"Jesus' presence was stronger than I have ever felt, in that little dirty room... There was about 25 people in there and Jesus' presence was stronger than any conference, any prayer room, any camp-high moment. Jesus was there in the middle of the desert, in Iraq, in the dirt, with Muslims. He is attracted to the broken hearted, the contrite, the desperate. The King of Heaven was right there with the poor in spirit." -Tyler Connell

(Iraq)—Tyler Connell with the Ekballo Project has been touring college campuses around the U.S., sharing stories and vides from his most recent trip to Middle East, where he documented a dramatic move of God among Muslims, particularly with refugees. (Photo via God Reports)

In the last few months, he and his team visited Harvard, MIT, Iowa State, Clemson, and the University of Georgia, among other campuses. "In every stop we saw the presence of Jesus break in to these college campuses and touch students, with bodies healed, people saved, and people giving their lives to serve in the mission field," Connell exclaims.

College students are amazed to learn what God is doing in Iraq and the surrounding region. "Jesus is moving in these Middle East nations," he says. "Many there are disillusioned and broken and just want to know the truth. Now more than ever there is a harvest among Muslims that has not been seen in history."

He wasn't quite prepared for their reaction. "The family freaked out, they looked at each other, almost turned white. The father was excited, yelling."

What's going on? Daniel wondered.

The interpreter explained that the night before Daniel's visit the whole family was sitting in their tent having tea together and a Man in white opened the door to their tent and stood at the entrance. The Man was glowing.

"Hello, My name is Jesus and I am sending a man tomorrow named Daniel to tell you more about Me." Then He disappeared.

So when Daniel arrived at their doorway and told them his name, they were completely undone. "They asked him to tell them more about Jesus; and he gave them the Gospel and the whole family gave their lives to Jesus," Connell reports. (Screengrab via "Life In the Desert"/YouTube)

The father had been a part of the Free Syrian Army. "He had known bloodshed. He was a devout Muslim. This man and his family are now planting underground churches in Jordan and are seeing a harvest among Muslims."

"It's because I'm telling all our relatives in Saudi Arabia about Jesus," she said.

In another Syrian refugee family, Connell felt God's presence break through...
