Christians In ISIS-Torn Syria Welcomes Extremist Who Gives Life To Christ

July 25, 2017

A Muslim extremist abandons his radical lifestyle and turn to Jesus Christ after witnessing a church service led by Christians in war-torn Syria.

The wonderful event was reported by one of the lead pastor of the ISIS embattled region, to Open Doors USA’s Emily Fuentes who shared in an article for Mission Network News on Monday the story of a pastor in Syria who witnessed the conversion.she also revealed:

“One of the pastors who chose to stay there talked about how he was hosting a church event, feeding the community which was remaining in this city, and they would feed the community and have a sermon where they shared the Gospel message,” Fuentes said.

“And as he’s preparing to do it, he and the other pastor saw a Muslim extremist man with a beard without a mustache, which is an indication of a more fundamental, extremist Muslim, so they were concerned,” she added.

“They prayed about it, but invited the man in and just kept an eye on him, fed him, and he heard the sermon and he gave his life to Christ.” she concluded

It wouldn’t be the first time an IS extremist was converting to Christianity. In 2015, an IS Fighter who has killed many Christians dreamed of a man in white, as told by Youth With a Mission Frontier Missions, Inc.

“He told this YWAM leader that he had begun having dreams of this man in white who came to him and said, ‘You are killing my people.’ And he started to feel really sick and uneasy about what he was doing,” YWAM Director Gina Fadely said at the time.

“The fighter said just before he killed one Christian, the man said, ‘I know you will kill me, but I give to you my Bible.’ The Christian was killed and this ISIS fighter actually took the Bible and began to read it. In another dream, Jesus asked him to follow him and he was now asking to become a follower of Christ and to be discipled.”
