A muslim  man who grew up in Egypt met Jesus and has started a ministry for persecuted Christians and non-believers who needed help.

Muslim Man

The founder of One Free World International, Rev. Majed El Shafie, shares his story of redemption on GOD TV Together daily show. He shared that the majority of his family worked in the legal field. That’s why he went to law school to follow in his family’s footsteps. While studying in Alexandria, he witnessed the persecution that Christians experienced. “You do not persecute somebody unless you are scared from the truth that they carry,” he said.

He watched the church be attacked every Christmas and Easter, and as a young Muslim man, he wondered why there was persecution. He visited a Christian friend, Tamar, and asked why Christians are being persecuted worldwide. That’s when his friend handed him a book that would change his life forever.

“This book was not only about laws and regulation. It was also about love and, forgiveness, and sacrifice. We call it the Holy Bible,” he recalled. When he first opened God’s Word, he read a story in John 8 about a woman who committed adultery. He noticed how Jesus accepted and forgave the woman, and it deeply impacted him. It was the first time that he encountered Jesus.

Fighting For The Persecuted Christians

Since then, Rev. Majed has dedicated his life to follow Jesus. With his bold faith in Jesus, he created an underground ministry in Egypt and started to write a book about the difference between Islam and Christianity. Because of that, He was arrested and experienced persecution. His sufferings caused his heart to burn for other Christians who were also persecuted. That’s why he created the One Free World International Ministry.

“I’m one of the people that dream one day to wake up and see there is no need to my ministry anymore,” he shared. There is one persecuted Christian every three minutes worldwide. Their ministry was created to help not just Christians but also non-believers in difficult situations. “The love of Christ is not only for the people that follow Him. It’s for the whole world,” he said.

Persecuted Christian who started an underground ministry in Egypt testified about the miracles that Jesus did while he was in prison.

Persecuted Christian

Rev. Majed El Shafie, the founder and president of One Free World International, shared his testimony about how Jesus miraculously saved his life while in prison. He shared on the GOD TV Together show that he was arrested in Egypt on August of 1998, because of his faith. “I was tortured very severely. They put me underground, and I was there for seven days. And every day is a higher level of torture,” he recalled. On Day 1, the officers in the prison cell tied his hands and shaved his head. They would keep his head in two containers of water; one is hot, and the other is cold.

On Day 2, the officers hung him upside down. “They burn me with cigarettes. They beat me with everything in their hands. The only real thing that I remember in day number two was the taste and the smell of my own blood,” he shared. The officers wanted to know the names of his friends, but Rev. Majed courageously said no. During those painful moments, he believed Jesus gave him the strength to endure. And then, something miraculous happened on the third day of his suffering.

Jesus’ Protection

The officer came to him and said they would release three dogs trained to attack human flesh. The officer opened the door of his prison cell, and Rev. Majed sat down at the corner and covered himself. “The three dogs came, and all three dogs sit around me. None of them moved,” he testified. The officer even took his belt and beat the dogs to attack him, but nothing happened. “These dogs been trained to listen to their Master, but there is no higher master than Jesus Christ,” he added.

The soldier brought another set of dogs, but then they just sat, and one of them moved forward and licked his face. “Talking about my strength, I was alone in this room, but I was not lonely,” he said. Rev. Majed knew that Jesus protected him. He felt our Savior’s presence even during suffering.

“He [the officer] can always hurt my body, but he cannot touch my soul,” he testified.
