It has become a common occurrence over the years
for Muslims in the Middle East who have converted
to Christianity to claim to have been compelled to do
so after dreaming of a person who they believe is
Jesus Christ. Now, one militant belonging to the
brutal Islamic State that has massacred Christians
has converted to his victims' religion after dreaming
of "a man in white" with a startling message,
according to one missionary's account.
"One of our YWAM workers in the Middle East was
contacted by a friend earlier this year and they met
up and he was introduced to an ISIS fighter who had
killed many Christians already. I mean that's a
horrible situation, and admittedly, he was probably
on guard," Gina Fadely, director of Youth With A
Mission Frontier Missions, Inc. (YWAM), said during a
recent appearance on The Voice of the Martyrs Radio
Network.
YWAM, a nonprofit missionary organization active
since 1960, describes itself as "a global movement of
Christians from many cultures, age groups, and
Christian traditions, dedicated to serving Jesus
throughout the world." The Voice of the Martyrs
(VOM) is another nonprofit that draws attention to
Christians facing persecution around the world.
Fadely, who appeared on the VOM radio program
along with Kevin Sutter, another YWAM leader, went
on to share that this Islamic State jihadi confessed
not only to killing Christians but "that he had actually
enjoyed doing so."
"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,"
Fadely continued. "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."
"So who knows. Perhaps this man will be like Saul in
the Bible that persecuted Christians and he turned
from that persecution of the early church to become
the Apostle Paul who led it," Fadely added. "God can
turn it around."
The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), also
referred to ISIL and most recently Daesh, has been
since 2013 waging a bloody campaign to establish a
caliphate, or a Sunni-led Islamic government, across
Northern Africa and throughout the Middle East,
although its leadership claims the intention to reach
as far as the Vatican in Rome.
The jihadists' methods are cruel and involve brutal
firing squads, hangings, stonings, and beheadings of
religious minorities such as Yazidis, Christians, and
even other Muslims who go against its hard-line rule.
The Islamic State startled the world when it released
videos of its members killing groups of Ethiopian
Christians in Libya by viciously hacking their heads
from their bodies.
His Grace Bishop Angaelos, General Bishop of the
Coptic Orthodox Church in the United Kingdom, said
after the April killing of one group of 21 Ethiopian
Christians that believers should "forgive and pray for
the perpetrators."
Todd Nettleton, host of VOM Radio featuring the
YWAM directors, stated during the program that the
next time Christians hear about more atrocities
committed by Islamic State militants, they should not
"write them off as being out of reach of God's grace
and out of reach of God's spirit."
Sutter, the other YWAM director who appeared with
Fadley on the VOM Radio program, shared that he
has learned from one of his leaders in the Arab
world, an Arab man, that he had been witnessing a
"spiritual hunger" that was "unprecedented" among
Muslims.
"Many people are now following Jesus but they keep
it quiet. They haven't gone public about it. They even
have church in their own home, they're watching,
they'll serve communion to one another as they're
watching TV," Sutter said.
Fadely suggested that God was using dreams to give
YWAM missionaries a helping hand in reaching
otherwise hard-to-reach groups in the Middle East
with the Christian message. She said she believed
that dreams were one way in which God was
convincing Muslims and other non-Christians to
believe in Jesus as savior.
Nabeel Qureshi, an apologist and the author of
Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus: A Devout Muslim
Encounters Christianity , explained the significance of
dreams to Muslims in a March interview with The
Christian Post.
"In Muslim cultures, generally speaking, people don't
see themselves as being able to commune with God.
Communion is a very Christian concept and the idea
that Christ has torn down the veil — in a lot of
cultures the veil is still up. In Islam, for example,
people don't expect to have God talk back to them
personally, as the Holy Spirit isn't living in them. They
ask God for guidance through dreams; that's like the
one way that Muslims expect to hear from God,"
Qureshi explained.
"For someone to reach out and ask, 'God, can you tell
me about you?' Or, 'If you're Jesus, can you show me
a dream?' That's not strange at all. ... That's kind of
what Muslims do," he added.
Christians have been skeptical of Muslims' claims
that "Jesus dreams" have led them to Christianity, but
longtime Southern Baptist missionary David Garrison
also affirms that many Muslims have been inspired
through these dreams to believe in Jesus as more
than a prophet, as he is acknowledged in Islam. The
CBN video below also looks at the phenomenon and
offers the accounts of former Muslims who claim
dreams of Jesus changed their lives.
