A 50-Year Solo Journey

Ahlan, a woman in her sixties, had never met a follower of Christ or read the Bible.

But she’d had dreams of Jesus.

When she was nine years old, Ahlan’s mother died. In the midst of her grief, she dreamed of a Man in white who told her, “I will always be with you.” Comforted by the Man’s promise, Ahlan woke up full of peace and believed His words.

In her twenties, Ahlan got an infection that turned her entire arm black. The doctors told her it needed to be amputated. The night before the amputation, she had another dream about the same Man in white. He touched her arm, and the infection went away. When she woke up, the blackness was gone, and her arm was saved.

She saw a Facebook ad that asked, “Have you ever dreamed about a man in white robes?”

As the years passed, Ahlan realized that the Man in white was Jesus. She started telling people that she was a follower of Christ and shared how He had healed her and promised to be with her forever. But she had never been able to find a Bible or meet any other person who believed in Jesus.

Decades later, she saw a Facebook ad that asked, “Have you ever dreamed about a man in white robes?”

Realizing this was her chance to finally meet others who followed Christ, Ahlan clicked the ad and sent a message to the Facebook page.

That’s how she was put in touch with Karen, a Frontiers worker. And for the first time since beginning to trust Jesus, Ahlan found a chance to start reading the Bible. She and Karen have been meeting regularly to study the Word and pray for more Muslim men and women to have their hearts opened to the Gospel.

• Praise God for drawing Muslims like Ahlan to Jesus and sustaining their faith even through years with no fellowship and no access to the Bible.
• Pray for creativity and wisdom for teams like Karen’s as they seek to reach Muslims through social media.
• Ask God to pique the interest of Muslims as they hear about Jesus Christ on Facebook and other social media platforms so that they will pursue Him.
