Hasan was affiliated with a terrorist organization in the Middle East when he saw an ad from a GMO ministry. It asked a simple question: Do you want to know God personally? Hasan had a simple answer: Yes. He clicked on the ad and connected with an Online Missionary named Mariam. Mariam and Hasan began to chat about life, faith, and God. Over the following months, Mariam shared the Gospel and answered Hasan’s questions about Christianity and theology. One night, while reading through the Gospel of John, Hasan felt what he described as electricity going through his body. For the first time, he thought, This might actually be true. Our Middle East and North Africa team is increasingly hearing miraculous stories of the Gospel spreading across the region. This is Hasan’s story. It’s a great example of disciples making disciples as Jesus transforms not only the lives of individuals but entire communities of people. A TESTIMONY FROM THE MIDDLE EAST
Soon after, Mariam prayed fervently for Jesus to come to Hasan in a dream and speak to him directly. That very night—without Hasan knowing about this petition—Jesus came to him in a dream. “Tell the woman you’ve been talking to that I appeared to you,” Jesus said. “You will be sharing my light with thousands of others like you.”
FOR THE FIRST TIME, HE THOUGHT, “THIS MIGHT ACTUALLY BE TRUE.”
After this, Hasan became involved in GMO’s secret church and discipleship meetings on Zoom. He accepted Christ as his Savior and became an Online Missionary himself. Since then, Hasan has shared the Gospel over 12,000 times with people of Muslim background as an Online Missionary at GMO.
