Over the years we have hosted some very special guests at our church but no one like, Mosab Youself! You are simply not going to want to miss Saturday September 4th at 7:00 p.m. Believe me, it’s worth staying home that Labor Day Weekend for the rare opportunity to hear Mosab’s incredible story in person.

In short, Mosab …

– Fought terror.

– Saved lives.

– And, has been changed by the power and love of Jesus Christ! His story is nothing short of extraordinary.

Working undercover for Israel, Mosab had the code name “The Green Prince”: green because of the color of the flag of the Palestinian people, and prince because he was the son of one of the founders of Hamas, the arch-enemy of Israel, and the heir apparent.

Mosab saved many Israeli AND Palestinian lives, as he provided information that helped thwart terror attacks in the Middle East.

Here is a description of him from his book, The Son of Hamas:

• “Before the age of twenty-one, Mosab Hassan Yousef saw things no one should ever see: abject poverty, abuse of power, torture, and death. He witnessed the behind-the-scenes dealings of top Middle Eastern leaders who make headlines around the world. He was trusted at the highest levels of Hamas and participated in the Intifada.He was held captive deep inside Israel’s most feared prison facility. His dangerous choices and unlikely journey through dark places made him a traitor in the eyes of people he loves–and gave him access to extraordinary secrets. . . . After a chance encounter with a British tourist, he started a six-year quest that jeopardized Hamas, endangered his family, and threatened his life.He has since embraced the teachings of Jesus and sought political asylum in America.”

Mosab writes …

• “As long as we continue to search for enemies anywhere but inside ourselves, there will always be a Middle East problem.Religion is not the solution. Religion without Jesus is just self righteousness. Freedom from oppression will not resolve things either …Manipulated by lies and driven by racism, hatred, and revenge, I was on my way to being one of those people. Then in 1999, I encountered the only True God. He is the Father whose love is beyond expression, yet shown in sacrifice of his only Son on a cross to atone for the world’s sins. He is God who, three days later, demonsrated his power and righteousness by raising Jesus from the dead. He is the God who not only commands me to love and forgive my enemies as he has loved and forgiven me but empowers me to do so. Truth and forgiveness are the only solution for the Middle East. The challenge, especially between Israelis and Palestinians, is not to find the solution. The challenge is to be the first courageous enough to embrace it.”

Get the news out! Bring your friends, family and neighbors. I will be interviewing Mosab, live at Calvary Chapel Auburn September 4th at 7:00 p.m. as we celebrate the power of Jesus Christ to change and heal lives!
