Isik was born and raised by Muslim family in Turkey. Although her family didn't lack anything financially, Isik had a very difficult and sad upbringing. Her father was a womanizer. Her mother in turn vented her anger towards Isik every time she found out about her husband's affairs. Isik's mother abused her daughter continually, being told they hoped she was never born. Isik was beaten up and chop off her long hair. One time she was even molested by a relative's son who was a lot older than her. The worst was that the parents even knew about the molestation and did nothing about it.
Isik was dedicated at studying her Qur'an, through her great grand mother. Isik prayed and fasted since she was 7, but never heard back from Allah. Isik studied Islamic literature and met someone in college that was a fanatical Muslim. When they got married, her husband started to become extremely abusive. She was spat on, pulled by the hair, slapped in public; and he would excuse himself because the Qur'an allowed it.
Isik excelled in her studies, but needed to divorce the man. She graduated, and bought a one way ticket to the US. She married again, looking for a good husband but it ended up failing. She was in her late twenties, a single mother under great depression. She started to work for a Christian man whose boss loved Jesus. She felt even more miserable that someone could love their God. Just when she was planning to end her life, she asked God why He hated her so much? Why did He abandoned her? Then surprisingly her boss asked to meet her. Her boss was uncomfortable saying this, but he felt strongly that Jesus wanted to tell her that she was NOT abandoned. That He loved her even when she was abused as a child. This experience made Isik accept Jesus into her life, and the burden she carried in her life she was able to let go.
Watch her amazing testimony that continues into a path of forgiveness with her mother, and her once Armenian hating father accept Jesus and going now to an Armenian church. Isik is now married and her whole family is serving God.
Angel is half Turkish and half English. She was raised in a Muslim household.
As she got her heartbroken in her teenage years, she started reading the Qur'an more. She travel and moved around the world. She got a friend Jacob who was a Christian and explained his belief. Angel was extremely confused on how God could have a son. She ended up getting a Bible and compared what it said with the Qur'an. Unfortunately, Jacob lived far away in Budapest and she felt alone in trying to understand more about God.
She remembered, someone told her that she could ask Jesus to reveal himself and He would show you. Then for 14 days, she had many powerful dreams. She used to wore a necklace with the name Allah in it. She had a nightmare and when she woke up, she saw an imprint of Allah in her hand from her necklace. And she felt this as spiritual and something she needed to have removed. They were all a sign from God. So she believed in Jesus as her Saviour.
Finally, she felt the need to be baptized. Her friend Jacob agreed to baptize her in a river. She was very scared about sharing with others about her new faith, but God continued to encourage her to be a light, not to be hidden under a basket, but to be put in the middle of a room to shine for all to see. Listen to her testimony and be encouraged because God answers honest prayers to know Him.
Yuce was a Muslim from Turkey. He learned to memorize Qur'an verses to pray from his grandmother. One day he had a dream - he saw some women saying 'He is not in the grave', and left with fear and joy. He didn't know what this meant.
And then he saw and ad for a "free Bible". When he read up to Matthew chapter 27 and 28 regarding the resurrection of Christ, he was shocked to see his dream explained by the Bible. His thought was immediately - Allah, please don't test me like this. I don't want to become a Christian.
Yuce had questions to professors about the differences between the Qur'an and the Bible. Namely, why does the Bible say Jesus was crucified and the other doesn't? The professors said the Bible was corrupted but failed to give any factual evidence. So Yuce spent hours in a library doing his own research. What did history say about Jesus?
Yuce was at a crossroad. He was a Muslim. The Bible was telling the truth. But the Bible also pointed Jesus as divine. Thomas the apostle said 'My Lord and my God'. Jesus was worshipped. As a Muslim, he couldn't accept that. But it was the truth. He decided to become a Christian. Then his parents found out. They wanted Yuce to leave the house, but then they saw the change Yuce had in relationship to them. So his family has come to terms since seeing the positive changes in Yuce. Now he is studying seminary to serve Jesus, his Lord and Saviour. Please listen to his amazing testimony!
