Food … and the hope of Christ
Returning home, she happily shared what had happened. “I told my husband with much joy how the Lord used Abu Farid,” she says. “For two days I talked how the Lord did this miracle.”
She was later invited to church at the Alliance church where she’d gotten food. “When I sat in that church service, I cried so much” she says, eyes sparkling. “I was there with my daughter. On the way [there], in the street I already felt such a great joy. Thank You Jesus, for leading me here.”
She was touched by the whole sermon, but Pastor George’s sermon made her cry. “I don’t remember what Bible verses he spoke about,” she says. “But it was [from] the Gospel of John; later, I read it at home again.”
To grow in her newfound faith, Nisreen joined the church’s discipleship program. She already has finished three levels of the training. Her three daughters and her son also became Christians and are faithful church attendees with their mother. Her husband still isn’t a follower of Jesus “but seems on his way,” she says. “I always read the Bible, Old and New Testament and I often watch Christian television. I hope that one day I will give discipleship training to other people.”
Her conversion is exceptionally well accepted by her family. “My brother, who lives in Germany, wrote to my parents: ‘You should rejoice, Nisreen is now on the right path,’” Nisreen says. “My father once said: ‘Since [Nisreen] was little, [she] loves Jesus; she always searched for God.’”
