Middle East: The Gospel Overcomes Barriers and Reaches Brothers

Source: Christian Aid Mission, August 4, 2022

It happens from time to time, but it had never happened for one leader of a ministry based in the Middle East—each of two Muslim relatives finding out the other was secretly seeking Christ.

In a country undisclosed for security reasons, a 22-year-old Muslim recently passed by the local ministry’s church site and picked up a New Testament from the stack outside available for the taking, the leader said.

“He took it home, secretly read from it, and hid it, because he feared what his family might do to him,” the leader said. “He thought for sure that if they saw him reading a Bible, they would get so angry.”

Meantime, his 24-year-old brother was watching the same ministry’s gospel messages online. He saw a video on basic Christian doctrines on social media and secretly put his faith in Christ.

The full story includes several other encouraging accounts about the gospel going forth and a description of some current ministry approaches.
