Pastor Anwar Hossain

Dear in Christ,

I am Pastor Anwar Hossain. Since I become Christian at 1978. I was born in Muslim family. When I was a high school student I met one evangelical youth team who was selling Bible, New Testament and other books. One book entitled in Bengali; “The One that gave His life” attracted me because the colorful cover. I bought one copy and went back home and read it. A few days later I started thinking about what I read. In our area there are many Christian but their lives and Jesus life about whom I read, were not the same. Why? That was my question. Then I contacted Bible correspondence school in Dhaka and I completed a course. I got a New Testament. I read it and compared it with the Quran where I did not find any assurance about salvation. This assurance I found in John 14:6 and Acts 4:12. I understood that Jesus was my salvation. I surrendered myself to Jesus Christ and prayed, “Please come to my heart.”

After my conversion to Christianity I joined Operation of Mobilization team. The team leader asked me if I knew why God called me. Did you pray about your call? At that time I was thinking about my father, mother and other relatives who were Muslims, about how I could give them the Gospel. I prayed about it and I got finally an answer to announce the Gospel to Muslims. I started Muslim evangelism. Now thirty two years later I still think it is my call.

Thanks In Jesus,

Pastor Anwar Hossain
