(ETH) – If you met Kami* two months ago, he would’ve introduced himself as a Muslim who practices witchcraft, but that was two months ago. Everything has changed now. He’s a completely different person. Kami’s transformation didn’t happen overnight though, his story was two years in the making.

Kami was on his way to visit his son, who was recovering from a motorcycle accident in the hospital when they first met. He asked James to pray for his son, which he did, and then something compelled Kami to invite James to his home.
“Absolutely, I would love to come to visit you,” James replied, and less than 24 hours later, there he was, walking up the dirt road to Kami’s house. They sat down on the porch to talk, and that’s when James asked a question Kami had never been asked before. “Do you know if your sins will be forgiven when you die?”
“Only God knows,” Kami answered. James disagreed. He told him about God’s substitutionary sacrifice for the sins of all mankind and the hope that all who believe in Him will be saved. And then he asked again, “do you know if your sins will be forgiven?” “I don’t know, and I don’t want to know,” Kami answered, and while James was hoping for a different response, he did not lose hope that God would transform Kami’s heart.
