Entire Families Coming to Christ in Saudi Arabia

"I am an Iranian and was not only a Muslim but also part of a terrorist family. Jesus appeared to me in a dream and changed my life. Do not miss this!"

(Saudi Arabia)—In November 2013, Greg Kernaghan, a writer for Operation Mobilization (OM) International, traveled through the Middle East interviewing and recording Christian workers in those areas. Note that the names and some of the places he mentions have been changed to protect Christians from persecution. (Map via Frontline Missions)

Writes Kernaghan: "We're hearing of women and whole families coming to Christ, which is significant. Normally we would know of individual men but, as the culture places such importance on the family unit, this is a major step forward.

"One girl is writing hymns and posting them on the Internet. That was where she learnt of Christ and has 'met' workers, although she has yet to meet other Christians face to face. Two of her sisters also believe in Christ. A Bahraini across the country is gifted in playing local Arabic instruments. He puts her hymns to music and posts them on YouTube."

Another story told to Kernaghan is about two workers "who walked past a sidewalk café in Europe. Five Arabs invited them to join them. God prompted one of the workers, a Saudi—whose dialect was immediately recognizable and thus a surprise to the five men—to share his testimony. The hearers asked, 'Aren't you afraid of confessing this because of the consequences in your country?' He replied, 'No, because I am at peace with God and know where I will spend eternity.' As he continued to speak one of the listeners, also a Saudi, began to weep. Their time ended with the workers praying for the five men.

"The next day, they met one of the Saudi men who said, 'As you spoke yesterday, I felt real peace within me for the first time.' He asked for materials to share with the other four friends.

"While the workers were in conversation on the street with another Arab," notes Kernaghan, "an Iranian woman approached them – shocking it itself – and said, 'You must listen to this man; he speaks truth. I am an Iranian and was not only a Muslim but also part of a terrorist family. Jesus appeared to me in a dream and changed my life. Do not miss this!' This caused the man to begin thinking and questioning deeply; not long after he came to Christ."
