Summary
Join this week as we continue our look back on some of the amazing testimonies God allowed VOM Radio to share this year:
- Pam tells us about Muslim women coming to faith in Christ, including one who saw that her Christian friends were different, and wondered why.
- Amin tells how he began reading the Bible as a committed Muslim teenager, studying the book to try to prove why the Bible was wrong. But in the end, reading God's Word led him to Jesus Christ.
- Brother Bayram came to faith after someone gave him a New Testament. When he told his family in Turkey of his new faith, persecution began immediately.
- Living in Iran, Omid had a dream in which he saw a man in white give him a wrapped gift. The next day, his taxi driver gave him a gift that looked very much like the gift he'd been given in his dream. Inside was a Bible, a book that would change Omid's life.
- Brother John tells about a young family in Syria finding Christ in the midst of their child's medical crisis, and how Jesus gave them hope and joy.
- Ali tells us how God healed two Christians in Iran from COVID-19. They were in separate hospitals, but each had the same dream on the same night, and walked out of the hospital completely healed!
- Brother Jeremy recalls meeting the family of Pastor Jean Paul Sankagui, who had been martyred just days earlier in The Central African Republic.
