From Islam to Christianity: A Couple's Journey to Faith and Purpose

A Journey of Faith and Identity

• 🎯 Ade was raised in a devout Muslim family in Indonesia, where faith was part of her identity and culture, but not a personal relationship with God.
• 🔑 Marc, a Canadian, converted to Islam to marry Ade, transitioning from a lukewarm Catholic to a lukewarm Muslim.
• ✨ Both Ade and Marc experienced an encounter with the Holy Spirit after searching for more meaning, leading them to give their lives to Jesus.

Embracing Christianity and a New Purpose

• ✝️ The transition from Islam was a mix of emotions for Ade, but she felt a strong conviction that Jesus was God and her savior, despite cultural teachings.
• 💡 Mark found Christianity offered a relationship with God, not just a religion, which provided purpose, meaning, and improved all aspects of their lives, including business and family.
• 🚀 They discovered that Christianity provided an unshakable inner peace, distinct from the external highs and lows experienced in other beliefs.

Iron Ministry: Faith in the Fitness World

• 🏋️‍♀️ Ade and Mark identified self-idolization in the fitness industry and sought to use apparel as a tool for ministry.
• 🤝 They founded Iron Ministry, an apparel company inspired by Proverbs 27:17 ("As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another").
• 📣 The company's goal is to share the gospel and the love of Jesus beyond church walls, integrating faith into the fitness and street scenes.

Finding True Success in Humility

• 🙏 Ade emphasizes Jesus' humility on Earth and her personal prayer: "make me less so it's more of you."
• 🌟 True success, for her, is not in titles or wealth, but in being at Jesus' feet.
• 💖 They encourage listeners to contemplate Jesus' story and the profound impact of a personal relationship with Him.
