Ismail explained that Jesus had appeared to him in a dream and instructed him to come to this exact house to learn about Him.
Driss invited him in and told Ismail that he had recently become a follower of Jesus. He wasn’t sure he could answer all of Ismail’s questions. But he would certainly try. Driss felt excited at the chance to try answering Ismail’s questions about Christ.
