DREAMS ABOUT JESUS - AFRICA (Egypt)

Egyptian leaves extremist Islam, hears Jesus in dream while sick

Najib was born and raised as a typical Muslim from Egypt, fasting and praying five times a day.

At a young age, he got involved with some extremist groups that where only interested in killing and violence. There was zero forgiveness. An inner voice told him that this was wrong, so he decided to leave that group.

He had big questions about the Qur'an. How can the same book say that Allah is the god of peace, also say that Allah is the great deceiver? No religious leader could answer his question. He was only encouraged not to doubt. This left him unsatisfied.

Life got darker for Najib. He stopped praying and fasting, and even doubted the existence of God as an atheist. Najib then got very sick for five weeks. Then one night he received a special dream. In it, he saw a cross. There was a voice telling him to get up from his sickness. He asked who it was, and the voice replied 'I am your Lord, Jesus Christ'. The dream left a deep impression in Najib’s heart.

One day, he found the Kingdom Sat channel where Pastor Michael Yousef was preaching. He was talking about God's love, forgiveness and mercy. He was talking from the same Bible that he was taught to hate and reject. He decided to call the number displayed in that TV channel and asked for a Bible. After reading and learning more about God’s word, Najib stopped believing in Islam altogether, had no doubts about the existence of God, and became a follower of Jesus.

Eventually, over time, His parents found out about his decision to follow Christ. When his mother found out, she went to grab a knife from the kitchen with the intention to stab him. She spat on his own son Najib after injuring him. Najib then decided to go to live with a brother in Christ. Listen to Najib's story here.

Egypt: Majed not alone while tortured in prison - dogs stay still

Egyptian saved!

Majed grew up in Egypt. He struggled with his own Islamic background beliefs because he saw the principles and values of Christians being peaceful in nature. Majed questioned himself what truth did they have that Muslims didn't want him to hear?

When Majed understood the sacrifice that Jesus did for him, he accepted Him as his Saviour. Majed started a Bible school and an underground church. His friend took a bullet for him and saved his life. Only a few short days later, Majed was arrested. He was tortured and imprisoned in a place known as 'Hell on Earth'.

He recalls being hung upside down, and even had his toe nails brutally ripped off. He was living in total darkness, and could only hear the screams of others around him being tortured. Because Majed would not volunteer any information, they finally decided to bring in dogs. Majed could only hold his head down, bracing for the assault. When nothing happened, he lifted his head up and only saw the three dogs sitting before him, unable to attack. The infuriated jailers brought three other dogs instead, but the result was still the same, the dogs would not attack Majed.

Although Majed was alone, he did not feel lonely. God must have sent an angel to be there with him. Majed concluded that the vicious dogs must have seen something that no person could see, which prevented them from attacking.

Later on, Majed miraculously left the Egyptian torture chamber and fled the country to Israel as a political refugee. Today, Majed lives in Canada and fights for the cause of religious persecution of minorities to give justice and protection to the oppressed. Watch this amazing testimony here.

Mohammed Camel Ex-muslim from Egypt: I didn't know God is my daddy

Mohammed is from Egypt. He wanted to go to a church with a Christian friend with the purpose of mocking Christianity. Mohammed thought Christianity was Hollywood. He thought it was all about women, liquor and sinful behavior. But Mohammed's experience was very different. After the sermon, the preacher started praying. Everyone closed their eyes and the prayer started ... "Our Father in Heaven ...". Then Mohammed started laughing because God cannot be a Father. And just then, Mohammed sensed the presence of God with his arm around him and face beside his face. He heard "Yes, I am your daddy." Mohammed said - I didn't know God is my daddy! Everything changed after that.

Mohammed started sharing his new faith with everyone - within buses and taxis. A taxi driver betrayed him and the police took Mohammed. A 1/2 hour trip the secret police said it would take, became 8 months in solitary confinement. But he ended up sharing the gospel with many people in prison and even the most high ranking officials.

Finally he was freed, even though he was told he would be imprisoned for life. Mohammed got married and had a child, Joshua. There was an accident where Joshua was learning to walk, fell into the pool, drowned and died. Then God told him Jesus is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. Mohammed prayed for Joshua and he started screaming inside the body bag. The doctors at the hospital said Joshua would have brain damage and become a vegetable. Mohammed promised to go anywhere with the gospel if Jesus would heal his son. And a miracle happened and Joshua was fully healed!

Mohammed went to a Muslim area in Kenya, where no police or military operate. An extremely dangerous area. Hundreds of people where going to kill him until he told them that the Quran itself says the Bible is the true word of God. God protected Mohammed from a dangerous situation and many Muslims heard the gospel and received Bibles.

After seeing how Daniel loved, believed and trusted God. After knowing what Jesus the Messiah has done for him, Mohammed changed his name to Daniel Abdil Messiah. Because he wants to be a servant of Jesus Christ the Messiah. This is Daniel's new motto: You work with God, God will protect you.

Egyptian Salafi Jihadist Muslim becomes a follower of Jesus

This is the story of Kareem, who now lives by the name Tomas Samuel. He was a very religious Muslim, a Salafi Muslim. He was raised with a desire to die in Jihad for Allah. The opportunity came to do that during the US war on Iraq, but something went wrong last minute. That drove Tomas to depression. He seeked atheism, pantheism, agnosticism. In his lowest point, Jesus came to him not just in 1 dream, but in 3 dreams to confirm his doubt.

Today Tomas is a faithful follower of Jesus saved by the grace of God. He reaches his Egyptian people with Arabic, to teach them about the hope we've found in Christ. Praise God!
