Short Stories from the Field - Part 1
God is doing some pretty amazing things!!
One of the things I hope to do here is share some short stories about what has happened and what IS happening on the mission field where we serve.
This short story is about an encounter that an Afghan believer had with an Afghan family on their journey to the West. The person here in the story is a good friend who we love very much. We often call him our 4th son.
The story starts in 2018 as shared by our fellow missionary:
Hadi needed a vacation, so I told him to catch a ferry off the island and get away for a week. On the overnight ferry this happened:
"Jesus doing mericul praise the lord
Today I meet Afghan family in the ship I started to have conversation with them and than they asked what are u doing here in Greece I told them I am sharing the gospel with people and I can share the gospel with u if u want.they just look to each other and they laughed
, and they said for us is so much
interesting because this the 4h time Jesus want to speak with us, Jesus did many miraculs in our life .we meet Iranian pastor in Iran and he prayed for us and all the way opened for us.we come the turkey also one Christian pray for us and god open the door for us, and when we come to Moria we find bible in our tent .and now in this ship, god put u in our way and they say I think god want to speak with us seriously, so let's speak more so we had study until Athens, when we arrived in Athens I told them goodbye they call me and than say we want accept Jesus and they expected and they want to baptism I hope I can baptism them today.
Jusus is with us 100% he made this trip for reason.
Their testimony it was so powerful
This morning Hadi shared with them the command of baptism and they obeyed immediately. First they baptized the husband and then he had the privilege to baptize his wife! God is good
The rest of the story! The 2024 update:
Just found out today from Johanna (Hadi) this family ran out of money in Athens in 2021, called him and said they want to move back home. Now they lead a house church in Ir@n!
God is so good. This is not an unusual story. God is doing amazing things!!
PLEASE DO NOT REPOST THIS STORY!!
