Imam Confesses Christ at Wholism Conference in Sudan

Share This Post

Chris Ampadu, West Africa Coordinator for SSA

Chris Ampadu, who works with Samaritan Strategy Africa, a Disciple Nations Alliance affiliate, recently spoke to pastors in Sudan at a conference facilitated by the Humanitarian International Services Group. Chris presented DNA messages on the importance of a biblical worldview for transformation and the role of churches in ministering to the needs of the larger community, including the Muslim minority.

Chris describes a thrilling moment in the closing ceremony:

The highlight of the celebration was when a mosque preacher, an Imam, who we did not know was a participant, walked forward and said, “Having listened to the wholistic message of loving one’s neighbor as oneself, including loving your enemies, and the rest of the transformational messages, I hereby openly declare my departure from the Islamic faith and identify myself with the family of Jesus Christ.

Humanitarian International Services Group (or HISG) is a non-governmental organization that provides support services to US and international for-profit and non-profit organizations for crisis response and humanitarian developmental initiatives. HISG has adapted DNA messages and content for their training programs. Chris has faciltiated DNA content in several HISG training events in Africa and Eastern Europe.

The Imago Dei

What is your purpose as a Christian? To glorify God? To become Christlike and shine His light? Yes, but how… where does God most clearly lay out His purpose for humanity? In Genesis. This is when God created the world overflowing with beauty and potential, placed humans in it, and presented His first commision for us. Together we will unpack what it means to be made imago Dei, in the image of God. Understanding this concept is critical, and there are consequences if we do not. Learn how an understanding of imago Dei can change individuals, businesses, communities, and nations so that they flourish in the mission God’s given them.

Beauty is in the Eye of the Beholder with Brian Chan

Truth, goodness, and beauty are the hallmarks of the Kingdom of God, but sadly we often overlook the “beauty.” We all see a crystal clear river and say it is beautiful. We see another stagnate with debris and trash and say it is polluted and ugly. Why do we share this universal understanding of beauty? Where does this shared understanding come from? There is an intrinsic answer here that points straight back to our Creator. Today we are joined by artist, entrepreneur, professor, author, speaker, and pastor Brian S. Chan. Brian wrote his thesis on the beauty of God and art in worship and has never looked back as he continues to share and deepen his understanding of beauty and the Kingdom. During our discussion, we asked is beauty objective, where does it come from, why do humans pursue ugliness, when did the church have a vision for beauty, and what does a theology of beauty look like? Last, we get practical and ask how can each of us apply this concept into our daily lives.
