A Muslim finds Jesus through the web

Apr 30, 2008

A friend of mine at Voice of the Martyrs recently shared this story with us. An Eritrean named Bernie was in, of all places Saudi Arabia. The only way a foreigner can own a business to become partners with a Saudi. He was able to build a business as a gas station. Howevber in Saudi Arabia, this is more of an oasis with all of the services provided, it is more like a resting place. Bernie had set up four computers with internet access. He decided to set the home page to the Jesus Film.

A Saudi came in one day to use the internet and paused because the home page had the Jesus Film queued up. Usually, Saudi's would dismiss Jesus as a historical figure, but this man stayed for an hour and a half and watched the entire video feed.

He approached Bernie and said, "God told me Jesus was real." And Bernie led him to the Lord!

Apparently the highest honor for a Saudi is to get their feet kissed. The man bent down and kissed Bernie's feet and thanked him for bringing him Jesus.
