Afghanistan is one of the worst countries to live in as a Christian. And yet the Believers there are growing at an amazing rate! Here is the story of how the Holy Spirit led one Afghan to Christ...
"My name used to be Gilane Abdul Jamil, but now I'm known as Jamil Abraham. I was born in Afghanistan and I was considered an Islamic Scholar - I have two Masters degrees, in Islamic Studies and in the Pashto language.
I got married in 1990 to a woman who was a teacher. When the civil war started in Afghanistan in 1992 we went to Pakistan where my wife converted to Christianity through the witness if a Pakistani missionary. We returned to Afghanistan in 1995 and my wife gave birth to two beautiful daughters. Since the Taliban were against girls education my wife started an underground home-school for girls in Kabul, also sharing the Gospel with the students. After ignoring Taliban threats she was abducted in 1999 and murdered. I and my daughter's returned to Pakistan.
Since I was an Islamic Scholar I always questioned about the person of the Holy Spirit. In the Quran he is known as the angel Gabriel, but I wasn't happy with that and questioned Believers. During that time I had a dream about Jesus Christ. He came to me, opened his arms and told me "Come to me, I am the Holy Spirit". Despite the dream I still did not believe in him. But I did start comparing Islam with Christianity. While doing that I had another dream exactly the same. I went to church and shared the dream with the pastor. He said to me..."Congratulations! God has invited you to believe and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior". I agreed and gave my heart to Jesus. I got baptised in Rawalpindi, Pakistan in 2000.
Then the Mullah of the area heard about my conversion and tried to kill me. I returned to my country in 2004. Later I married another woman and after a year she also accepted the Lord. She was having dreams about me washing her feet. When she told me these dreams I confessed I was a Christian and invited her to also accept Jesus. She said "If your faith teaches you that kind of humility that you wash my feet, then why shouldn't I accept the Christian faith and wash your feet too?"
I received many threats from the Taliban and decided to take my family to India. I now serve the church there and my job is to translate the New Testament into Pashto. I also write, compose and produce Pashto worship songs. I am a servant of the Lord Jesus and I serve with the Afghan church of New Delhi.
Please pray for me and my family."
PRAISE GOD FOR EVERY NEW BELIEVER! 😍🙏😇
