From Mohammed to John — A Testimony of Courage and Faith

Hosts: Sandra Robson & Reverend Ben Cooper
Special Focus: Persecuted Church | Testimony from Open Doors UK
Guest Story: Former Muslim from Yemen

Welcome to another deeply moving episode of our podcast with your hosts Sandra Robson and Reverend Ben Cooper, where we explore the often-overlooked world of the persecuted church. Today’s conversation is both inspiring and sobering as we share a powerful and personal testimony from Open Doors UK—a story of faith, courage, and transformation that you won’t soon forget.

Our subject today is a man formerly known as Mohammed, a devout Muslim from the country of Yemen, where conversion to Christianity is considered not only shameful but illegal. When Mohammed encountered the gospel of Jesus Christ, everything in his life changed. He surrendered his life to Christ, left Islam behind, and took on a new name: John.

This episode takes you through the emotional and spiritual journey of a man who lost everything for the sake of Christ—his family, his livelihood, his home—but gained eternal life and a new identity in Jesus. Now living in the United Kingdom, John actively shares the gospel despite multiple death threats from Muslim extremists. His story is one of resilience, grace, and the unshakable power of the Holy Spirit.

Sandra and Ben reflect on:

• The cost of following Jesus in closed nations
• The challenges and victories faced by converts from Islam
• The biblical foundation of suffering for Christ
• The mission and support provided by Open Doors UK

Listeners will be encouraged to hear how John's faith in Christ shines through unimaginable adversity. His message is simple yet profound: Jesus is worth everything. In a world where many are free to worship, this story is a wake-up call to pray, support, and stand with the global body of Christ who suffer for their faith.

This is more than just a testimony—it’s a call to action, a challenge to grow deeper in your walk with Christ, and a reminder that persecution still exists today in very real and dangerous ways.

Tune in for this courageous story of transformation, and be inspired to live boldly for Jesus no matter the cost.
