God 'bent the bullet,' Stopped it from Harming Syrian Christian Women

As they passed through a somewhat dicey neighborhood, they suddenly heard the sound of gunfire…

According to a report by Christian Aid Mission, Sabeen*, along with her sister and niece, were on their way to visit a friend languishing in the hospital, winding through the byzantine streets of Damascus in their small car. They knew the dangers for anyone to travel there–especially women–but they had faith in God's protection. (*Name changed for protection)

They knew there is really no "safe" place in Syria under current conditions, but according to Psalm 91:1, the one who "dwells in the shelter of the Most High," finds protection in the shadow of the Almighty.

Sabeen and her sister—both actively living out their faith—often travel through the streets of the ancient city looking for ministry opportunities and holding prayer meetings. Then they connect with churches outside Syria and direct them concerning the best way to meet any pressing needs. (Photo: Damascus destruction/via spiegel.de)

As they passed through a somewhat dicey neighborhood, they suddenly heard the sound of gunfire. It was not an unfamiliar sound—the women have survived months living in such conditions.

But then came a jolting boom that rocked the car and the sound of an explosion!

Something struck the front of the vehicle, but they were still moving forward. To their surprise, the car was still drivable. They looked at each other incredulously, and no one seemed to be wounded or even grazed.
