And so what our friend is doing, it's kind of a parable or a metaphor, basically, of Muhammad and Jesus. Are you going to get in the taxi driven to paradise, driven by Muhammad, who said when people asked him, what will Allah do with us? He is known to have responded by saying, I don't know what Allah or Allah will do with you. I don't even know what he'll do with me. Wow.

Can you imagine following someone who says that? But then the other taxi driver, of course, represents Jesus who says, absolutely, I know the address of heaven. I can get you there. I'm going there. I'm going to prepare a place for you that where I am, you will be. And so he's sharing this with this guy on this trip. And then this guy's listening.

And then I share with him, I go outside his door and he's sitting right inside it. And I knock on the door and I said, we'll just call this guy Mustafa, not his real name. I say, Mustafa, this is what Jesus says in the Bible to you. He says, listen, I'm knocking on the door of your heart. So I knock on his literal door. I'm knocking on the door of your heart.

If you open the door, I'll come in and I'll eat with you. Now, every Middle Eastern person knows that eating with you in this context means friendship. It means commitment to one another. And so he said on this day, now listen, this is important to hear, Brandon. These Christian men have been reaching out to Mustafa for 10 years with practical help and the gospel.

But on this day, Mustafa said, my door is open. After I shared Revelation 320 with him. And so this day, and I looked over at our friend from this Christian NGO that's been witnessing to him. And on the way home, he said, Mark, Timothy Mark, he said, this was his day. He said, I just know it. I sense it. I just sensed this was the day he said yes to Jesus and opened his door.

Yeah. And I know, Brandon, you and I both believe that theology is important and context of a scripture. And so I know that those verses are written to a church. Nevertheless, I think that the verse about Jesus knocking on the door of a heart, the application can still be used, I believe, for unbelievers as it relates to evangelism. And

Okay, brother. Well, so one of the great things that this organization is doing is they're not just about community development and physical assistance or even seeing Muslims embrace Jesus as Savior. They are also very much about discipleship. So, for example, I was blessed to go. One of the leaders asked me, he said, can you do an overview of the book of numbers on Thursday?

The night before, I jumped on the Internet on my phone and I looked up the Bible Project, you know, and I looked up their overview of numbers and it was excellent. And and they also have it in Arabic. So, yeah.
