This is the story of an Indian lady named Sharon who grew up as a Muslim in Bombay. She was born to an Indian family that valued education. Even though excelled in arts, her parents wanted her to study engineering instead.
One day as she was studying for an exam, she received a vision that would change her life. She was locked in her room alone trying to study. Then a voice told her to pray. She tried to ignore the voice at first, but couldn't in the end. She only knew how to pray at set times, and at 1:30pm, it was already passed that. So she simply closed her eyes, asking that if there was a God, that He would reveal himself to her. And then, she saw a bright image. Although she had no Christian background, she had no doubt it was Jesus. And she fell down crying, realizing the dark spots of pride and self-righteousness that polluted her heart.
After the vision, she wanted to know better who Jesus was. A friend of her gave her the Bible to read. Once she got the holy book, she read it for very long periods of time, from 8pm to 3am. She was wondering why she had seen Jesus? This inner battle continued within her. But as time passed, Sharon approached life in a different way. She could now relate with her Creator. She could pray to Him. But it also meant the difficult choice of leaving her parents for Jesus. It was a costly decision, but Jesus helped her every step of the way because God is and always will be faithful.

Ansari lives in India. He was raised in a traditional Muslim family. His original name was Syed, but he decided to change his name later on in life. When Ansari was a teenager, his biology teacher came to class one day with a totally different appearance. She didn't have a big bindi mark on her forehead and was wearing a white sari. This type of dress made Ansari think that his teacher’s husband had passed away as he approached to ask her. Surprisingly, his teacher said she had a vivid dream where Jesus Christ had lifter her up. Ansari began arguing with her, since he never saw Jesus as more than a mere prophet. But his teacher ascertained that Jesus is God and that He completely changed her life. She confidently told Ansari that one day, he will come to understand the truth like she did.
One day two years later, Ansari’s parents were arguing at home. He recalls that on December 24th, 1990, his dad hit his mom and she was left bloodied. Ansari’s dad then even fought him. The family completely broke apart that day and Ansari was kicked out of the house. Ansari was considering suicide. Then he heard an audible voice say. "Ansari - try me, I'm Jesus." That confused him. Ansari immediately thought about the incident he had with his biology teacher a couple of years ago.
So Ansari decided to meet up with his biology teacher that day. He wanted some answers from her. She told Ansari that Jesus loves him and that Jesus wanted to save his life. The next day it was Christmas, and Ansari went to attend a church service for the first time. The title of the sermon was unique, “Jesus, born to die”. Ansari learned that He is the only one to raise from the dead to defeat death. That day, Ansari gave his life to Jesus.
He wanted to become secret believer. But his mother found out about Ansari getting baptized and around sixty family members gathered together to pressure him to return to Islam. He was tortured and persecuted by his own family for over three years, but Jesus was with him throughout the trial. His mom even tried to use witchcraft to bring him back. She did that by paying a witch and handing them a personal artifact of Ansari. The witch locked herself up to start the ritual and half an hour later, she ran out and returned the money to her mother. Your son has a wall of fire around him and I cannot reach him! All my powers have been burned up, so leave him alone.
Ansari later on became a pastor. His mom eventually came to his church one day, surprising Ansari. The sermon topic wasn’t particularly gospel focused, but it spoke to her so deeply because it related to the witchcraft incident, that she gave her life to Jesus right there and then.

Indian guru follows Jesus!
A Maharashi is an honorary title given to a Hindu teacher, a sage in its religion. The Maharashi are not to listen to any other religious beliefs. In fact, his belief allows them to order people to rightfully stone whoever tries to share their faith with them.
A man named Ravi had a dream one day. In that dream, Ravi was instructed to go near a specific giant Hindu temple to look for a man with a white beard dressed in orange and also wearing an orange turban. Ravi decided to follow his dream and went to the Hindu temple he saw in his dream. Coincidentally, when he arrived, he saw the man in orange as in the dream. What he didn’t know, was that that man, a Maharashi, also had a dream in which he saw Jesus and was told to meet a man there to tell him more about who Jesus is. When the Maharashi saw Ravi, he knew that was the man that would tell him more about Jesus. The meeting clearly showed roots of more of a divine appointment rather than a mere coincidence.
As they started talking, a crowd started to form around them. In order to focus in their conversation, they decided to go to a quiet place. There, Ravi told him about the Gospel, that salvation comes through Jesus. The Maharashi believed and accepted prayer to follow Jesus. What did the Maharashi do after he was told the good news of the gospel? He told his own followers. He wanted to tell everyone he knew, he simply couldn't hold back. Why? Because the best things in life are shared and not kept for themselves.
Since them, the Maharashi continues to tell people about Jesus. He gives all the credit to Jesus. To prove that he has chosen the right path, he has performed many miraculous healings, in the name of Jesus.
Many things are impossible for mere humans. But nothing is impossible for an almighty and all powerful God. Watch this short but amazing nine minute video of the encounter!
Musthafa is an Indian Muslim that followed many rituals and traditions growing up. But hearing an audible voice changed his life. He thought it was the voice of Allah. So he wanted to go pray at a Mosque, but there was a power that prevented him from going. Musthafa followed the power to a person preaching about Jesus, but he didn't understand much because he didn't spoke that language. And the voice revealed to him it was indeed Jesus. And after he prayed he looked, and there was Jesus. The power was so great that Musthafa couldn't stand and fell down.
Jesus asked who would talk to others about him. Musthafa doubted because of his speech impediment, but had the heart. With that heart, the Lord healed him and he as been preaching ever since answering the call.
This is the story of Mohammed Ajhas from India. He was a very devouted Sunni Muslim that questioned, If Allah commanded his former prophet Muhammad to pray 50 times a day, who is prophet Musa to overrule and say only 5 times? As Mohammed was contemplated suicide under a tree, he saw a plate verse "your sorrows will turn into joy". And he heard a voice telling him to go home.
The same voice talked to him at home, in a dream/vision. That voice said, I am the Lord Jesus Christ. See how Mohammed continued in his life, gaining understanding of God's love for him and understand how to follow Jesus. See how his life testimony led his mother and family to follow Jesus.
