ICC Note: While the Middle East seems to be drowning in radical Islamic terror, testimonies and stories of conversions are emerging from the region. For surely the power of Christ is at work in the hearts of those living in darkness. In the following story you can hear three Muslim testimonies that are truly unbelievable.

11/28/2016 Middle East (CharismaNews): Over the past couple of years, the world has watched with alarm as ISIS and other radical Islamic gangs have loosed a reign of terror, oppression and fear across the Middle East and beyond.

But in 1980, God began to capture my heart using the witness of two missionaries in Sweden, where I was living at the time. After months of reading the Bible and struggling with the Muslim beliefs that had kept me in chains for so long, I surrendered my life to Christ and was saved and instantly transformed from darkness to light.
