ICC Note:

According to interview conducted by the Gospel Herald, a “huge warrior angel” rescued Christians from Muslim extremists in the Central African Republic. Angered by the recent evangelistic efforts of Christian believers, a Muslim mob raided an ongoing worship service, brandishing swords and iron bars. While shouting “Allahu Akbar” – “Allah is Great” – they destroyed the church. The mob then turned on the Christian believers, determined to kill them for their faith; one man stabbed the pastor’s neck with a sword. However, Pastor Musthafa “felt an invisible person – who he later identified as a ‘huge warrior angel’ – pull him away from the blade. The attacker, unable to regain his composure or aim, ended up injuring himself with his own sword.’” Amid the ensuing chaos, heavy rain and blustery winds formed unexpectedly. Massive drops of rain fell on the attackers like stones, throwing them into disarray, yet the believers were spared. A large cloud overshadowed the church. “The Christians then saw the Lord Jesus in the cloud, and fell to their knees before Him. Terrified, the Muslim extremists fled…”  

03/17/2017 Central African Republic (Gospel Herald) – A “huge warrior angel” protect a group of Christians from Muslim extremists who entered their place of worship shouting “Allahu Akbar,” determined to kill them.

The Christians, all converts from Islam, were worshiping at a church in Central Africa when a mob of Muslims, angered by the recent evangelistic efforts of the believers, stormed the church, according to a report from Bibles for Mideast, an underground Christian ministry that distributes Bibles and conducts evangelism in Asia, South Africa and the Middle East.

The mob, brandishing swords and iron bars, shouted “Allahu Akbar” – “Allah is Great” – while destroying the church and ripping off the church roof. Then, they turned to the Christians, determined to kill them for their faith. One man stabbed the pastor’s neck with a large sword.

Suddenly, Pastor Musthafa, the leader of the church, felt an invisible person – who he later identified as a “huge warrior angel” – pull him away from the blade.

The attacker, unable to regain his composure or aim, ended up injuring himself with his own sword. Furious, the attackers began beating believers.

Amid the chaos, heavy rain and blustery winds unexpectedly formed with thunder and lightning, swirling around the church and surrounding area. Massive drops of rain fell on the attackers like stones, throwing them into disarray.

Miraculously, the believers stayed dry and protected from the downpour – and suddenly, everyone then became aware of a large cloud overshadowing the church, shielding believers from the rain. The Christians then saw the Lord Jesus in the cloud, and fell to their knees before Him. Terrified, the Muslim extremists fled, fighting to run through the hailstorm.
