Egyptian Convert Endures Life on the Run

El-Gohary said his decision to follow Christ was final after he had a brilliant vision of light in his bedroom at his parents’ home, accompanied by the presence of “the peace of God.” El-Gohary said at first he thought he was seeing things, but then his father knocked on the door and demanded to know why the light was on. He told his father he was looking for something.

He was the first Muslim, but certainly not the last, to discover and embrace the truth…Overall there are still many conversions of Muslims from Islam to Holy Orthodoxy.

Whether you are Protestant, Roman Catholic, other Christian, or have no religious background, ASONA is widely known for its warm hospitality, thoughtful teaching, and welcoming community.
