Shania and her husband Shino are from Somalia. When they moved to Sweden, they were very devoted to Islam. One day, Shania received an Iraqi video. She saw a group of men talking in Arabic about another man before them, seemingly being judged. This other man turned out to be a Jewish American called Nicholas Barry. One of the Arabic speaking men put his hand in his jacket, and took out a long sword which he used to chop off the head off Nicholas in the name of Allah. It was horrific and it shook Shania down to her core. This was a brutal, satanic sacrifice.
Later on, she recalls having a dream. In it, she saw a man in a bright, white robe. He was calling people to be saved. She saw everyone bowing down to Him, and Shania kneeled down to worship Him too.
In another dream, Shania dreamt of her mom giving her a Qur'an. But Shania surprised herself replying: 'Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one goes to the Father except through Him'. She was initially puzzled at what came out of her mouth. As she was fleeing in her dream, the same person in her first dream came to save her. He saved her like a Father would save a daughter. She was rescued and taken upward to a beautiful place, almost indescribable and beyond imagination. She was overjoyed in this place. She heard God said, this is the place He had prepared for her. Then she saw a screen, and the screen showed cloudy smoke; it was dark and scary. And God told her that in that smoke Shania's family where lost because they don't believe in Him. Then Shania woke up.
She googled the words that she remembered had told her mom in the dream. And she was shocked to find out that what she said was exactly John 14:6 was from the Bible. Shania realized that God loved her (John 3:16), and she accepted Jesus as her Saviour.
Shino, Shania’s husband, was afraid for his wife when she shared this with him. After a period of 4 years, Shino also ended up reading the Bible for himself, which also led him to accept Jesus as his Saviour.
Shania and Shino grew their fellowship from 3 people to over 120. Now they share their faith through a channel under the name Somali Christian TV. This is their YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/@SomaliChristianTVExMuslims and this is their Facebook page. https://www.facebook.com/SomaliChristianTV/
Even though they face persecution every day, and are forced to move from one neighbourhood to another, the grace of God has continued to carry them through.

Bala sells firewood for a living in Northern Nigeria. One day, his eyesight started to get worse and worse, until he was completely blind. He was blind for a period of three years. Because of this, he couldn't work nor see his own family. He tried getting healing from doctors and shamans, but he remained unable to see.
Bala heard that there was a team from the CBN network that came to share the Jesus Film nearby. He also heard that people got healing from prayer there. Bala wanted to go to this nearby location to receive prayer and healing, but it was too difficult for a blind man to get there. The CBN team learned about Bala and instead, they went to visit him and pray for him. Soon after praying for Bala, his eyes started to get itchy. And then, Bala noticed that his eyesight suddenly got clearer and clearer. Bala's eyes were miraculously healed! This miracle not only led his family to accept Jesus as their Lord and Saviour, but also many of his Muslim neighbours to accept Christ.
Today, Bala is back to his firewood business and is very grateful for God's healing. Watch his short testimony here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqEakHTvDMg
A Jesus dream in Libya!
"Marina" is a Christian from Libya who came from a Muslim background. Libya is a country known for being the country where a group of Islamic fundamentalist extremist videotaped the gruesome beheading of 21 Christians that refused to deny Jesus even with their last breath. She tells many stories of the great cost that Christians face when they leave Islam.
"Omar" is also another Christian from Libya who is facing intense persecution for sharing his new found faith with other Libyans. There is great misunderstanding among Libyans on what it is to have a true relationship with God. God wants to be like a father to his adopted children, and not like a master that has no care for his slaves.
Marina retells her story on how she decided to follow Jesus. One day, she dreamt that she was in a very dark, evil place. Suddenly, she felt a hand take her out of that place of fear, and into a bright light. She didn't understand the dream originally. But when she turned on the TV, she heard the pastor on the channel say that someone was taken from darkness to light. She then understood that the one who saved her was Jesus, and that only He was able to take her out of the darkness. Watch this documentary about Libya here.

Hephzibah hoped something miraculous would happen when she called, so she did.
The number led to a pastor. She agreed to meet him in person and after understanding more about Jesus, she decided to accept and follow Him as her Saviour. The only thing she wanted was a chance to go to school, and she prayed fervently for this in Jesus name. The next day, unexpectedly, her father told her he planned to send her to school.

This is the story of Ugandan man Umar Mulinde. He was born and raised as a Muslim man. He knows Arabic and thoroughly studied the Qur'an and specialized in interpreting Haddiths. He was zealous for Allah, leading a mosque for a year.
Then he got a dream. His hands and feet bound up and fire around him. It terrified him. But someone standing on the right called Umar to repent and follow Jesus. He did his Islamic prayers hoping the dream would go away. But the dreams continued, for weeks.
Then he remembered a person preaching with the Bible and the Qur'an. He remembered how interesting it was that Isa was mentioned 90+ times and Jesus' mother also 90+ times. No other names are mentioned more in the Qur'an. He remembered the person said to pray in Jesus name, and things would happen. And it did. Umar gave his life to Jesus. He met true peace and love. He discovered the truth.
But that is the beginning of suffering for Jesus, as he was attacked with acid. These scars have changed his life, but instead of hating his enemies, Umar continues to share Jesus' love through forgiveness. Watch this amazing testimony.
How devoted to God can someone be? Meet Betty. She was born in Sierra Leone, Africa. She grew up as a devout Muslim. She got married to a Sheikh and was even more devout than her husband - praying for hours in the middle of the night.
Her passion to follow the pillars of Islam drove her to engage in the Hajj pilgrimage 2 times, where she was able to touch the ka'baa.
Passionate Muslims are known for their calloused foreheads that come as a result of rubbing your forehead to the carpet when doing salat (praying). Her calloused forehead used to be so heavy it was black.
Very few people can compare their zeal for God as this lady had. And then she got 3 dreams of Jesus. The third one, which was most powerful dream for her, saw Jesus with a crown of thorns. Seeing fresh blood being spilled to save her of her sins remains vividly imprinted in her memory. The power of the Lord Jesus has changed her life completely.
The callous skin on her forehead has since fallen. She vibrantly and boldly preaches the Gospel as a witness of the love of God. Listen to this amazing story from Betty for yourself.
No matter where you are or what background you come from, if you honestly and humbly as God to show you the truth, Jesus will guide you to the truth.
Carla* was groomed to be a suicide bomber. She was going to blow herself up at a local market. Before doing so, she got a profound dream. A man in dazzling white says "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. Follow me and you will preach the gospel."
Carla asked a Christian for answers, learned about the gospel, and accepted Jesus.
Carla has then a second dream! The same man wearing dazzling white tells her to go to the regional Jihadist commander and tell him the gospel. The commander was greatly feared as he had been responsible for the death of thousands.
Despite warnings to not go, Carla was determined and went. She was somehow able to approach the commander and tell her the gospel. The commander fell down in tears. Why? Three days ago, Jesus had appeared to the commander in a dream. He told the commander he was in a path of destruction. He needed to change. And was told that a woman would come and tell him about the gospel. He believed, and then ordered all his officers to come (3 truckloads). Carla coordinated with the Jesusfilm team and shared the gospel in the local heart language. Nearly 1000 people have accepted Jesus and renounced terrorism.
* the name of Carla has been changed to protect her identity.
