ICC Note: Muslims in Lebanon are reportedly coming to Christ and ministering to Syrian refugees. The leader of Christian Aid Mission (CAM) has shared stories of Muslims dreaming of Jesus and coming to him. Shortly after, these same new believers begin ministry areas in their local towns through radio, prayer groups and refugee relief. On multiple occasions, women and men, couples and singles, have converted to Christianity and began missionary work on their own.

08/29/2016 Lebanon (Christian Times): Many Muslims in Lebanon turned to Christ as they discovered His presence despite the dangers that face them as they minister to displaced Syrian refugees.

The ministry leader of Christian Aid Mission (CAM) reported that many Syrian refugees experience a resurgence in harassments and that many Lebanese Muslims, too, started turning to Christ.

One unnamed ministry worker reportedly felt Christ’s presence after he awoke at 3 a.m.

“His faith was strengthened and renewed,” said CAM’s ministry leader. “He is faithful in sharing Christ with his family and neighbors, and we ask for continued prayers for him.

A female ministry worker started five prayer groups for women and overcame her illiteracy by audio media to spread God’s Word.

“She doesn’t cease to share the love of Christ with those that she encounters, and we know the only explanation for how she can do all this is the Holy Spirit,” said the leader.

He added that a local couple became missionaries as the husband devoted himself full-time to ministry. There’s also a new Christian convert who braved the dangers in his hometown of south Lebanon where he decided to go back in order to share the gospel with the community’s Muslims. He’s reportedly meeting eight people every day in his house for prayer, where he leads a ministry despite the apparent risks and lack of funding.

“He is a fisherman with a heart for God and an eagerness to minister to his people, no matter how dangerous it may be,” the CAM leader said about this new convert.

Two more ministry workers, also illiterate and who use audio media for evangelization, decided to forge ahead to the war-torn neighbor country of Syria as they claimed that Christ called them to go there to spread His name. They said they can no longer wait for the refugees to go to them and are taking action instead to minister to people who need Jesus.

“The love of Christ burns inside them,” said the ministry leader.
