Evangelism Through Dreams
Something incredible is happening across the planet these days, especially in Islamic countries where Christians aren’t permitted to go. Jesus is visiting people in their dreams; many times they are people who don’t have the opportunity for a missionary to come and visit them to tell them about the good news of Jesus.
.
This is happening where we are here in the Niassa province of Mozambique among the Yao people as well. We have some amazing stories of how God spoke to people who are now believers before they ever came to Christ. For example, Phineus, who is now a church leader at the church in Assumane, a few years ago had a dream that two white people, one tall, the other short, would come to tell him important news about eternal life. Not long after, Jesse and Tanya, a tall white man and short white woman, strolled into Assumane to evangelize after they first arrived in Lichinga, stopped at Phineus’ house, and shared the gospel of Christ with him. He gladly accepted the good news of Jesus, perhaps because the Lord had already prepared the way through the dream he had. Dreams are very important in the Yao culture.
.
Tonight we showed a short film about a Muslim man from Africa who had given his life to Christ because Jesus came to him in his dreams. After his conversion, he was completely cut off from his family; his father even tried to kill him because of his “infidelity” to the Muslim faith. It’s a great film. Please feel free to watch it below as it is in the Yao language, yet with English subtitles.
.
The truth is, there are people in our church of Assumane who have literally been cut off from their family because of their faith in Christ. Yet they remain faithful to Jesus in the midst of this persecution from within their own families. Please pray for them. There is a great cost in them following Jesus, rather than following Islam. We are living in the last days. God is "not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." This is the heart of Jesus. He is reaching people who are unreachable through missionary efforts. Literally thousands of Muslims are being visited by Jesus in their dreams and giving their lives to Him. Praise the Lord!
