As the Syrian civil war continues after a failed cease-fire, many Muslims are encountering God, including a mother with confounding dreams that left her in a state of anticipation.
“The woman dreamt repeatedly of a man who told her that three people would come and bring her good news,” according to a ministry director for Christian Aid Mission (CAM).
“She continued to have this dream for six nights in a row,” the director told CAM. “On the seventh day, one of our teams was doing home visits and decided to visit a new house.”
The three men approached her door, not knowing that God had already prepared the way. The woman’s eyes widened when she opened to see the three, and she quickly ushered them inside.
“When they opened their Bible, she instantly fell to her knees,” the director told CAM.
As her husband and children walked in, she could not contain herself. “These are the people that the man in my dream told me to meet!” she told them excitedly.
The followers of Jesus spoke to her about His saving death on the cross and resurrection from the dead. Then they prayed with the family.
“They all put their faith in Him,” the ministry leader recounted. The entire household was saved!
“Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved – you and your household.” (Acts 16:30-31)
“We have continued to disciple them since then, and they are like sponges – eager to learn and know everything they can,” the ministry director said.
