burn the Holy Books of each other. They should burn the Quran and I should set the Bible on fire. Which book was burnt was false and which was not burnt was to be true because God saved its word. They were not ready to do this because they were frightened living is an Islamic Country Pakistan and doing such thing could lead them to face law and meet its consequences. I told them, then, that I could do this by myself. I set the Quran on fire first and it got burnt before our eyes. Then I tried to set fire to the Bible as soon as I tried the Bible struck to my chest and I fell on the ground. There was smoke all around my body I was burning, a Spiritual fire.
Suddenly I saw a man with golden hair, wrapped in light at my side. He placed his hand on my Head and said to me "You are my Son and from now on you will preach the Gospel in your nation. Go! Your Lord is with you." Then I saw the stone on the grave was removed and Marium Magdni said to the gardener who took the body of my Lord. The gardener was Jesus Himself he kissed the hand of Marium and I got up.
I was feeling my body so strong, if someone would strike me...I could not be hurt. I went home at that time and I told my parents about all what happened but they did not believe. They thought Christians had got me under magic. I told them that all this happened before my eyes and many people were watching this. They still did not believe and they turned me out of my home and refused to accept me as their family member. I went to a Church near my home, I told Father there about all that happened I asked him to show me the Bible.
He gave me one Bible and I read about that incident of Marium Magdni and I accepted Jesus Christ as my Savior in 17-02-1985. My Family refused to accept me. I went to various churches and got knowledge about the Word of God. I also did many Bible Courses and then began the ministry to the Gentiles.
Now 17 years have passed I am sound and strong in my faith and I’m still preaching the Gospel to the majority of the people here in the Islamic Republic in Pakistan. Thanks be to Lord!
Many People have come to Lord and accepted Jesus as their Savior. I have a long testimony. God has done much work and miracles in my Life. Thanks be to the Lord now I am married in a Christian Family and my wife Khalida also helps me in my Kalimatullah Evangelism Ministry.
I am doing evangelising work in Pakistan I have witnessed to God's presence through his great work and miracles in my life as per my calling. My wife Khalida helps me in my office work we are working in Four Fields. We evangelize among only Muslim People.
I and Khalida go on the streets and door to door for preaching for the Gospel to the people we also distribute Literature. We also a Bible Correspondence School we distribute Business Reply Card of Bible Correspondence School and fliers during our door to door and Street Evangelism work. We also arrange Kalimatullah Study Fellowship meeting for People.
We give Bible Teaching as well as Comparative Study. Comparative Study through Internet and Email Many People have come to the Lord during these last days and work is going on.
Pakistan is an Islamic Country and it is very difficult to work in circumstances where Islamic Law denies we have freedom to share Gospel with people (we can do this with mature and educated people only whiled the immature, uneducated people think that even sharing is an aggression against their faith).
We cannot teach people freely on co-operative topics. We can not utter even single work against and criticise Islam even before educated people. If we do so we are liable to death or prison on other side a Muslim cannot change his faith and religion if he does so he is liable to, death.
Only we face certain difficulties and hardships but during these hard times the personality of Paul whom God selected from among the nation to serve the Lord. Just as he suffers and Lord Jesus himself and his great work and his pain on cross, focus always remains Before us. Thanks and Praise Lord and Holy Sprit who gives us courage and wisdom to pass through these hard times.
