Flourish Caf\u00e9 in West Java, Indonesia, opened in 2021, motivated by the owner\u2019s Christian faith and desire to reach out to women victims of human trafficking.

[One of them, Reli, reports] \u201cFrom week to week, I became more and more interested in studying the Bible because so many words in it touched my heart. I installed the Bible app on my phone to read it throughout the week. I told one of my Christian friends about my interest in the Bible. She told me now, if you pray, pray to Jesus Christ. I prayed to Jesus, and several times in a dream, someone wearing a robe came and said, \u2018Do not be afraid. I will help you.\u2019 I believe that Jesus appeared in my dreams.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn December 2021, I decided to be baptized because I had complete confidence to follow Jesus. But, until then, my family and husband did not know I believed in Jesus. They are not pleased that I converted and wish me to return to the Muslim faith. I pray that my parents and husband also believe in Jesus.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
