This is the story of Shah Ahmadi from Iran. He was raised in a household with 5 sisters and brothers. His father took him to the mosque at the age of 8. At age 13 he was ranked #1 in memorizing the Qur'an in his city. He was smart and zealous. Shah finished his degree in civil engineering in Iran. During Ramadan, he would religiously fast and pray 5 times a day. He viewed Christians as unclean people that ate pork and drank alcohol. Christians were targeted and imprisoned in Iran. Baptized Christians would get 12-13 years in prison. And if a Christian had shared their faith with others, or baptize believers, or pastored churches, they would get an even more severe punishment.
Shah worked at a petrochemical company. Because the company was very international, the Iranian government kept on questioning him about his relationship with the US and Israel. He finally received a warning that if he did not leave Iran immediately, he would be killed or be tortured to wipe away his memory. So Shah was forced to escape illegally, crossing the snowy border of Turkey and Iran. It was the hardest part of his life, going from being a successful senior engineer manager to simply surviving and running for his life.
Shah reached Turkey and it led him to drink and smoke to hide the pain. He started to wonder where God was. He later moved to the UK. Someone approached him and said, did you know Jesus loves you? Shah was originally self-righteous, but now felt condemned because of all his sin. On Christmas, he was invited to church. When they were worshipping, Shah laughed at Christianity. He didn't see the respect that God truly should have. But then, the presence of God filled Shah with something he had never felt before. Shah started weeping uncontrollably. This experience led him to compare the Bible and the Qur'an page to page for 8 months.
Then he got a dream. He dreamt he was dead in a coffin at a cemetery. He heard 'you where dead, but now you are alive'. He saw a cross full of light and fire and raised him out of the coffin and pushed him into a church. That morning he gave his life to Jesus.
Shah is now in the US, involved in ministry to share Christ to Iranians. Amazingly, 8 of his external family members came to Christ through dreams and visions. One of the eight stories includes that of his sister. In her dream, she saw the Jewish people praying at the wailing wall. the Muslims praying to the Ka'bah. And Jesus appeared saying that He is the only way (John 14:6). Today, a total of 32 family members have turned to Christ.

This is the story of Kevin who was born and raised to a Muslim household in Iran. Because Kevin’s grandfather from his mother’s side was actually a worker at a Shia shrine, he grew up experiencing a very devout Shia Islam religion. But Kevin’s grandfather died when her mother (Sarah) was not even a teenager yet. This affected her immensely. One day, when his mother was 13, she was asked to serve tea to a visitor, a stranger. And he would end up being Kevin’s biological father.
Sarah gave birth to 3 sons with this man. But the father was extremely abusive, to the point that Kevin’s older brother was left in a coma and Sarah had to be hospitalized for broken bones. This made Sarah depressed and suicidal. As she was about to take her life, the radio turned on all of a sudden. Sarah heard the story of a woman that was abused. Sarah wrote a letter to her God, thinking He could not listen to her so she would write. She asked for a sign, and that night they got into a plane fled Iran.
They eventually settled in Sweden. Sarah worked hard as a hairdresser. As her children grew up, she saw her task as complete and wanted to end her life again. On her way to her business to take her life, she sees a church with open doors. She goes into the church and tells God what she is about to do, and asks for a final sign. Then, as she looks at the painting of Jesus, the eyes suddenly become real. This was an open eye vision. She felt like being in an ocean of love. And Sarah hears Jesus say: ‘It was never my intention for you to suffer this way’. Sarah is astonished and is so scared she runs home. She goes to sleep. The next morning, she gets a call. And a friend had a message for her – God told the pastor to ask ‘Where is Sarah’. Sarah could not believe this and went to church. That day she was radically saved.
Kevin heard his mom’s story, but he was full of anger. He didn’t believe God loved him. Her mom later had a dream to pray for Kevin and that God would use him mightily to preach the gospel around the world. Her mom one day decided to go on a mission trip and invited Kevin to come. Then he was invited to a leader’s conference when Kevin wasn’t even born again yet. Kevin decided to go to see if Jesus was indeed real. Kevin’s mom prophesied over Kevin on what would happen, and it happened exactly as he was told. Kevin sensed the presence of God there.
Michelle was born and raised in Iran. Her family organized an arranged marriage and she moved to the US and had a son. Her husband mistreated the little boy and left them. This was a very difficult time for Michelle.
One day, when the boy was a toddler, he became very sick. He had a very high fever and she felt like he was certainly going to die that night. She started to do the only thing she knew, which was to pray to Allah in Arabic. She was hoping that her god would answer her. And then after she was done, Michelle asked God creator of the world, in her mother tongue Farsi, to heal her son. Around 5am, she fell asleep.
In her dream, she found herself in the middle of a desert, with sand dunes all around her. Her son was sick in her dream as well and then he died. Michelle shouted out to Jesus for some reason when this happened. She was full of sadness and sorrow seeing her son die in her dream. And then, a man came near her. He touched her on her shoulder and then ran his hand over the dead child's face. Immediately, the child woke up and was well! Right after that happened, she woke up from her dream. And as she woke up, she noticed that her son also woke up and was asking for food! Miraculously, her son's fever had left him and even looked like he was never ill.
Later in life, when she was invited to an Iranian church, and she started to read the Bible. She learned about Jesus and decided to follow Jesus as her Lord and Saviour. Watch her amazing testimony here:
Marjan was born in Iran. She was a devout Muslim, of the majority Twelver Shi'ism. She would never miss daily prayers and fasting. She wanted to follow Allah religiously to the tee in all that she did.
She later moved to Germany, which was a very lonely and depressing time for her. She even contemplated suicide. She met a Christian lady there who told her about Jesus. Marjan desired the peace and joy her friend had following Jesus, but Jesus was only a prophet for her. Marjan accepted prayer, because she desired the peace that she lacked. That same evening she slept really well and had great peace. In the morning, as she was getting breakfast at a cafeteria in the refugee camp, she said to herself: Jesus, if you are God, I believe in you. That's when she felt her whole body tingle as if rain was pouring all over her.
That night, her daughter had a dream. The dream was very unique, as she dreamt that in the darkness she saw a light. And the light said that 'I am a thief, I come to steal you'. How can a thief be light? But when Marjan shared this dream with her Christian friend, she was shocked to learn that there's a similar verse in the Bible where Jesus said He is coming like a thief in the night on the Day of Judgment. The dream was a confirmation for Marjan that believing in Jesus was the right choice and had no further doubts.
Marjan has a simple request to anyone watching her testimony: simply let go of your prejudices. Many people have a fixed idea of who Jesus is and are unwilling to let go of that mindset. This is the verse from the Bible she wants to share with people:
Isaiah 40:28-31
Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

Shah was born and raised as a Shia Muslim originally from northwest Iran. His mother tongue is Azeri which is spoken in Azerbaijan, but he also learned Farsi, the Iranian national language. He followed the Muslim rituals because he wanted to avoid hell. But it did not give him any peace. He disliked having to regurgitate prayers in Arabic, a foreign language that he wasn't familiar with.
Over time, there was a Christian acquaintance that told him, did you know that Jesus loves you? That touched Shah, but he felt unworthy of God’s love. This Christian man kept on showing him unconditional love and inviting Shah to church. Shah had never gone to church. But after declining multiple times, Shah finally went and was immediately surprised at the worship that took place at that church. Shah read the lyrics of the songs being played. Then he mediated on what he heard, that Jesus is the prince of peace. It was then that Shah had a vision seeing his life story in a minute, all in black and white images. And he realized that in his life, he had not found any peace and it made Shah weep. Then he heard and re-read the words from Matthew 6:33 – “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you”. He had never read a Bible before. But the words of that verse blew him away with God's peace. Every day he asked God for peace and his prayer was answered.
Shah started to compare the Bible and the Qur'an. He found out that there was actually no comparison because the Bible was far superior. Shah fell in love with Jesus' teachings. Although Shah found peace in Christ, he struggled with the concept of the trinity, that God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit where three in one. He then received a dream, and saw that he was dead and inside a casket. Then he saw a cross making him alive. It was then that Shah realized that Jesus Christ to be his Lord and Saviour. The dream was clear. Shah was dead, but the cross brought him to life. This dream was a definitive answer to Shah's prayer. Listen to Shah's testimony here!
Persian woman dreams about Jesus!
Fatima was born to a Muslim family in Iran. Allah was the only God that she ever knew at the time. But Allah was a distant creator, never a personal God. She had a big burden within her that she felt wouldn't go away no matter what she did. She needed to know God more deeply. So Fatima kept on seeking for God and was desperately in tears looking for the real God that would answer her by looking at the sun or even reading coffee grounds. Until one day, she had a dream of her walking in a garden together with someone she somehow knew it was Jesus. In the dream, Jesus asked her, do you want to follow me? Fatima didn't really understand what He meant. How could she follow someone whom she knew only as a prophet that lived two thousand years ago? It really didn’t make sense to her.
Fatima later on moved to the US. She continued to have dreams of attending either old churches or modern churches with her family. She had a friend that accepted Jesus and he shared with her the peace and joy that he had found in Christ. She wanted what her friend had.
One day she went to a church. And someone asked her if she believed Jesus is God. Despite this going completely against Islam, Fatima accepted because she didn’t see it as a big commitment. Fatima knew she would sooner or later find out if Jesus was not really God eventually if He indeed wasn’t. So she prayed and accepted Jesus. When she did, the burden she lived with for many years, finally went away. She has yet to find any good factual evidence that Jesus is not God. Fatima has shared her faith with her family and today, Fatima's mother, brother and two sisters are also following Jesus. Listen to her testimony!
Sheikh family decides to follow Jesus!
This girl grew up in Iran and Turkey while her dad was in prison since she was very young. When she was 9 years old, Jesus appeared to her father in a dream/vision. Jesus called her father to repent from his sins and He would forgive him.
She grew up without having any physical disabilities, but later in life, she got paralyzed because of an infection that blocked her nerves. The disease made her lose control of her hands and feet. It was a very traumatic experience.
When she was a teenager, her dad wanted her to go to church. Her mother opposed, but they eventually attended one day. Instead of feeling like a piece of meat as she did at other religious institutions, she actually felt loved. People loved her as a person made in the image of God, just as Jesus taught to love your neighbour as yourself. People there prayed for her.
Her mother said that she would believe in Jesus if her daughter was miraculously healed. She went to bed, praying to Jesus. She hoped to be healed so that her mother could believe. That night, she had a dream. A man in white with a shiny face walked into the room. He simply asked: 'Do you want to be healed?' When she said she did, the man simply said ‘Ok then - be healed.’ He put a cross on her hand and left. The next morning, she was overjoyed! They went to check at the hospital, and the doctor was shocked. The disease was miraculously gone. When her mom heard that, she bowed to her knees and believed in Jesus are her Saviour.
She now believes in Jesus. He is the one and only who resurrected and is alive and promised eternal life.
