Jesus and Tim in Las Vegas




http://www.jesusandtim.org/audio/jesusandtim-082711-live-kkvv-am.mp3

Tim opens the show talking about the "land for peace" initiative that the world is trying to force on Israel, and suggests some of God's judgments that might be associated with those supporting the sellout of Israel.

Pastor Biniam Asefaw is today's guest. Pastor "Bini" is pastor at the Bethel Church of Eritrea in Las Vegas, which holds services at Trinity Life Center. Eritrea is a country in East Africa bordering Sudan, Ethiopia, and Djibouti. Pastor Bini shares his testimony, saying he first went to Church at age 14 when he felt the love of Jesus. He started his ministry towards the end of 1995 when he gave his life to the Lord, becoming a full time minister at a full gospel Church. His Church started growing but was under pressure from the government to not preach to Muslims, and he was sent to jail. After six months he was taken from prison and put on the border with Ethiopia, where they were having border problems. He asked the Lord to help him spread the Gospel in this difficult environment, and says that God protected him during that time. He then went to the Sudan where he became a pastor of a Church, and later moved to Italy, where he sought political asylum and became a full gospel minister of an Eritrean Church in Milan. After Italy he moved to Las Vegas to Trinity Life Center.

Tim and Pastor Bini discuss the difficult problem of witnessing to Muslims. Tim and Bini also talk about Coptic Christians, and the need for Coptic Christians to become real Born Again Christians, and have a relationship with God. Tim encourages Muslims to read John 9:35-38 that deals with Jesus being the Son of God, and to contrast this with the Islamic view that Jesus was just a prophet. (Ed: MB)
