Do Terrorists Find Jesus?

From an area that has been described as an "ocean of despair" comes this positive development.

One terrorist who came to know Jesus is Ray.*

“I was part of a terrorist group. Our intention was to build an Islamic state. In 1991 and 1992 I signed up with this group, so I could be one of the persons to blow myself up, to fight against the Christians or the West. We found some Christians who where converting others to Christianity and I told them to give me the books and all the information. We fought against those Christians. However, I started to read their materials and the Bible. I found out that this information was very good. And then I saw a dream about Jesus.”

His dream:

“There was a place where all the prophets were sitting on horses near me. I started asking questions about who they were, and they said they were Abraham, Jacob and Isaiah. Then I asked who the other was and they said, ‘This is Jesus.’ And then I said, ‘Wow, this is Jesus, this is Jesus?’ I was so excited and so happy. When He removed the veil from His face, I was so … I was full of the Holy Spirit in my life. I felt so strong and started to shout, ‘Jesus! Jesus! Jesus!’ It was amazing, the joy and the strength I had inside my heart. I was laughing and laughing and then I woke up from the dream, and my pillow was full of tears.

“I then asked myself; how can I become a Christian? I asked a friend who pointed me to a bookstore. I went there and found two men. They prayed for me and I became a believer.

“I have my heart full of love for Islamic people, because they are really good people. But they don’t have any love in their hearts -- they are really empty. They don’t know God. They need the truth; they need real love.”
