This testimony came from Professor Michael Lacona of Risen Jesus Inc.– “Over 200 Muslims have reported encountering Jesus.” A population under siege. These men, many who had lost children in the conflict were ministered to by Christian missionaries. “During the reading of the Bible, during the sharing of Jesus’ message of peace, a great miracle occurred. Jesus appeared to more than 200 of them in their dreams. These men…. found comfort and solace in Jesus’ appearance. And following this event they decided to convert Christianity.” This would be an otherwise inexplicable event. This was a “shared appearance” of Christ.
This second account is comes from one of 20 women who had taken refuge in a “hideout” in Gaza. Her name is Samar. They were surrounded by combat and dead bodies in the street. which kept getting closer. Most had lost their husbands in the war but still had their children with them. They were Muslims and were praying to Allah to save them. They were hiding for over a month. At the end, they were without food and medicine. Samar: “The bombing kept getting closer….Despite our prayers (to Allah) there was no sign of rescue.” They had lost all hope in Allah. “Then I saw the light. It was moving closer to us. We didn’t know who was approaching us. It was like someone was holding a torch light coming our direction….It was a man in a white robe….His face was different.” He spoke their language but was not of their tribe. The man in white called all of them and helped them pack. “He guided us through the land. He was very tall. He feared nothing. No one was able to talk to him or ask him anything….He took us to a place where there was no threat of bombings. Clean water flowed freely and provisions awaited us.” He gave Samar a note that read “John 3 verse 16.” She knew it was not from the Quran. Later they met a Christian missionary, who told them the man who came to them was an angel sent to save them. Then he shared the message of that verse. “The words of that Bible verse pierced my heart. And it was the same for the other women….It was as if the message spoke directly to us. In that moment we had a powerful transformation occur.” With the guidance of the missionary, all gave their lives to Christ. “We all received Jesus.”
