One Muslim was reading his Koran. According to him, he understood what he was reading to mean that there was still one to come. Since the Koran referenced the Bible, he bought a Bible and began to read. When he read the Gospel of John, he was surprised to read that Jesus is the Way. He sought out one of our pastors for an explanation. He was convinced that Jesus is the one the Koran said was to come. He was baptized in Jesus' name and received the baptism of the Holy Spirit. He then enrolled in the Bible school.
