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.
