Then he had a dream. In the dream, he sensed God warning him to turn from his wrong ways. He shared that dream with his mother and immediately they thought about going to a Mosque to ask for healing. Nothing happened. Then Lkhdr asked to be taken to a church and they took him there. The people there said, if he accepted Jesus as his Saviour, they would pray for healing for him.

Then she had a dream. There was a little hole she looked out from her house. And she saw her life ... a life full of misery and injustices done to her. And then someone was behind her, and she somehow knew it was Jesus. She grabbed her arm and told her it was enough. Enough fighting, enough misery. Then she woke up. She called a friend and told them she needed to get baptized. It was a long process, but it was as sweet as eating a spoonful of honey every day. Listen to her story in her own native language!
Ali was a jihadi. He had a long beard, wore white clothing and trained to fight alongside the Taliban in Afghanistan. One of Ali’s brothers, however, had become a Christian.
Ali belonged to an Islamist cell group that distributed tracts about fasting, Islamic dress and joining the jihad. But in 1992, following a crackdown on Islamists, he suddenly found himself at the top of the Algerian government’s most-wanted list.
One day, frustrated with his self-imposed house arrest, Ali went for a bus ride and got off at a random stop. A young woman at the bus stop caught his eye, so he asked her if he could talk to her. “No,” she said bluntly, “don’t talk to me. I am a Christian.”
Ali was surprised, not least because it was a risky thing for her to admit. Still, he was attracted to her, so he tried another approach. “My brother is a Christian,” he told her. “Really?” she asked. The girl then told him that she had become a believer by listening to Christian radio stations and writing down the Bible verses she heard. She had never even met a Christian.
As the girl became more comfortable talking with Ali, she boldly asked him if he could get her a Bible from his brother. Eager to please, Ali did get her a Bible, and in the process he became curious about what it had to say. He read the Bible, compared its teaching with the Quran and began to ask questions at the mosque.
Then one night he had a dream in which Jesus spoke to him: “Come to me all who are heavy burdened and I will give you rest.” Ali woke up and immediately felt as if a load had been lifted from his shoulders. “At that moment,” he said, “I woke up and told him, ‘Lord, forgive me. You are Christ, you are God and I believe.’”
