My
name is Naim Khoury I was born and reared in the Old
City of Jerusalem, my grandfather was a Greek priest
and so were eleven of my uncles. I grew up in
a traditional Greek Orthodox home, where kids are taught
the original orthodox tradition. |
In 1968, I attended a meeting at a Bible Believing
church and that was the first time I heard about
the plan of salvation presented to me according to the
Bible. I became under the conviction of the Holy
Spirit, because I had never heard the Gospel before
so clear in my life. At the end of the service
the invitation was given, I walked down the isle and
asked Jesus to come into my heart. I was and still
am glad for what Christ did for me that day. |
For,
that day the presence of the Spirit gave me peace and
happiness. I am glad not for what I have done
but for what He has done for me on Calvary cross.
I knew it was not going to be easy once I got home,
my family noticed and saw changes in my life they saw
the happiness and the peace in me. |
Being
the youngest out of ten brothers and sisters I prayed
that God would give me the power and strength to share
my faith with my family. I could not hold that
happiness in for too long. I took that step of faith
and shared my testimony with my whole family. At first
my family didn’t accept me and tried to ignore
the peace that they saw. It was not too long till
the Lord touched their lives. |
To
God be the glory for the great things He has done, He
is alive forever more. His promise that He will
never leave us nor forsaken us is true, and He is watching
over us till we meet again. (Galatians 2:20) |
